Thanks, it looks like some kind of a snake skin. I have three face plates already.

What material exactly is the dragon skin? And can one buy them/

Yes, I own the Utopia, they are different. At the moment I prefer iem more.

Well the price is only US$230.00 if that is pricey. It is just a fraction of many name brand cables like effect audio, PW cable etc. As for make up, it is a combination of gold plated pure silver, silver, gold, palladium alloy and single crystal OCC copper. The sound on blind test, sounds...

Well I've been listening to my A8000 and the Luna for two months now. I will not be writing a review on either as there are a number of them posted already but I will write a A8000 vs Luna especially in terms of micro comparison (meaning 10 to 20 seconds at a time while they are both tarry in...

Are those natively recorded DSD 512 files or are they upsampled from lower source? Because there are really not that many natively recorded DSD512 releases, at least not 800 files. Another way to test them is to send them to me and I will load them into my SP2K and test them:wink:

The conventional wisdom has it that you match two pieces of audio equipment from the opposite side of the warm-cold dimension so they can balance each other’s weaknesses out, ie a warm phone with a bright cable or dap, or a bright dap/dac with a warm phone etc. However, the SP2000 is an...

That is exactly my point. Five posts in response to my question and none stated that electrostatic sounds better just because because it is electrostatic but they sound better because of something else.

Personally LPGD may be too bright or corse for me, LPGT is much better though

Ha Ha, if you want to be concrete about it let me clarify, solid gold as oppose to gold plated, and is referred to the casing, just like the current Erlkoing's shell is made of solid silver, and obviously not talking about the whole phone, but I admitt it does take a little inferring;-) But on...

Very well said as I know most of their Erlkonig orders come from Asia. It sounds like VE is making the last batch LE without a change of sound character. We'll see.

I want the next edition to be in solid gold.

Yohoo!!!! My Erlkonig is obsolete. Thank you VE for making a non LE Erlkonig LE. I truly believe what you have is a classic. @aaf evo please let me know whenever you want to let them go. The fact remain is that you still can buy the LE Erlkonig now but the OG Erlkonig is gone forever. Toaster...

Ha Ha you don‘t know who Jude is and you are in Headfi. You should find out and watch some of his videos prior to Can Jam.

Welcome to the Asylum. For your information, I also bought the rose gold and the black Onyx face plates. Thought I was done then I went ahead and bought two more iems (A8K and Luna). I am hopelessly locked up for life.

You cannot fix a bending 2-pins on a cable with a plier? Let me show you how........:wink:

Sorry guys, something went wrong and I double posted some pictures. Don’t know how to delete them.

Well the Luna is in the house. The packaging and accessories are top notch. The leather cases feel like something from LV or some Italian fashion brand like Hermès. I love the presentation excepting I wish there is a L/R marking on the shell. I am just guessing based on the placement in the...

@davidmolliere, great job on the review, there are several areas you did not discussed and I like to hear your opinion on them. 1. Sound shape, is it U, V, flat etc? In particular how far is the mid range. On the stage, first row etc? Frequently with phone like the Z1R, by the time I adjusted...

There are a few on this tread that have heard both briefly in show condition. With our extremely short audio memory (like twenty seconds) nothing is better than AB comparison. But from impressions on this thread, I have a feeling that the two may not even sound the same. One is spacious and...

What about low mid (250 to 1000) for male vocal? Is it recessed, does it have layers, timbre, texture, overtune, dynamics, transparency etc?

Soon enough, I will have the A8000 in my right hand and the Luna in my left, and I will ABABABABABABABABABABABABAB and report

No doubt coming from EE Phantom, it's like you've just finished two weeks of weight loss program, you feel thin. But then you realized that you are now delicate and floating on air. Enjoy.

Ha Ha， 恰似你的温柔， awesome
