    Review by 'grumpy213' on item 'Elysian Acoustic Labs Diva'

    Preamble Thank you to @Damz87, @EffectAudio and Elysian Acoustics for arranging the Australian tour of the Elysian Diva 2023. In the audio hobby there is a tendency to get caught in the hype, a new release comes out, some enthusiastic impressions at a show and before you know it, it’s sold out...

    Effect Audio cables thread

    haha I was skeptical too at first Rich but heard differently when I had all the EA cables through the tour.

    The discovery thread!

    It is I, pepe frog guy. Quite liked the Hype2 and especially the IMPACT SQUARED 2x DDs which seem to be doing great work in producing a powerful yet detailed bass. Excited to see this isobaric setup being used in future IEMs.

    Review by 'grumpy213' on item 'Thieaudio Hype 2'

    Preamble Many thanks to @o0genesis0o, Linsoul and Thieaudio for providing me with the Hype 2's for a review. It feels as though Chi-fi has a new release every other week and in the midst of that, there are a lot of questions to be asked. What is the best at $XXX? Is it worth the extra $XXX for...

    Effect Audio x Elysian Acoustic Labs Gaea - Discussion & Impression Thread

    Shoutout to @Damz87 and @EffectAudio for arranging the Australian tour of the Gaeas! My review is available here and the gist of it is that it is a very unique and sparkly sounding IEM! Probably not my first choice for a daily driver but definitely something that has a certain X factor to it!

    Effect Audio cables thread

    Many thanks to @Damz87 and @EffectAudio for arranging the tour of the Fusion 1 cable! I also had the great fortune of having the Fusion 1 at the same time as some other EA cables and have published a little round up here. All in all, I am very impressed by the Fusion 1 and think that it would...

    Grateful to be part of the Australian tour of the NE4, XE6 and RN6 arranged by @Damz87, Minidisc Australia and Fir Audio! Wrote my reviews for the: Neon 4; Xenon 6; and Radon 6. Overall, the common strand between all three was just the sheer technical capabilities of the 10mm Kinetic Bass DD...

    FiR Audio Neon 4

    The Neon 4 is for the lover of smooth, creamy sounds. Which it achieves without sacrificing resolution. The Neon 4’s highlight lies in its lush, upper mids and trebles. As well as a stellar sense of space and positioning from its ATOM XS module. Place these characteristics on a snappy, speedy...

    Preamble Thank you to @Damz87, MiniDisc Australia (http://minidisc.com.au) and Fir Audio themselves for arranging this Australian tour of the Fir Audio RN6, XE6 and NE4. The technology involved in the production of personal music listening, specifically transducers or IEMs is hardly a novel...

    Aune S17 pro

    I enjoy Zeo's from an entertainment perspective but he doesn't give that much in the way of expounded detail. Basically it seems like it is a true class A sound that hits fairly hard and gives him much enjoyment from headphones that are usually too bright or just not that enjoyable. The heat...

    Aune S17 pro

    I haven't had experience with the A70 specifically but I would venture to say it would present the most "vanilla" of sound out of the three contenders. The SA-1 and the S17 would likely be "poorer" on measurements but have slightly more coloured sound. This is all hearsay however.
