ThieAudio Signature Series Tribrid IEMs
I just saw your PM. It's 100000% worth saving if you're 100000% sure what you want. I found it on sale at 25% off, which from $5599 to $4199 AUD is a fair bit. Still hurt the wallet but to say they are one of the most funnest, engaging and musical iems I've heard in years is an understatement...- HardstyleLoco96

Rank the IEM's you've heard
It's unfortunate how the Monarch MK3 can be a hit or miss with fit. You need that seal or it's a flop. I loved them, but the fit was a little tight in my ear and caused discomfort after a bit of listening. The Prestige LTD was much better for me. Hopefully in newer revisions if they make some...- HardstyleLoco96

ThieAudio Signature Series Tribrid IEMs
Oh I do enjoy them and never worry of an upgrade. But seeing how Thieaudio seems to bring out a new revision every year or two. It's interesting to think what could be the next thing. Anyways, made two new side grade orders. Symphonium Titan & Campfire Audio Trifecta Amber Radiance 😁- HardstyleLoco96

ThieAudio Signature Series Tribrid IEMs
I agree. It doesn't just do bass very well. But mids and treble are beautiful to. It truly is a perfect all rounder and extremely balanced iem. Where as some other iems, they'll be masters at lows, or mids or treble. The Prestige LTD just does everything with a great balance. But it does it so...- HardstyleLoco96

ThieAudio Signature Series Tribrid IEMs
Just finished listening to Tool Lateralus. For people saying the Prestige LTD is bass light.... That album proves the Prestige LTD really gives what the song has to offer. WOW. At times, I felt it could be a bit much but no. It never crossed that line. And what it gave was so dense and...- HardstyleLoco96

SASH Deux & Tres; impressive planars from Ukraine
I'd say the Tres 45 compliment my Hifiman Ananda Nano nicely. The Nano has larger staging, more detail, clarity, faster transients, a touch more impact in the low end but also is brighter. The Tres 45 is overall more relaxed, more fluid, relaxed, has warmth and overall a more musical and natural...- HardstyleLoco96

ThieAudio Signature Series Tribrid IEMs
I feel it's very tricky to find something that is a direct upgrade to the Prestige LTD that's won't cost double or tripple the price. You can maybe find something that has more detail, bass slam, soundstage etc. But to be completely a full upgrade that has better low end, better mids, better...- HardstyleLoco96

ThieAudio Signature Series Tribrid IEMs
The Maestro would most certainly have more low end thump. But the Prestige LTD gives what the song has to offer. It's truly song dependent. If the track has been mastered with low end that extends. It'll deliver. If not. You'll get thump, but it won't hit hard as other iems. I listen to a lot of...- HardstyleLoco96

ThieAudio Signature Series Tribrid IEMs
I am not a believer of cables doing huge differences in sound. But the new cable I recieved actually does make a slight difference. Now how? I have no idea. Impedance? Maybe. No clue. But to say that notes actually sound more dense and thicker. The low end has a touch more kick and staging feels...- HardstyleLoco96

High-Purity Headphone Cable LL-4.4A Is Officially Released!
That last sentence. "That's why I'm happy too see affordable cables from manufacturers with trustworthy reputation" Nailed it! 😁👍. I'll be using this cable for my Ananda Nano and maybe I'll grab another for my Focals. It's cheap, seems reliable. Easy purchase- HardstyleLoco96

High-Purity Headphone Cable LL-4.4A Is Officially Released!
I love bang for the buck. But talking of state of the art.... Hifiman Shangri-La is a good headphone. But personally, Susvara is better. For the price. The Shangri-La did not impress. Anyways, I ordered the Fiio Cable 😁 Absolutely agree. I don't see the need in spending hundreds or thousands on...- HardstyleLoco96

Introducing HIFIMAN Ananda Nano
Different in I find the Nano to present better depth than the Arya Stealth and Ananda Stealth. The Arya Stealth is wider and taller in presentation. But has less depth and info presented when it comes to layering. The Ananda Stealth is overall less wider and taller and doesn't layer aswell as...- HardstyleLoco96

From my experience. It's not a huge difference. About 5% - 8% in width and height. But depth. The Nano is different.- HardstyleLoco96

Introducing HIFIMAN Ananda Nano
Crazy. I'd take an EQd Ananda Nano over a non EQd Arya Organic or HE1000SE..... Yes the Organic and HE1000SE will stage a bit better and have a touch more detail. But an EQd Nano is so so soooo much more enjoyable to listen. A free parametric eq goes an extremely long way. 🤌🔥 and if anything...- HardstyleLoco96

Introducing HIFIMAN Ananda Nano
Has anyone tried after market pads on the Ananda Nano? I know there's Dekoni. But seems they can be hit or miss with QC. I want to get leather earpads just for comfort but also durability. I know sound may take a hit so I'm either sticking to leather or hybrid pads. Maybe perforated too...- HardstyleLoco96

Ordered a magical Rainbow Unicorn to travel the depths of space and time into another dimension inside the Prestige LTD hahahahahha. It's a similar cable to the Noble Audio Vivid. But instead of 16core, it's 4 core, though thicker wire which I prefer, as thick cables can be heavy. 16 core is...- HardstyleLoco96

That's actually a very nice looking cable. I agree. There is no need to spend hundreds. Anywhere between $20 to $200 for me personally is a good mark. And you can find truly godly cables at the $200 mark. It'll put many Effect audio cables costing twice or tripple to shame. But my challenege is...- HardstyleLoco96

You know a iem is special once you start looking for a cable. Not because you need to. But because you want to. I want to bling up the Prestige LTD with a nice cable. So many options.

Elaborate as I do not see these settings. I only use BT if in transport but mainly use the USB C into my phone. If I can get better settings for BT, It'd be helpful if you could explain. I use UAPP and spotify- HardstyleLoco96
