    Should be SpinFit CP-145. Aurum works well with CP-100+ also.

    Don't know if you noticed, but there is nice BF discount (15%) for Genesis series and Aurum's black design in the price (I love it) -> link

    The Lotoo LE-M1 has arrived at MusicTeck!

    I posted a few photos of the LE-M1 (and P6K) first and soon will add an impression about sound :)

    @dhruvmeena96 @Metalboyy After listening to the first prototype I send Jędrzej my thoughts and suggestions towards tuning. He already retuned the new model a little based on it. So it's safe not to share details. I can tell that stage size is really nice, sound is well balanced. Overall, if you...

    Astell&Kern Launches USB-C Dual DAC Cable

    It won't be a popular opinion, but It seems like right now LG V series phones are a bit overrated in the audiophile community :) If you have it and are happy with it, that's good. But if you are thinking about buying a smartphone from V series before better models due to higher sound quality, it...

    Astell&Kern Launches USB-C Dual DAC Cable

    @goodyfresh no problem, here vs Lotoo PAW S1 (both from PC): - LPS1 is more natural here with more transparent mids and more liquid-like presentation; PEE51 in comparison sound touch more neutral, so it could sound more "technical" (not as natural and effortless); - PEE51 provides tighter and a...

    Astell&Kern Launches USB-C Dual DAC Cable

    @goodyfresh vs FiiO BTR5? Ok, here (FiiO as USB DAC/AMP; both from PC): - AK PEE51 has a cleaner sound with noticable darker background and protection against EMI/RFI is better (much less hiss when using near smartphone working on 4G); - the sound of PEE51 has better control, is more natural and...

    Astell&Kern Launches USB-C Dual DAC Cable

    I had the opportunity to listen to PEE51 (USB-C Dual DAC Cable) for more than a week already. So here are some impressions: build quality is exceptional, but PEE51 is a bit heavy portable DAC/AMP due to a solid metal shell; cable has additional shield; design is simple, yet very impressive IMHO...

    Craft Ears Reviews/Impressions Thread

    I had a great opportunity to spend some time not only with a hybrid IEM prototype from Craft Ears, but also with their SIX - IEM with 6 BA drivers (2+2+1+1) and proprietary technologies like RASEN Bass, SES (Space Expanse System) or True Load. This is the final version with smaller shells than...

    The discovery thread!

    From what I understand from conversation with the manufacturer, DAC/AMP is added for smartphones' users, so they could also enjoy RIE-1000 in an optimal way. This IEM likes power, so it seems like a good decision. I understand you point of view that lack of that DAC/AMP could probably bring the...

    The discovery thread!

    If someone has the opportunity to check the Ranko RIE-1000, it is definitely worth it. RIE-1000 is a model made by Tralucent Audio (company owned by Ranko Acoustics), but selling under the Ranko brand. It isn't the cheapest IEM, but for 470 USD it is one of more affordable true tubeless...

    Craft Ears Reviews/Impressions Thread

    @MatusSVK photos reveal the key feature (about IEM type) :D I don't have stock cable and eartips. I paired them with CM Cable Penumbra 8, PWaudio Monile ft. 1950s, Ego Audio Champagne and few more. If you like great stage with horrific windth, you will like it.

    Something new is coming from Craft Ears. I can't reveal much about the prototype I'm testing, but I will mention that it sounds great. I can also post some photos :D

    The discovery thread!

    Presentation is holographic with very good channel separation. Stage is quite big, the width isn't extreme, but above average, high and depth are very nice. IMHO Jaspers works well with Symbio W peel. Those eartips provides stronger subbass and more focused vocals, but few other options provide...

    I also think that iBasso IT07 are very very good. Nice upgrade from IT04. Not only even better sound, but also better shell design and new silver cable.

    The discovery thread!

    Final silver and black models have the same tuning. Prototypes have different tunings. Final one is natural-neutral, the second tuning was more fun V-shaped with a bigger mid bass and brighter, more energetic treble. I like the final one more, safer, vocals are more romantic, presentation is...

    The discovery thread!

    Considering I use hybrid cables like Labkable Draco and Ego Audio Cocktail with Oxygen/KXXS to make them sound more lively and dynamic, I would say I could prefer Jasper, that sound that way out of the box. It could be also the fascination with the novelty (last 2,3 weeks I listening mainly to...

    The discovery thread!

    @davidmolliere you welcome :D Jasper's highs aren't dark, lifeless or dull. Treble extension is surprisingly good and the presentation has a nice amount of air. Also highs are quite lively, there is nice splash and hi-hat isn't too distant. Yet highs aren't overly bright and upfront (they sit...

    Aune Jasper are really nice. Build quality is good, the case is stylish and the sound is great. I was able to listen to their two tuning options and finally they have chosen the better one IMHO. Natural tonality with great lows (quite fast, with precise subbass), clear, but not thin mids with...

    Lime Ears Pneuma - discussion and impressions

    Yeah, saw that at their Facebook's page. Great cable for that price. I love my own No10. It should be a gigantic step forward vs Plastic One from previous model :D

    Lime Ears Pneuma - discussion and impressions

    I hope they change not so good quality stock Plastic One cable for something good if price goes up. This model should have at least a decent stock cable, but not much info about that right now...

    Lime Ears Pneuma - discussion and impressions

    Lime Ears made their first hybrid model named Pneuma. It's 5 driver configuration with 1DD for subbass, 2 BA for midbass, 1 BA for mids and 1 BA for highs and has bass switch. Seems a bit like evolution from Aether R I like, so I could be an interesting model that deserved it's own thread. New...

    Lime Ears Aether - Ciem Flagship - discussion, review, and impressions thread

    Before I mentioned Satin Audio Athena 8X and PW audio Monile (4-wire) as great choices for Aether R, but now I want to add some info about less expensive cables that work great with Lime Ears flagship and make it sound better. Here's some impressions about (all of them are much better than...
