This is a hill I will gladly die on. I’ll put the Artti T10 up against any single driver planar magnetic up to $400. Period. End of story. I just did a comp with the S12 Pro, NiceHck F1 Pro and the original Timeless. It wasn’t even close. Considering what I have heard about the S15, it would...

Do yourself a solid and spend the $50-$70 (depending on current sales) and give the Artti T10 a try. That’s all I am going to say.

Any word yet on the price of the upcoming 7Hz Aurora? Can’t find anything on the innerwebs…

I have contacted HiFiGo support several times, for different reasons and I have never waited more than 24 to 48 hours for a response. And it’s usually quicker. Helen is the person I have communicated with mostly, and she is wonderful, but I’ve never been dissatisfied with anyone who has answered...

I had heard that the Mullard tubes were bright and grainy, so I avoided getting a matched pair. Sounds like that was bad info. Thank you for clearing that up.

I hear ya. I sidegrade is okay for now. I’m just interested in hearing any difference between the two, not necessarily an “improvement” at this point. I’m sure that time will come, so I will keep your recs in mind. Appreciate it!

Thank you. I really appreciate the quick response too! ☮️

This question has probably been asked and answered to death, so apologies in advance. Anyway, here goes. My TA-22 is arriving on Monday. I’m planning on testing quite a few IEMs and some over ear headphones on it for a week or so with the stock tubes. Around next weekend I expect to receive the...

Top one is JJ El.

Please help. For the TA-22, Which one? The RCA NOS is double the price of these, but if they’re worth it, I might consider the upgrade. Any help would be appreciated

I purchased this back in May of ‘23 and returned it in favor of the HipDac2. The price on Amazon was (and still is) $140. I just re-bought is on AliExpress (Bright Audio Store) brand new for, get this: $72.31. Sometimes when things die, like MQA has, there is a benefit to the consumer. The Q3...

I’ll just get the Kefine Klanar then. $450 is more than I would spend on ANY single driver iem at this point. I think I’ll save my duckets for the Jupiter and grab the currently $90 Klanar for my next planar. Not Shuoer what Letshuoer was thinking here.

If anyone is looking to offload a Zetian Wu (OG purple reign), I am looking to pick up a set. Can’t find anything in classifieds and all I can find is overpriced used sets on eBay.

Copycat! Lol! I had the same experience. Had already ordered the Dekoni customs which actually beat the headphones to my door from Amazon Japan no less. Ordered a Hart Audio balanced cable as well. I spent about 30 mins in stock mode, and it was “different”. I could tell the quality was there...

Hi and thank you for getting back to me so quickly. I found the problem. It’s the poweramp app. After my last FDR, I only downloaded QoBuz. Nothing else. And the streaming playback is working just fine. No problems with 16/44.1, 24/44, 24/48 or 24/96. The minute I downloaded poweramp (which I...

So, I am having hi-res playback issues. I subscribe to qobuz studio with access to files up to 24/192. The problem is when I play anything above 16/44.1 there is no sound whatsoever. If I stop the track and restart it, there is sound, but it reverts back to 44.1K. I have downloaded the newest...

I bought a Geekria headphone carrying case 13x10x5 and replaced their insert with the insert that came in the Venus box. Used the felt from the Geekria insert to fill in the gap at the top and presto! I can carry everything, including my Dac and my DAP in that one case. Need some glue to secure...

Did the same and agree with all of the above. Just took them off and put them to bed. Didn’t want to, but it’s late. Great pairing though. Highly recommended 😀
