Does anyone know how Sines compare to the closed-back Fostex mods?
Does anyone know how Sines compare to the closed-back Fostex mods?
Does anybody know if they make balanced Pono cables, like the EL-8?
Would you buy these if somebody wanted to sell their pair to you for $100.00 off retail without a box or receipt?? Feedback please?
Probably not. Depending on where you're located and if you're looking for the cipher version or not, RazorDog has a returned standard cable pair for close to that price...with all the packaging and full warranty. If you're inclined to take the deal you're talking about, I'd email Audeze before you pull the trigger and see what the implications are for the warranty.
ACID TEST
OK, I have had the Sines with Cipher cable for about a month now. I have now put them to the ACID TEST, which is: even though they sound great, and don't crush my ears any more, DO I USE THEM? This is the most important test of all. I use them every day! The fact that I can put them on, plug the cipher cable into my iPhone 6 and be immediately listening to music makes them my goto mobile rig. Even though the Mojo SQ is better, I tend to use the Audeze Sines with Cipher far more often. Convenience and simple carry trumps highest SQ from a chain of devices. YMMV
Ended up sending that case back and have been using the Audeze EL-8 travel case, which has been working very well. Cheers
Check out post 1246. Cheers
@mscott58 - why did you return it? Looks great in the photos, and I was going to order it for my Sine (which should arrive tomorrow...)!
