Good catch, missed that review from
@ryanjsoo on THL, indeed great comparison with the Phantom fully agree with him there.
While I am here I got myself a nice 4.4 to 3.5 adapter which enables me to use the Hansound Zen 8 wire with the ALO CV5 and oh my this is again quite a step up in SQ the 1Z / CV5 (with 6832 tube) / Zen 8 / Solaris combo is really breathtaking. The Solaris like good copper, and 8 wires really brings out superb bass textures, even richer mids with a more accurate timbre and even more refined treble. I have a hard time putting the combo down, really just lost in the music... so much so that all of a sudden the CV5 battery just emptied and I was amazed at how long I had been lost in it... fun times
This has been over a month and now close to 200 hours listening to the Solaris (yes, I do clock insane listening time... around 6 hours average... sure has taken its toll on sleep...) and I am still in absolute awe at the SQ, kudos to
