Mm..thanks Sennheiser. The HE 1 is the one. I was truly stunned by what I heard. Truly a headphones system to end all headphones.

I really can't wait till 64audio tia's technology start to trickle down to more affordable range of products. Tia Fourte was so damn good, I was not even that impressed with Dita Dream compared to it. I'll try VE8 tomorrow, gonna grab my dx200 in other place while at it

Wow, it looks so solid and awesome TBH. Are they using that iMac to feed the DAC via USB? What software were they using, HQ Player?
tried the empire x effect 'arthur' and 64 audio 'tia fourte', and it was amazing. especially the latter, it is on a different level. even with its stock cable, i think it has surpassed many if not all in the building. simply the best. met vlad too, the co-founder of 64 audio, finallywhat he and his brother have achieved through progress from their humble laboratory/apartment, is highly respectable.

Any further impressions of the Fourte would be much appreciated. Thanks!

another thing to awe, labkable. they have a rreally wonderful collection of cables. one of them, 'samurai' is made out of platinum? not to mention, 'titan', the clearest sounding cable i've heard. wow x 2500
Did they tell why and how platinum is better than silver?

Because it's more expensive?!

I like more impression also. "Damn good" are not descriptive words for music

It is a pretty fair indicator though, I reckon!

Thanks for the pic. Now, i see you have George's Carbon. How does your set up compare to the BHSE/009/Holo Spring, sound wise? Appreciate some impressions. Thanks
Tried it and felt that I will have a hard time telling which set up is different.They are more similar than different. Heard a tad more tube smoothness in Norah Jones's voice from the BHSE.
Wont go wrong from either sets.
Anyone have impressions/info regarding the Effect Audio Lionheart?
Some of my favorites from day 1 were the Final audio Sonorous VI, the D6 prototype from LMUE and Cayin N3.
Great vibe inside and so many wonderful people to meet

Mm..yup. Mac. Did not pay attention to the software. They played a few tracks first then you can request from the database (lots). It is solidly made. From up close, it looks very handsome. Even the remote control weighed considerably. It was explained that the tubes should last at least 6 years and user replaceable. Choice of customization include the Italian marble (black), knobs and, yes, even the serial numbers (8s for luck as an example.).
I'll attempt to audition the Shangrila today for comparison.
For those who have a timeslot for the Sennheiser HE 1 auditions:

Some brief impressions from Day 1
Final Audio E3000
Final Audio E3000 prototype
Single dynamic driver, ridiculously small footprint, similar to their Heaven series. Rather V-shaped with great control over micro details. Bass carries good impact, might be slightly muddy for some. Mids are clean, and well controlled. Treble might get a bit hot for some, but they add a nice sparkle for those who like bright IEMs.
DUNU DK3001 Prototype, uses Knowles BA drivers
DUNU DK3001
4-driver hybrid, single DD + 1 single BA + 1 double BA
DUNU house sound, rather neutral with a slightly mid-centric/bright presentation. Makes for good spatial representation and layering of instruments, hence great detail. Near analytical, but retains a hint of musicality. Treble extends very well, and isn't too piercing. Mids are sweet, female vocals definitely win here. Bass is present, nothing too boomy or loud. Not as impactful as some IEMs, but has a nice weighty punch without taking centre stage. Overall emphasis is on upper-mids/highs.
FLC Celeste, CIEM?
FLC Celeste Prototype
4 driver hybrid, 1 DD + 3 BA (iirc)
Has a nice switch to play around with, one of which changes the tuning from Vocals to Rock/Pop (according to the instructions). This one goes from a mid-centric IEM to a rather bass heavy, V-shaped one, and it sounds very different from each other. Hard to describe the base tuning, but given that it has 108 configurations done througg the gears in the IEM, nothing much can be said other than to try it yourself. Very intruiging IEM.
