Another no... And again, what I think about the anti-EQ-ism in "audiophile" community...


I wasn’t asking you to stop talking about EQ, I’m saying that this is not a thread about the price of tea in China, make a whole new slew of threads about EQ (which I use) but we are here for stealth impressions.

We have a smart one here...

I don't want to promote any retailer so I won't include a link but there's a detailed review on Moon Audio if anyone is interested.

I, too, don't want to promote anything but...won't you look at that...TOTL tea for TOTL headphone... Good to drink along listening to the non-existing-imaginary Stealth. With the EQ on, of course.

It's been up for a little while now. Honestly, I didn't learn anything I didn't already know. YMMV.

Moon Audio reviews in general = generic blurb, cursory impressions, + sales pitch for their own cables thrown in toward the end.

It's not the most rewarding formula.

Luckily I had an Aeon Closed so got my DCA discount now, I'd rather order from them directly and get hit with the EU customs rather than buying from EU where it will still be expensive!
I did the calculations for import to Germany and the price lands at about 3500-3700€ for the discounted price, because shipping cost is included in the import tax calculation.
For full price the cost will run at about 4100€ if shipping is excluded so around 4300-4400€ with shipping. Ordering directly might save a significant amount for those living in the EU, if you have already bought from DCA.

Keep in mind though that some banks and payment services use ridiculous exchange rates and/or charge fees for international payments. Check the fine print before making the decision.

tough to imagine a retailer giving a negative review to a product they sell?...how would that work and what retailer would want that retailer selling its products

I agree. But I don't discriminate. I consume it all, good or bad data/impressions/feadback ( whatever you want to call it). Then filter though all that noise to see if it's worth my time and money to investigate further. At the end, an actual in person audition will determine if product that I am interested in is for me or not.
I take impressions of other audiophiles on here with the same grain of salt. But I appreciate the input nevertheless.

I believe manufacturers aren't terrified of constructive criticism. Without it, how would they know the areas that needs improvement?

I saw this video earlier today that explains a bit metamaterials in acoustics, apparently they design the shape to affect specific frequencies in specific ways.

I don’t know, not a fan of this….the more you absorb and reflects or redirect the sound waves, the more “unoriginal” that it is. Anyways, Meta Acousic Signature would be Meta-Unique. I think the Flash has this to fight off other Meta-Human
