I’ve only listened to my Anandas a few times. I always go to my senn 800.
Am I missing something

There are two Ananda's on sale at hifiman.com. One is open box for $599 and the other is B stock for $539. I'm happy with my Sundara's or I might have bought one of them.

When I bought the Ananda's I listened to them in the store along with the Sundara's and decided on the former because they reproduced the timbre of strings better and because they gave a little more detail. But I only tried them with classical music, which is the kind of music I listen to the most.

Ananda destroys Sundara imo there is no competition except you want more energetic sound which Sundara does a bit better.

I don't really active in this thread, so I'm not sure why (I even checked the search function). Guys, why no one talk about Ananda Stealth magnet?

It deliver even more balance frequency response, more vivid midrange, overall being fuller, smoother and more cohesive compared to old Ananda.



p.s: I also confuse why Hifiman hasn't update their web about Ananda Stealth Magnet. Yes, it's new release, but been around in market (here in Indonesia) for around a month.

Never heard of it. Any pic ?

I know right, now it feels so damn weird.

A picture that I snapped when I tried it. I did't take photo of the box though. It clearly stated "Stealth Magnet" on it.

Stealth magnets are magic. Ananda had too much drawbacks imo. I'm sure this version is a significant improvement.

I keep hearing and seeing talks about Ananda 2021 revision. All shops seem to advertise for sale Ananda 2021. Does anyone know what's changed?

God dammit. So there really IS a 2021 revision! Now I have to sell my older Anandas to get the new ones...

Any comparisons between LCD-2Fs and the ananda's?

Seems as HIFIMAN is moving to stealth magnets, perhaps for inventory or supply issues.

 

[yeboyi]

That's a new packaging. Any impressions compared to Ananda ?

 

[HTSkywalker]

Any upgrade in performance vs the old version ?

Very different.
