It is quite tantalizing reading all of your accounts of ‘Susvara at its best’. It is like reading a letter from a beautiful place one has never been, But can imagine, if only dimly. But it is enough to stimulate longing and then pursuit.
It reminds me of when I worked in Nepal, south of the Everest region. I realized early on that I did not have the capacity to summit Everest (29k feet), but I might get to the top of Kalapatar (18k feet). The latter was still jaw-dropping, if admittedly not the same as summitting (though I will never know how much different).
It seems that, as
@Sajid Amit said in his Susvara review, that optimizing the Susvara experience is a sub-hobby of the hifi hobby- one may end up trying a series of lesser gears as one gradually pursues a more enjoyable experience. But I am wondering if I may - like I did in Nepal— achieve a ‘height’ that satisfies my personal desire while still realizing there is ‘more’.
I am happy I took the step to buy them and enter the journey. Even with my limited chain, there are glimmers of what may be experienced down the road, further “up”.
