Yeah, that's chunky...

Surprisingly yhey fit much MUCH better then zeniths.

This hobby really isnt a hobby, it more like a sickness LOL

Dont know if that can be explained any better..

I was thinking halcyon because I really don’t wish to spend semper money.

I’m loving the Rah because they sound so much more alive than previous models. If electrostat adds more then I’m in for the semper.
Would it be fair to say a planar adds detail to the lower to mid octaves and an electrostat adds more detail to mid to upper octaves, the DD gives the weight and body and the ceramic, hmmm I’m not sure what words to use to describe what it adds but you catch my drift.

As another poster mentioned and which you elude to too, I can easily not upgrade and be fully content for a long time, but I was going semper it’s £100 per month approx from now minus discount so like £70 per month without fully working it out in detail.

I was big into car audio for years and I was never truly satisfied and from that I’ve learnt to enjoy the hobby now and not chase those fractions. So the Rah is end game for me........until semper lol, they all have a purpose.

My Rah's are finally accepted at the post office and are now being "prepared by Sender" so they"LL hopefully be leaving the UK soon. I think for the R2 it did take exactly a week to arrive like someone else mentioned, so looks like us US purchasers will have them before Christmas luckily

Listening to the LZ A6mini on the train right now but the Rah will be in my ears soon as I stop my commute

Ive been using DX200 for some time now. Once I found the right Amp module for me, I couldn't be happier. Very much the reference DAP it claims to be.
I love a well tuned Sabre DAC chip. By all accounts the DX220 is a bit better so go for it !
I think you may be able to demo one at http://www.hifiheadphones.co.uk/ They are only 40 minutes or so outside of London? Not too far away anyway

I have seen their shop and really considering visiting it.
The only sabre i have listened to is v30 i had before. But that isnt dap obviously. I just liked the musicality quite a bit. if is something similar just refined and better technically in SQ i would definately go for it.
Did you try it with amp8?

 

[masterpfa]

Very impressed with the soundstage and separation of these. I did wonder if they could match the R2 as they are not as open backed but I think due to the detail these outperform the R2's here.

I had plans tonight but I'm just gonna listen to these all night. Absolutely loving them.

Same here
Plans out the window (OK it was only going to be watching football on the TV).

Sticking with the Black/Black for now and loving the kick with bass but still overall awesome soundstage.

FourPlay - Silver NathanEast Bass very much instrumental (pun intended) in their sound.

Roots Reggae with Burning Spear Live in Paris

Holy Cole - "Girl Talk" awesome double bass solo on track 6 "My Baby just cares for me"

Im happy with Amp 5. besides I cant afford to keep upgrading/changing to different Amps! Amp 5 is nicely balanced and seems to work/sound perfectly for me
From what I understand, when the Sabre chips are tuned well they are class leading. I have a TOTL desktop on loan at the moment with the latest Sabre Chips and it is sublime.

I'm on the West Coast of Canada and my last shipment from IMR was here in 6 days. My Cupids came in from London via the same RM service in 5 days so I'd say we're both in a good position to have them late next week. They've still got the weekend to travel and a few business days to get through customs.

Also curious on halcyon as well but i feel its going to more high focus than mid focus?

Just tried my RAH this evening after a late finish at work.

Straight out of the box with black/black, plugged into the Ifi Audio Idsd black label Dac and so far they sound very very good.

If my old RHA CL2 are anything to go by then the planer will need around 150-200 hours before it really starts singing.

 

[518969]

That’s my thinking too whether that pertains to be the truth about electrostats or not I can’t say.

Bob needs to just stop creating these mad creations to do all our bank accounts a favour. Make more Rah available as a permanent sole model and just call it (install dirk diggler neon lights when he reveals his porn name) ‘The end game IEM’

For real there may be more to come? They already sing lol

Both the Tin P1 and the oBravo Cupid came "alive" after 100+ hours. So, these early reports are very encouraging seeing as there's nowhere near that and they are being praised so positively.
Looks like we've got a winner here....

 

[518969]

I think the fact there has been barely any talk about filters, tips, cables and burn in speaks volumes as to how much of a winner they are.

 

[Infoseeker]

The nice thing about the Tin Hifi P1 is that they respond amazingly well to EQing. No need to wait for a minimal burn-in.

Just eq the bass and treble for a fun sound.
