Next week a new exciting company is going to reveal their products in Japan. I came across them by accident one night
and I have been talking to them. While they have no plan to release their product overseas as of yet they have created an English webpage.

I hope to see the Acoustic Effect team members active on head-fi and I am looking forward to reading about them. There is no secret about my love to all audio companies from Japan and I for one Am really excited to see what they can deliver.

Reading the specs they sound similar to the Ortofon e-Q8, we just have to wait and see. The connectors seems to be the same one Fitear uses.

So, single armature with copper or silver cables?

 

[audionewbi]

Not sure, it might be a BAM driver just like FAD or ortofon.

 

[tomscy2000]

I like the FitEar/HD600/650/25-II pins...

 

[H20Fidelity]

Yes, the cable connection looks like it will be quite secure.
 
Will keep checking up here.

 

[audionewbi]

I hope one of the more senior head-fi member get in contact with them.

 

[tomscy2000]

They claim everything, from the driver unit to the cables, are made in Japan. That's fascinating (take this word at its face value, not necessarily its commonly positive connotation).

I have had much more successive success with Japan based audio than any other so I am going to take it as a positive thing.

Nice serial alliteration...

Hello audionewbi,
 
I'm also interested. Any updates?

 

 

[audionewbi]

None what so ever, outside Japan that is. Inside Japan they have so far gotten favourable acceptance.

Any news on these?
