Meze Audio’s newest single-DD IEM - ADVAR
Aug 23, 2022 at 4:02 PM Post #302 of 518
I would say relative to the few months Advar is on the market, there are very few on classifieds. I had the tour unit for 10 days, and it certainly convinced me of the need to buy a set at some point! Excellent IEM.

Would you believe that after all the tip rolling I’m back to the FA tips.
That’s where I’ve landed, ordered a backup set as well (shame I can only get the 5 size tip set here!)

Mine is UGLY0154 and I have the same plain black box.

What's wrong with Meze to start their serial# like this? :ksc75smile:
Guess they've a weird sense of humor. ^^

I have been waiting to see if anyone notices this :beyersmile: The first time I detached the cable, I was like “cool, letters … wait, UGLY?”.

To be fair, my wife said these IEMs look like ceramic kitchenware.

There is a little story behind the UGLY prefix, check it out HERE.

4 years of R&D? Mad respect for Meze. Antonio and the team have succeeded in my opinion. Listening to Goldberg Variations with Advar is one of the most memorable experience with head-fi gear for me in a while. Now I need to find a gap in the collection for it. Hopefully by then, Meze already has a distributor in Australia.

Antonio is a very persistent designer, he really wants his product to look and works perfectly fine before he endorses it for sales and marketing. Sometime we wish he can be more "reasonable" from business perspective, but it never works out that way in Meze. Take me a while to tune my working pattern when I couldn't put a deadline on my product roadmap.

Well I love his attitude towards it. The products that come out of it really speak for themselves.

A meze product Roadmap would be so helpfull at times. Looking forward to the next announcements.

Given how much I love the Advar I really need to try some full sized Meze!

I’ve been using Advars with Mojo2 since both became available. I’m a happy listener with two qualifications:

1. Mojo2 alllows some equalization, and I needed this to tame the treble.

2. I’ve found Advars especially enjoyable for jazz and for small chamber groups. But when orchestral texture gets thick, they don’t sort out and position the instruments very well (it’s not Mojo’s fault).

So for classical, I agree with above comments that they’re outstanding for solos like Goldberg Variations. But I have to go back to my desktop system to enjoy layered orchestral works.

Still getting constantly amazed/blown away by these - I haven't listened to Disturbed for quite some time but Indestructible came on in a track radio on Tidal and I've never heard it sound so good, had me doing air drums which I can generally restrain myself from lol:metal:
