Hello again.
Two pieces of news to share with you.
A good news and a bad news.
The good news is that Audiophonics has received my Moondrop VENUS headphones, and it's being prepared (I've just received an e-mail about it), after a two-week period for headphnones restocking.
EDIT: it has just been sent (last e-mail received just now).
The bad news (for my wallet) is that I've just ordered the VENUS' little brother, the PARA (for Paradise), from Moondrop's official website (via AliExpress) for 284 Euros incl. VAT (with a small discount).
For literary types, Marcel Proust has something to do with it.

It's a calculated gamble: at worst, it'll please a member of my family.
I could compare it (the PARA), on the same amp, with its big brother, the VENUS.
PS: sorry for the repetition of my posts, but you're all invited to participate in this thread, now open for these two promising Planar headphones from Moondrop, with the brand's current flagship, the VENUS, and its little brother, the PARA (for Paradise)
I'll wait for your impresions and comparisons between both of them I wish you prefer the Para
BTW, your wallet has never been happier, since you decided to jump backwards to mortal headphones prices... Go countercurrent in respect to most of the rest of the forum members...
Hi Terriero.
I am impatiently awaiting the arrival of PARA.
For the VENUS, I am absolutely not disappointed by this headphone; these are as of today my best headphones purchased, and the list is long (Stax SR-007 mk2, Stax SR-009, Audeze LCD-3F, Kennerton ODIN mk1, mk2, mk3 (Thridi ); Thror, Thekk, Magni, Sennheiser HD-800 (stock), HD-600, HD-650, HD-560S, HD-400 Pro and HD-58X); the performance of this high-end planar headphone is breathtaking and its medium is fabulous; the most beautiful and the best midrange ever heard, morever very well integrated with the bass (sufficient) and the treble of great finesse, non-prominent for my old ears (nb: decrease in my hearing above 10-12 KHz).
As for the PARA, whose arrival is imminent, everyone is raving about it, Crinacle in particular (see his video a few posts above).
I invite you to watch another video of the Moondrop PARA planar headphones, easily subtitled and translatable into your native language (French, Spanish, Italian, etc.); You should like it, Terriero.
From this video, it would appear that the PARA also shines in the midrange and sounds beautiful, while at the same time being a softer, less technical headphone (and more affordable) than the VENUS and HD-800 (more technical and brighter in the treble).
