The graph of the Nami isn't there..? Just noticed all of them have a dip at the 1k region too. Are the vocals far back?

Apart from the Donguri-Keyaki, I feel the vocals are in line with the instruments. Vocals on the Donguri-Kaede sound so natural. There is a bit of sharpness but it’s never sibilant. The Flat4-Nami has better soundstage but can sometimes sound wispy.

I have a Flat4-Sui Plus and Donguri-Keyaki Ti on the way so I’ll be measuring those too.

Thanks for the response.
I did try their site already. Their contract form has an error.
Let me try CDJapan.

@osiris1 I'm a happy CDJapan customer. I've ordered both the Flat-4 'Keyaki BALANCE' and the Flat-4 Kaede III from them, as well as a few CD orders, and the service/shipping/whatnot has been perfect.

I have not red a single review of the Flat 4 Kaede III with its biocelucose drivers and I was very much interested to try them out but was hesitating because of 0 feedback.

I assumed they are a failure at the end since it's been half a year they are in the market.

I owned the orignal Kaede and Aka Kaede II balanced.

Thanks. I have gotten hold of them directly. They replied me in English.

The one I want to try/buy is in stock at their store but their opening days next week might be a challenge. One can only pay cash at their store.

 

[PCWar]

So has anyone heard the Kaede III? Is it true that they are worse than Kaede II and original Kaedes as I am understanding?

They don't have Ocharaku unless by order or used.

You can get it straight from the source, in Setagaya, a short distance from Shinjuku or Shibuya. And you get tea and hospitality from the man himself.

Ocharaku is one of my favorite brand from JP. They are having a Japanese style sound signature, nice and sharp vocal, very suitable for JPop!
