as I eagerly await my imannis I must say as I listen to my sr1a what a marvel it is...
I think Hifiman have a different house sound to Raal or Caldera or any other headphones, it's special in its own right but not necessarily better.The susvara's successor should not be long from what I have read.
Regularly compared to RAAL's Immanis, it seems unthinkable that Hifiman does not react...
The competition will be tough and will make you salivate.
The meeting on June 15/16 in Lyon with, in addition, the stax 9000 and the shangri senior will be a real test...and will be grandiose!
Personally I never judge a helmet but a system, it's not going to be easy.
I sold my stax 9000....just in case!
Aleksandar R are you trembling? I understand that not.
Thank you for being there for our pleasure.
Sincerely
Totally agree with you that you should never judge the headphone, it’s the system chain that is playing the music. Alex will never and has no need to ‘tremble’; the ribbon drivers are not inferior to any other technology. It’s simply a question of preferences and what fires your emotional response to music. It took my brain more than 2 days to accept what the SR-1b was doing to the sound I was hearing; people who have never experienced the ribbon drivers don’t normally have this much time for their brains to adjust. But once it happens there is no other transducer that gives so much realism to the experience. Debatable I know, but that’s my experience right now.The susvara's successor should not be long from what I have read.

nothing to tremble about there are a bunch of TOTL headphones available all outstanding depending on your subjective desires....I think Hifiman have a different house sound to Raal or Caldera or any other headphones, it's special in its own right but not necessarily better.
So I guess if the presentation of Hifiman is important to you, go for it, but if Detail, Speed, Dynamics, Air and being True to the Recording, is important to you you'd probably like Raal better.
I doubt that Aleksandar is trembling, he feels comfortable with his product, and he should be, they are great headphones.
Fun, totally unrelated story.... in mid-2019 I went to the Wempe Rolex boutique on 5th Avenue and put down a deposit on a Datejust 41. Several months later COVID happened and everything went mad, and then quite coincidentally (or perhaps not at all?) my Rolex arrived gift-wrapped on my exact birthday in May 2020. Here's hoping you have the same luck!Sounds good! Fingers crossed that I shall receive my Immanis during my birthday month of June.
Correct. And with the VM1A is on even another level.as I eagerly await my imannis I must say as I listen to my sr1a what a marvel it is...
Nice story. And thanks for the thought.Fun, totally unrelated story.... in mid-2019 I went to the Wempe Rolex boutique on 5th Avenue and put down a deposit on a Datejust 41.

Hmm...I instantly thought of the past times and the country where I lived (Aleksandar, too, he would know what I am talking about ).Fun, totally unrelated story
Everyone’s just waiting for that call/text from Danny…This thread seems to have slowed down it seems
Demand outweighing supply I think...Probably quite a few of us waiting to get them on our ears to hear for ourselves.This thread seems to have slowed down it seems
