  Will someone join me For the A73 review tour?

How did I miss this announcement? I'd definitely like to review the A73.
 
However, 4 days is waaaay too less time to accurately review an IEM(clean slate, at least 18 hours of listening, A/Bing, pictures, sources, burn-in-if required, AND a full time job). I wouldn't really be completely confident in my review, and would take a 4 day review from someone else with at least two hajmolas.
 
Depending on the number of people, maybe Hifinage could extend the review period to seven days or send two A73s on tour to two groups. That way the total time would remain the same but each reviewer would get sufficient time. I will put in a request to see if it is possible.

I think you guys will love the A73. 
 
Great controlled bass and warm, lush mids. I don't normally complain about treble, no one who has used the Tzar 350 would, but these did sound harsh to my ears initially. Luckily this seemed to be only when I used it with my phone. The A73 was perfectly well behaved when I ran it out of the Oppo HA-1.
 
The microphone is quite discrete and not really noticeable when in use which is nice. Accessories aren't bad given for what you for these, a few tips and a small shell case. As always I cant get a good seal, I'll run down to Jaben on Saturday and pick up a few pairs of their foam tips. I don't see fit issues for most users though, they have a nice small profile and and should sit comfortably in most ears. 
 
 I would strongly advice using multiple sources when you guys get a chance to review these IEMs, I've tried just 2 so far and the differences are quite noticeable. Will try auditioning them out on the Fiio X5ii and the Lotoo PAW 5000 this weekend and check if this holds true.
