Sasha went above and beyond to fulfil my other capricious order when I asked for a different kind of wood which obviously meant more hassle for him. He also told me he wanted to take a break and get some rest. I was okay to wait. But then I was surprised to find out he actually was able to build my headphone right before the end of the year. This is the kind of service Sasha provides.
Hello,
It's a risk if you havent auditioned this headphone and the purchase decision is mainly made based on the feedback from other people and considering that it's not returnable if you are not satisfied with it. And of course there is a chance there might be something you don't like. For example, the size and weight can be a deal breaker even though the general consensus here is that the headphone is comfortable. Given the relatively low price and many positive reviews, I would say it's not a huge risk. But it's definitely something to keep in mind.Hello,
I have been looking for a Headphone for a long time, either too expensive, too this or that, nothing would seem to excite me enough to take the plunge.
Just less than a hour ago, I read a post from Arielext on another thread which caught my attention. So, inevitably, ended here, read a few pages and just made my order.
Go figure! No explanation, I just felt this was it. And this after deciding that I wouldn´t get more gear from places that would lead me to deal with Customs in my Country (and taxes and fees). I guess it just starts counting from now on!
Anyway, I believe I'm officially part of this small (but growing) family, and now I just have to savor this waiting, but exciting pre-owning time.
Cheers.
Right said, and I would also consider that there are so many cables' producers that It could be an unecessary further competition.
Greetings AlienHP, curious, have you any experience or heard on comparing the 16,45, and se? I'm looking forward to your follow up on the Sash Tres...Thx!
My Sash Tres SE has arrived too. It took about 3 weeks to deliver. My first impression is that it is more detailed and impactful than the previous models. There is more presence in the treble area. It appears more prominent. The bass is punchier and more distinct. I love how it performs with the drums and acoustic and bass guitars. The mids are great as always. The singer's voice is accurate and pleasant. Overall, I feel like there is more clarity and liveliness. The 45 ohm version seems more laid back and more forgiving in comparison. But because of that, the 45s are probably less fatiguing during long listening sessions. The SE is definitely easier to drive as there is more sensitivity. It is heavier, but not significantly. The weight is tolerable but it would probably be my only gripe. The zebrano wood looks amazing. I may write a more detailed review after the honey moon period is over.
One of the songs I listened to was Kiss by Michelle Gurevich. I think it illustrated how well the SE performs.

Hello there
I've had all 3 models. The light blue 45 ohm Sash Tres was the first model I bought. I was immediately impressed by its amazing mid range and overall balanced tonality compared to my two dynamic driver headphones (the old Beyerdynamic DT 770 and the Kennerton GH50 MK2 which I sold recently). However, I thought my dynamic driver headphones had way more bass quantity and punch. Then I wanted to try the 16 ohm model which was supposed to be warmer. But I thought it was very similar to the 45 ohm model. Maybe it was a bit more aggressive and slightly less refined. Maybe it had to do with the difference of amp power required to drive them. Then the SE came and it was a different animal. I only had it for a very short period of time because I gave it to my dad. Just to provide some context, it's usually hard to impress my dad and he doesn't really listen to headphones. He prefers his own DIY open back speakers and tube amplifiers that he built himself. But he was impressed with all of the Sash Tres models. Only he wanted to keep the SE mainly because it was most sensitive and even his old Cowon D2 could drive it. Then I sold the 16 ohm model because I thought it was redundant and ordered another SE for myself. I am expecting it to be delivered soon. As for sound, from my memory, I thought the SE was a big improvement in all aspects. For example, I felt like it was more detailed and punchier while keeping it's signature ability to transform the audio signal into sound waves. But I will need to refresh my memory and reevaluate once I receive my SE.
I haven't experienced any fees.
Thank you for that info. I appreciate that. Deciding between the 16,45,se and the SJY Moonlight trying to determine which one has the sound signature I'm looking for (seems like the 45), and the one that's most comfortable and somewhat easy to drive. Thx!Hello there
Also, there doesn't seem to be a lot of information on the 16: sound signature, easy/hard to drive comfort levels etc. Maybe your experience could help me in that.
I think there is a fair amount of information about it here on the forum. Out of the three models, the 45 ohm model is the hardest to drive, and the SE is the easiest to drive. They all share the same comfort level. The sound signature of the 16s is very similar to the 45s in my opinion. But I sold the 16s and kept the 45s. Somehow, I felt like it had a better synergy with my Violectric V550. The SE treble felt more accentuated than the other two. I don't know much about the SJY Moonlight and how it compares. I am curious myself.
