Head-Fier
Super Sound Korea [SSK] went at COEX Convention Center in Seoul, South Korea from November 24th to 25th. This event was held by 3 companies (Bugs Music, Premium Headphone Guide Korea, The Star Asia). In last year, Headphone Festival 2016 [HEFE], which was the exclusive sponsor of “Premium headphone guide Korea” achieved visit rate nearly three times less than this time. South Korea has been in Head-fi audio-show business for only three years. This year's event showed unexpected results to me. Please check the 47 pictures below.

'Bakoon' SCA-7500K Headphone Amplifier
& 'Fostex' TH900v2
This combination is one of my favorites.
Very detailed mid-range and unique treble.
'Acoustic Research' AR-M200
It contains 4.4mm BAL terminal and showed powerful output.
Its sound is very like 'American theater oldy style'.
I like it pretty much.
'Acoustic Research' AR-H1
I liked its mid and bass details.
Umm well..
It is still little bit small for me...hahaha
(don't care.. mine is extremely big)
'Acoustic Research' AR-E10
If you see its package contains...
"Oh. WOW~"
'EM-Audio' EM6w
It was focused on mid and bass. This is kinda upgrade version of EM2.
But, much better performance on treble.
'Acoustune' proto vacuum tube headphone Amp
with 4.4mm Pentaconn terminal
I tried it with HS1501au iem...
The combination presents very claim harmonics and stable bass.
'Advanced Sound' Prototype iem
There were 3 kinds of protos. I liked its detailed appearance and also its midrange sound tune.
'Advanced Sound' S2000
If you listen it first and heard its price...
Probably it shocks you.
'Advanced Sound' Proto Custom-fit iem
'Earnine' EN210

'64Audio' Tia Trio

I like them!
'JH audio' Tri-fi v2
This is kinda like 'UE triple-fi 10 pro' the old one...
Interesting~
'Etymotic Research'
I tried both of ER3 series. Only I can say is..
"Etymotic is always Etymotic. Nice job."
'MeeAudio'
'Simgot' EM3
This sounds was pretty nicer than EM5 for me.
It presented balanced and deep sound feature.
'Simgot' ET1000 Planar diaphragm Headphone
It was really easy to drive with portable audio devices and sounds pretty wide dynamic range.
