The Altmann Tera Player - Thread

[Ruben123]

Oh dang, I almost forgot audiophiles LOVE distortion!! Rules to feed BAs a lowest-as-possible output impedance instantly dont count anymore when spending lots of money

 

[Kiats]

Yes, MusicDay, some poor trolls spend their lives trying to ruin the joy they do not or cannot understand. That's why they haunt these corridors which they claim to despise and yet they have nowhere else to go. Because the emptiness and silence bedevils them so.

 

[Kiats]

I will still like to know more about the Tera Player and your Plus5 especially they are fully burned in by now,if that exists for BA drivers.Is this best combo you ever heard?
Thank you Kiats,you are always a great help.

No worries, MusicDay. I've been a bit tied up but I'll give the plus5 a listen vs the 2.2 and let you know my thoughts. Hopefully, Spkrs01 does manage to make it up to the London Canjam and you get an opportunity to audition the IEMs plugged into your own Tera Player.

Lol call me a troll if you want but I can assure you I am not one of them. I criticise the product which is a scientific nightmare for BA drivers and what you do then, is because you don't understand what is so bad at it, is criticising me for telling some facts. Go have fun with your Tera, musical pleasure is the most important thing of this hobby after all just don't say that I'm a troll because I have not heard the product. Most people here on the forum don't own the product they're talking about.

MusicDay, do you hear that echo...?

To give Tera justice, it pairs perfectly with my Tralucent Ref. 1 even though it has 2 BA units inside.  It was close to the performance of Ak240 with less definition on sound stage, details (to which I think these aspects have nothing to do with the high impedance roll off at both ends only the player inherited sound signature).  
 
Kiats could share more with you, especially the BA based Tralucent P5, on his impressions as he has wast arsenal of headfi gears.

 

[MikePortnoy]

I would say that the Tera doesn't pair excellent with all BA based monitors. However, some of them perform really good with the Tera. For example, I tried Westone ES60, HUM Pristine, Rhapsodio Solar and Spiral Ear SE5 on it. They all have good matching. Perhaps, SE5 needs some brightness in the treble region.
 
On the other hand, EE Zeus and Perfect Seal AR6 doesn't perform so good. SA-43 needs more power.

MusicDay, do you hear that echo...?

I hear it,but doesn't bother me.I agree to judge a product based onrice,design,features,but please don't go near about the sound quality if you have never heard it.
All trustworthy Headfi members agree that Tera sounds great without any bass roll off with Tralucent IEMs but Ruben doesn't want to accept it.
They are not liers as they respected members.
Ruben try to understand that is not all about theory,is also about synergy and some BA have it plenty with the Tera Player.

I agree with some of what you said, but to come in this thread and bash the Tera Player isn't the right thing to do. Especially since you've yet to hear it (correct me if I'm wrong)?

Not only is that trolling, you are breaking forum rules. Plus, attempting to bait Musicday, who happens to love his player isn't very nice. Let the guy enjoy his music player in peace. It's really not cool.

Musicday has done nothing but enjoy his music, live and let live bro.

Heheh! I should edit that inventory list. Some of them have moved on to friends...

The trinity that usually travels with me are the Tera Player, LPG and the Paw5K. All with their own distinctive charms.

Not really, Warrior1975. All get time on the rotation.
