I think I've mentioned before that I didn't like much of electronic music, and alluded to why I don't like (pumped at full volume in a dinky friend's car is a sure-fire way to make me hate it automagically). Well, 4 years since that, this is what I've been listening to lately:

I still have no idea what I genre this is..... but I fudging love it!

EDIT: Wish I have a bassy headphone for this. I guess it's time for a M100 then?

Beginning song sounds like pop-house.

Here is more, though a bit more traditional:

Lol, some?  Was there anything other than that in the video?

 
It's all about the music.

 
If you say so.

Wait, I thought that was K-Pop in the car?

That was two years ago.

By the way, MuppetFace, are you not suppose to get some 1plus2s soon ?

 
 
The listening tour pair is currently on its way to me. Should be here by early next week, if I had to guess this weekend according to tracking.

Firstly, apologies to Romy and your thread.....
 
I wanted to clarify a few things about Tralucent, since posts were made here and I am hoping it doesn't go against the rules of Head Fi.
 
Since Tralucent made strides to take a different direction late last year. I invested heavily vertically to ensure production and lessen dependency on others. RankoAudio is such a partnership and our R&D platform. The actual website of Ranko showcases the research and development that we are doing or done. There is far more to Tralucent that meets the eye. The 1plus2 is a wholly researched and designed IEM and shares no common traits with others besides it being a 1 Dynamic Driver plus 2 BA drivers.........
 
PM me if further information is required.

No worries, Gavin! Thanks for your post.

I gotta say, I'm liking the FAD Heaven C. (Hope James sees this).
 
Sure, its coloured. Real coloured. It's all thick and throaty and the sound reminds me of honey. It has this rich, rich mid-band emphasis and a surprising bass kick (doubly so considering that it's a single BA earphone, it hardly sounds like one). It totally makes the XBA-1 look sheepish as a single BA. For some music it doesn't quite pull it together, just sounding gooey. Other times its nice, mellow but authoritative. Despite the runaround with the trade I'm very happy with it.
 
I keep also switching between that and the XBA-40. (The CKN70 doesn't really draw me anymore and after I do my review of them they'll pop up on the FS forum). The XBA-40 actually has decent timbre, which is hilarious given what an unnatural mess the XBA-4 was. It's polite and subdued compared to the FAD. Everything is deliberate and tight compared to the euphony of the Heaven C. When there is bass though, the superwoofer just starts selling tickets to the gunshow. It may have my favourite bass note of anything I've owned or heard (except for the LCD-2). It's tight and fast bass that just digs into the ear canal. <3 <3 <3

Wait IIRC Tralucent Audio is based in Australia isnt it?

To my knowledge they are based not only in Australia but in China (and the US as well under Ranko Audio.)

BTW, did you guys notice that FAD came out with a new Heaven V? The "aging" version is pretty cool...

Sonic Youth's Rather Ripped is a good album. Wish the recording was better.

There's an inverse correlation between how good the music is on any SY album and how good the recording quality is. Daydream Nation is the exception.
