Me too, JVC FD02 or Dunu Falcon right now are of interest. Maybe wait till my tax return in Feb. as I am cool, for now, to live with the B400, RT-1, AR3 and KPH30i for the time being. Am looking at DAP's though.

Do need to "discover" that IT01 cable. They said they found it so why can't we

Speaking of cables, I'm thinking of this hybrid 8-core one for my AR3...

$38 with e-packet shipping.

I own this thing. Excellent value. Use it on my MSR7, and ON2s I liked it so much I bought another for my DT1990 Pros for portable use.

Shanling M3s!! Highly recommended.

Also own one of these

This interconnect cost $30 on amazon. Another excellent values.

Dang fellas. It seems manufacturers been hiding all their goodies till Holidays. Tis is the time to spend. These are now available. Heard the standard version at Can Jam and was impressed with the clarity and detail of these but now these are out.
@ $140 bucks. Fiio has limited quantities of these bad boys. Reference level tuning for $140.

I need a 2nd job so I can buy every new item out from today till the end of the year. EVERYTHING that is coming out looks good to me. Lol.!!

Tell me about it. I actually got a second job and now I try to act all mature while at the same time I keep telling myself "You work so hard. You deserve to buy this!"

Wait, this is the PRO not the LTD so why would FiiO have limited amount of the PRO?

Of course that begs the question that if the LTD improves on this further than there is room for improvement? The original peaky high end the of standard F9 was not great. Worse armature but that should have less detail and extension than a TWFK but that doesn't mean it couldn't be tuned without such a peaky high end. So, now a TWFK which is a challenge to tune well and incorporate in a hybrid we should expect what after the tuning of the first? Love the idea of a well implemented dynamic and TWFK set-up but this isn't one I'd buy till it is proven out. Possibly a real good one or a "not quite" and the LTD is the one to get and the only one done truly right.

Is there a Black Friday thread ?

 

[doctorjazz]

So far, just the Deals Thread afaik. There was some discussion there about whether to start one, last I saw they were going to keep it there.

NiceHCK 8 core looks nice for $30(single crystal copper plated silver) and has no formed or memory wire over ear portion...

Would look good on the B400 and match well with the stainless look of the new JVC's.

So, that's 24295 yen or $212 US for a bluetooth cable?

Looks like the cable that comes with this 1dd 1ba hybrid . CTZ Soul .

The newer BAs are supposed to smooth out the 7K peak. Is what I gather from reading the thread. The LTD using more premium materials supposed to yield a higher sound. I bet these new Pro versions are what the F9 was supposed to be. In any case I am liking that FR of these. I have no doubt they improved the sound even more than their standard F9. When I heard them at can jam they didn't sound as peaky as reported. But then I didnt get to really hear them for extended periods.

I look forward to reading reviews of all the new earphones and we will see what is what.

True and woo-takeyourmoney-easy is charging $45 for the cable alone and $59 for the CTZ with the cable.
$49 here for both...https://www.aliexpress.com/item/CTZ...lgo_pvid=21171023-a4fc-4756-b99f-d9fb2aabf7a8
Seems like that cable is a bit pricey on it's own even for $30.

If you point out how greedy they are being and show a lesser price listing they mostly adjust the price a bit.

So my recent purchases from ALiexpress is taking so damn long. With all the newness coming out. I would rather cancel my order of the SD7 and go with something new.

I still had 5 days or so before they shipped so I went ahead and cancelled my order. Which leaves me some funds to spend on something new. What to get? Hmm.

I am gonna keep the cable orders and my RT1s however.

The ibasso most definitely!!
