If they join in on the general AliExpress sale from June 15-22, I'll jump on at least one of them. They've definitely garnered my interest, but I'm a bit gun shy at full price, even if their pricing is extremely competitive. Half a month's wait to see if they'll do a sale isn't too bad.

My main interests are in their:

GT12 12BA (Sonion 38&33 series for LF&MF, TWFK HF&UHF)
GD11 10BA+1DD Hybrid (unspecified drivers)
GT10 10BA (Sonion LF&MF, TWFK HF&UHF)
GD9 8BA+1DD Hybrid (unspecified drivers)
GD7B 6BA+1DD Hybrid (Sonion 33&23 series for LF, MF&HF, TWFK UHF)
GD5 4BA+1DD Hybrid (Sonion 33&23 series for LF, MF&HF, TWFK UHF)

Of those, I'm most likely to splurge on the GD7B thanks to the extremely reference tuned frequency response graph they showed, though the GT12 is also incredibly intriguing, as I've not heard anything with the Sonion 38 series drivers, so I'm curious how they perform.

They wont be joining the summer sales.

Well, guys...you know what I did.


Ordered the GD3A and the GD11 from GS Audio.

They better not be all bark and no bite

Good to know. Thanks for reaching out to them.

Dun mention it, theres a mis-translate of independence instead of impedance which is for the "S" series.

I am curious about your opinion of the GD3A. Keep us informed

No mention in the description what kind of BA it uses which makes me hesitate to jump on it.

HEY HEY HEY!

I recognize that email address. He/She's (not sure ) from Fearless Audio!

Might this brand actually be the "THE GREATEST THAT NO ONE HAS EVER HEARD OF UNTIL NOW?!"


The GD3A is being sold on Shopee (Fengru store) for about 150 USD. That's way overpriced so not worth it unless on AE.

FEARLESS???? If thats true, then I might have found a real treasure hoard.

lol

Yeah. FA themselves. Got surprised when I saw the reply from the store containing the email address.

I guess there's a huge mark-up when it's not the "OEM" itself that's selling the products as the GD3A is being sold on their "official" store for less than 80 USD

I just so wish that their OEM prices are available on Shopee

don’t do this. I really don’t need this but you keep tempting me

Well, at least wait for the summer sale in 2 weeks. I dont think I will have my order then but at least you can use coupons lol.

Yes, indeed a big mark up. Seems that the OEM price they give to other companies is 30% off from the prices you see on their store. (which is also the review discount I got.)

That is exactly what i was thinking

Hey guys! I just posted my first quick impressions of BGVP's upcoming 1DD+2BA+2EST tri-brid NE5 in the BGVP thread (link). Cheers!

I'll definitely be taking that advice. I'm loving the frequency response curve and the driver arrangement on the GD7B, but my finances are a bit unfortunate after some recent impulse purchases, so maybe by the time that sale rolls around, I'll be in a better place to drop some cash on a couple interesting sets. I've been wanting to check out the sound signature on an all BA unit, so this may be a good place to start. Quick question, though: what are your thoughts on Sonion's low-frequency drivers? I'm trying to decide if it would be worthwhile to sink money into their more premium offerings just to get the 38 series over the other options, but I haven't heard anything that uses their low-frequency BA drivers. Do you have any opinions on them?

I havent actually heard any Sonion BAs myself.

Which is another reason I am interested in their stuff. Since from what I heard from others, the Sonion BAs are a lot better for bass than the ones by knowles. So I do think it is worth getting their more premium lineup with those Sonion drivers.

Guys which will be a good pure copper or OCC cable under 100 USD? PAC480 I am already getting.

1. ISN GD4
2. DDHIFI BC120A
3. Linsoul LSC09

Aliexpress is not shipping to India hence I am limited to Penon and Linsoul. Shenzhenaudio does not have much collection. Otherwise my target was CEMA Electroacousti cables.
