Today
I just rent out many of my collections to a young prospective audiophile.
He is a trainee from Japan to my office.
Young Trainee:
”I love gadgets! In fact I’ve tried Sennheiser’s Momentum, AirPods Pro, Bose, and decided to buy Sony’s XM3 and running with LDAC“
AS:
“Good! Welcome to audio enthusiasts hobby, I will lend you some of my collections. Tell me which one did you feel that would cost few grants“
I rent out following without any pre-info or whatsoever:
-AuR Audio Neon Pro w/ NiceHCK flagship cable DragonScale (and stored in the leather case of Drafon Scale, it looks a lot more high-end than the stock round plain case of NP)
-SoundRhyme DTE500 w/Null Audio Ethos Mkv & SR8
for best EST tribrid and 14BA experience
-7Hz Timeless OG (obviously still the best technical planar)
-My PEQ’d Blessing 3 on LittleWhite (crazy air boost retuning)
For all rounder hybrid experience
-Truthear HEXA
for LCP bass and best cost performance experience
-Anole VX
for best resolution experience
-Audiosense DT200
for well tuned small composition simple 2BA exposure
-Mangird Tea OG
for highly dense mid-range
-L&P W2
for simple solution to get his song library to those IEMs
-Kato
For technical single DD experience
His feedback was
“I feel the blue box IEM has got the best resolution thus I feel that’s the most expensive one. “
“But all of them had different characters, and there was not single one that is clearly “inferior“ to another , well maybe if I had to chose one, the clear shell one in a huge carrying case.
I auditioned these IEMs with just one tracks, so I felt some IEMs could have a better match on other tracks”
”I actually liked the black round and flat IEMs a lot. It sounds lively”
”The square-ish one was not bad too, I was surprised to hear from you that IEM is one of the lowest priced among them“
I’m so happy that a young prospected audiophile can easily tell Anole VX over SR8 and Neon Pro, and was very accurate in telling DT200 is the lowest performing out of all.
Now my second audiophile growing batch will be niche ones. Only affordable range but all high performing.
