Oh, I see, my apologies for misunderstanding.

Ok, thank you. I get it.

I would also encourage everyone to be a bit more patient. If those things happen, do not go crying instantly; and report.
Okay, I am a bit joking now, but there is truth there. People are very sensitive. People should practice tolerance more.
I personally think that multi-quoting is, to politely say, not likeable for me.
I avoid that as much as possible. I would rather not comment or skip several comments and comment on one.
Yes, sometimes I use multi-quoting to follow the rule, but I don't like it.
It doesn't seem to be very polite to me, almost rude and frantic.

But now I know what you mean.

Cheers!

This piece sounds wonderful on the ST7, there is some very deep but subtle sub bass and the ST7 does it beautifully with a lovely timbre on the keyboards:

Any in here who has bought the new Moondrop Evo?
And is happy or got any complaints?

Love the Letshuoer Cadenza4 due to sound and comfort, and just cheap enough so I can use it at work. Thinking it would pair perfect with the Evo, both in design and as a portable solution.




Right now I use the cabled IEMs mostly in the car/office or during breaks. And stick to tws when out physically working.

I was about to say I have heard good things about the ifi GO pod but it’s like 400 bucks lol nvm!

What’s so special about Sony players? I’ve never owned one.

Sony sources usually are smooth and buttery as their house sound.

Now that you have heard em, has the final tuning varied from canjam? Wrt lushness.


And what about ba timbre. More i hear dds, be it the wondrous Miroak-ii or even cheapie analogue Cca Trio, ba timbre nags me a touch even on good sets like P8. Takes a while to get used to. Not saying it's not natural etc, could be just what my ears like tonally.

The can jam beta unit of the Explorer was less bassy. but then that was a noisy show room floor with no the best isolation so take it with a pinch of salt.

This final production unit is way bassier.

The next time you might hear from me buying new sets will most likely be at Christmas? Until then, I'll enjoy the flurry of sets I recently bought in the budget realm and the Project M, which while at the lower end of mid-fi, ended up costing me less than the OD200.

Bro just a few days ago you promised not to buy any more IEMs, haha now I don't log on for 1.5 days and see the damage to your wallets!!!

Haha but jokes aside, look forward to all the impressions of the new shinies coming in the mail!!

Of your new purchases what is the most you look forward to, the Project M?
Knowing you prefer brighter signatures I think that might be up your alley.

I was hoping that a stitch in time would save nine.

I read that as "a snitch in time would save nine."

No doubt. It’s Apple’s doing. But in the last decade or so Apple has really lost a lot of their design edge. They’ve fallen back on iteration and shied away from anything that pushes the boundaries. It’s similar to what happened to the DSLR market. Canon and Nikon pro DSLR cameras all look like blobs now. Featureless blobs.

No coincidence Apple's vanguard designs stopped when chief designer Jony Ive left the company in 2019. He was the leading design influence of the iMac, iPod, iPhone, iPod, MacBook and iOS.

Just a minor player in the company ...

I don't doubt that the Conch is very good (I am soon writing a review) but it is $35. The JD1 is 14.99 or 19.99 with the USB DAC cable.

I think the Conch is very good for the price personally. It's a bit bright for me but there's a ton of value there.

I'm not a fan of that sound signature is all LOL Not you're style. You're great. That type of signature is the opposite of the tuning I enjoy. I like sunshine, air, and fluffy clouds! Vampires are not my thing! LOL

Give me dark and sultry over bright and cheery any day! I'd live in a basement if I could. Who needs sunshine?

Thread Courtesy Reminder

If you happen to have multiple posts that you would like to reply to, please remember that we have a multi-quote feature. You can use the +Quote buttons to select all of the posts that you'd like to reply to, then insert those quotes into a single post at the end. This will cut down on the number of posts that everybody needs to catch up on when they revisit the thread. Thanks!

Oh, I see, my apologies for misunderstanding.

Basically, the complaints center around some members' habits of making many short posts, all in a row, over a relatively short period of time. While there is no hard rule against this, I can sympathize with the complaints and understand how irritating this can be. And so, I simply wanted to remind everybody that multiquotes are possible. I didn't even ask people to use that feature, just pointed out that it exists, and explained what it does.

I think it's important for us to remember that some members receive email notifications of new posts -- and having to repeatedly check back here every few minutes after yet another email can get tiring over time.

I know EXACTLY who you're talking about

I was about to say I have heard good things about the ifi GO pod but it’s like 400 bucks lol nvm!

I have one for review now but it's just taking a backseat to the ZMF Caldera and Atrium Closed at the moment. I will get around to reviewing it soon enough though. I want to pair it up with the DaVinci when it comes in.

Love the message on the mug, dude. As the lead singer in two bands, I need that mug!

Sony sources usually are smooth and buttery as their house sound.

So like their headphones? I am familiar. Was a fan of the XB500 monsters back in the day, though the sheer amount of bass is vomit inducing, it was still tight sounding. I also recall demoing the 1R in stores and it had that smooth bass and mids, but the treble peak killed it.

 

[Jmop]

Not saying the Sony DAPs are necessarily colored, just referring to that texturing of the sound.

I think my Aful Explorer just shipped, which I'm very excited about!

Also, it sounds like I'll get the opportunity to try the Celest Wyvern Abyss? Has anyone had a chance to try this or the previous version at a show or anything? Gorgeous shell as usual from Celest, and I'm guessing it'll be priced at <50$ with that single DD? I could be wrong.

Getting email notifications and even just website notifications can be annoying with popular threads.

Instead of subscribing to threads like this one, I just create a web browser favorite/bookmark with "/unread" at the end of the URL. Every time I click the Discovery bookmark, it'll bring me to the oldest 'unread' post.

Btw, I hope sharing this doesn't skew head-fi metrics for thread subscriptions lol.

 

[Leonarfd]

any info on the battery life? i read the website but might have missed it

Haven't read any about it yet, I'll do some research about it later today and maybe ordering.

I was about to say I have heard good things about the ifi GO pod but it’s like 400 bucks lol nvm!

They are good, and sound good. Was also more comfortable than what I would expect.
Just that price is a little on the high side, had it on loan for a weekend.

Easier to justify a purchase with the Moondrop being cheaper than ifi, if quality is alright

Just a minor player in the company ...

The current CEO places no value on design. He put an operations manager in charge of Apple’s design efforts and hired the guy who invented the E-Trade baby to put in charge of Apple’s ad campaigns. Design has been completely devalued at Apple and the result is these lifeless, featureless and boring designs. Minimalist design doesn’t have to be lifeless, featureless and boring but that is what you’ll get when you alienate world class designers.
