Any comparison to the kb100?
In brief, the T2 Galaxy has a stronger bass performance, KB100 has a lusher midrange and the treble presentation on both is presented smoothly.

They were talking about orders made on Aliexpress and why, if you needed a refund, you should go through the Aliexpress refund process rather than accept a PayPal refund from the seller. It did have to do with Paypal fees and in some cases currency conversion fees.

With Penon it seems like your only other alternative would be to have them refund your card directly. I think when they refund you through paypay they put it through as though they were paying you for goods or services and thus you pay the fees.
That sounds terrible. The customer paying fees because they had an order cancelled. I had my $33 AS10 cancelled because apparently it 'sold out' before I bought it from Penon's website where it wasn't sold out. So now I'm losing more money due to paypal fees? I need to look into this.

Has anyone had their TFZ King Pro stock cable starting to turn green and black ?

I bought my King Pro about a month or so ago. I didn’t like the extremely thin stock cable that came with it, so I bought the TC-3 upgrade cable.

Today I wanted to see if their was any differences between both cables sound wise.

I take the stock cable out of the white TFZ storage case and, I see that it’s starting to turn green and black inside the cable.

This is not a Kinera Seed situation, where dye made them turn black on the outside of the cable.

On my king pro stock cable, it is clearly the metal inside thats turning green and black.

Has anyone elses king pro stock cable done this or am I just lucky ?

Any idea what did they change with King updated version? There is a sale rn:
https://penonaudio.com/tfz-king.html?search=tfz king

Actually i yearn to know the result but i went to my local audio store asking if they bringing the king updated version, what he say was its pretty much similar to king exclusive in SQ except -
to his opinion is that its a EQ-ed version of king exclusive. Having him said that, no product in hand to audition so i couldn't tell what the difference though :)

Penon has the No. 3 for sale on their site, $109. They look cool (to me, at least), and I'll be curious to see some reviews come in.
