isn't the a8 being replaced with the n8t? or is the a8 still a thing?

Well, the new Tia line isn't officially released yet apart from the A12t, so the N8t has yet to take the A8's place.

makes sense, i think @taki should be patient and wait for everything to be released

True, but A8 is still the most bassier IEM in 64 audio lineup, untill n8t is released at least.
I don't know the price of n8t or the sound quality so thats why I am thinking to get more safe option A8.

The N8t is listed on Music Sanctuary's website at an estimated MSRP of S$2499 at release, which translates to about $1700-1800 USD. The A8 is a great IEM nonetheless; one that I've considered getting for months. Don't worry about new releases, enjoy your new IEM.

was it brave or stupid to get solid black shells? hmm...

I like black shells! Also the N8t is replacing the a8...i’d wait a little and get it.

I had an order in at 64 audio and it was $1500 for the N8t

Ah, it looks like the S$2499 price on Music Sanctuary's site is taking into account international premiums, etc. That's a great price for the N8t IMO.

Please can anyone compare A8 with SE846, in terms of bass and sound quality...
I am ordering A8 soon and I have SE846 currently, should I go for it or there is no much sound quality difference.
I tried to search the thread for such comparison but I did not find.

Sorry, I just reread your post and it turns out you haven't ordered the A8 yet. In that case, I'd suggest you wait for the N8t. Compared to the A8, you get better technical performance - i.e. clarity, resolution, stage stability, etc. - due to the Tia driver. The dynamic driver on the N8t versus the BA's on the A8 also give it a more realistic and physical sense of slam. So, honestly, I'd suggest you wait for the N8t.

Thank you for your reply.
Any information about the price?

@taki yeah, I think this as well. I've heard from some people that the a8 isn't particularly good technically. it's meant for very specific people

indeed they look great, but seeing people pictures of all those drivers in their transparent shells, I guess I'll be getting transparent shells next time

I mentioned a dealer's estimated MSRP twice and the guy above me just commented that he ordered it for $1500.

Is that just a pre-order? Did they give you an ETA on release?

 

[ceeloChamp]

Not shipping until May, I had placed an order 2.5 months ago when they told me that. I decided I couldn’t wait and I wanted the A12t so I ended up switching my order.

My friend was told @ NAAM that it would cost $1500 as well.

When I saw 64 Audio at Axpona last weekend, they told me the N8t had been pushed back until "They are hoping June" but they aren't giving a solid date. I think he mentioned they ran into a couple issues they had to work out. I remember him also mentioning they were canceling the A3t because I think he said it was too high of a performance to the price if I remember correctly. They had a universal of the N8t and I got to try it out, it sounded great.

Wait, so they cancelled an IEM because its performance for the price was too high?
