Your buyer’s remorse is so palpable it’s incredible

I feel like I should be sending thoughts and prayers your way.

Nah I'm selling only cuz I'm a young man who should not be wasting his life away on audiophilia. But I will keep my Andros tho. I might buy the fourte back in the future though. They are that good. I'm glad I got to try it once though. I think it's something everyone should try at least once in their life, along with electrostatics.

Yeah, but to everyone who's on the fence. The fourtes are endgame. Before I bought it I was hesitant due to bad reviews and slander such as above. After I got it I was mindblown. Don't listen to the haters.

I see. My local distributor has the Noir available for sale now - I should make the trip over to try it sometime.

The original Fourte sounds a bit experimental, as if it’s still undergoing beta testing. Potential’s there, but execution falls short IMO. An IEM that resolves the original Fourte’s flaws would be pretty endgame worthy.

When you try the Noir also have a listen to it on 3.5mm unbalanced - I got mine a while back and for the first two weeks I was pretty underwhelmed listening to it on the stock 2.5mm balanced. I then tried it with a generic 3.5mm cable and I liked it so much I am probably going to sell my U18t soon

Which source, man? Doesn't matter if it's balanced or unbalanced, just a wire termination. Curious more about the source you used in this comparison?

The AK SR15. At first I thought I was placeboing but the difference was absolutely massive

I tried SR15 long time ago, don't recall it exactly but I think this entry level DAP had a warmer tonality, and usually their single ended out is even smoother. Probably, all together it's helping to smooth out the treble peaks.

I find it to be quite a mid/high centric DAP, or at least its single ended output is. The balanced is the smoother of the two, with loads of energy around the instruments and pretty intense lows. All in all the Noir sounded quite congested when using it in that setup.

The single ended is probably the most neutral I’ve tried in that price range with a large soundstage and a very high level of detail retrieval - amazing value in a very small, portable package

So is it the consensus here that noir is better than original fourte?

You just said a page—and six hours—ago that the Fourte couldn't be topped, or even approached. I think you owe it yourself to buy the Fourtissimo and verify. Why rely on the impressions of a bunch of yammering dopes on the Internet?

anyone try using the labor day coupon code? Doesn't seem to be working for me. Tried to buy a N8

We apologize for the inconvenience. We were having some trouble with the promo code, but it should be working now.

The N8 is included in the sale, we consider it to sit between the A6t and the A12t, so when we say A3e-A18t, we mean A3e, A4t, A6t, N8, A12t, and A18t.

Anyone been having difficulty reaching 64 Audio's refits/support teams recently? Sent three emails over the past two weeks to query on the status of my refit but have been unable to get any form of response from them. From past experiences, they typically reply within 1-2 business days, and their customer service has been absolutely fantastic - possibly the best I've ever experienced. Very uncharacteristic; not quite sure what's going on..

I also send them an email about my order this morning. Let's see what happens.

64 Audio might be getting slammed with orders now due to the sale, so that might be slowing down responses to you.
