How much more bass did you notice compared to the u12t? And which part of bass (sub, mid, high) if you could pinpoint that?

Around 20-60Hz by my reckoning is where most of the increase is, and slopes off til around 100Hz? Mind you, when I tested the U12t the shop gave me some wide-bore tips which dampened the bass by a bit. Personally don't think treble was changed all that much.

-----------------------------------
SO, as requested, a shot of the A12t's. Got the CF faceplate and charcoal translucent shell.



Looks like I dodged a bullet when buying - courtesy of the wonderful economy we're all in, these increased from $3300 AUD to $4000 AUD. Daaaaamn...................

Nice pics! Love the dark-ish look. I wonder how much testing with different tips changed the way we perceived the u12t. Mine were relatively narrow bore, will write my comparison notes once I get mine

Looks great! Glad you're enjoying them.

I reckon quite a bit, considering that I actually in some ways prefer the M15 over the M20. That being said, it's a subtle change, not a 'damn, all the bass is gone'.

About the connectors, who got a flush connector? I thought they were going to give me a recessed connector, but I got a flush one instead.

Mine are recessed. Might be the shape of our ears require different connectors?

Probably. In a way, glad I got flush because it turns out the cable I got doesn't fit the recessed.

Mine should be arriving late next week! As soon as it does I’ll cook up a review

I should have had mine already with the 6 day rush build but I think the coronavirus has 64audio behind. Not even getting responses to emails anymore. Hopefully the team is staying safe.

they’re closing down for 2 weeks as of Saturday I think - I hope they manage to get yours out on time

Just gave them a call. No mention of any closings. He said they’re working hard to push out as many orders as possible. Hopefully mine get assembled and shipped, but in times like this it’s important to see the bigger picture. Prayers for everyone’s safety

I’m on the 8th business day so I should have had them yesterday (overnight shipping), regardless, I’m sure they’ll be worth the wait.
