Thanks everyone-- I am in no danger as there is no risk of fire where I'm staying.

Good to know that where you are staying is a safe distance from the fire. I feel so sorry for you and your „compatriots“ that you have to suffer from this terrible fire and its consequences.

Wishing you all the best, @Rockwell75

Raging fires across the lake from where I’m staying right now. Nobody injured so far, but. many evacuated.

Wow! Talk about scaring me. Glad to hear you said you are safe. We’ll put you up in NY if necessary!

If you can, please make sure the wind does not blow the smoke at us in NY! We have enough problems!!! 😎

Seriously though, stay safe.

Wow! That’s some dramatic picture!
Good luck to all Canadians living in the area to overcome this tragic situation!
You guys keep safe!

On a more joyful note, my wallet just got happily annihilated! :D

Just received them (Annihilator 2023) today!! :ksc75smile:

Is it me or this combo just looks like they were made for each other?! (Visually at least) :

This one is actually not too bad either… and obviously a step up sonically :

I’ll give some impressions later, but so far I’m thrilled! Well… I already knew what to expect after demoing them at the Shanghai show, but trying out peacefully at home in a quiet environment is another experience!
Great energetic and bold presentation with superb detail retrieval while keeping some sweetness! Awesome tuning from master Lee! :ear:

Cheers, :wink:

Julien.

Been a while since I’ve had a proper session with Turii Ti - they have me absolutely captivated again for the last hour… I love revisiting a set like this - still my GOAT DD!

634ears MIROAK-II Cocobolo arrived just in time for the weekend, the whole experience from the small details in the unboxing to how well built this IEM is perfect. Can clearly see the maker putting much thought into his craft here, I guess its often normal from Japanese makers having nice craftsmanship.
Sound is natural organic with some warmth, an allrounder. Will come back with more after having used them longer, for now straight out the box I love the MIROAK-II.

Enjoy the weekend folks
😁

Hi everyone, is there any predictions for the Elysian Acoustic Labs Dio???

I predict it will be a great weight-loss option for your wallet.

Oh, I thought you disliked Mentor…not anymore?

I’m not a big fan of its bass but I appreciate other things about it quite a lot and I have to say it has incredible synergy with the LP6.

Does anyone know if you buy a download from Qobus do you have to stay with the service to hear it because it's encoded or is it yours like it came from HD tracks? :rolling_eyes::rolling_eyes:
Yes, you download (not import) it and it is yours.
