Sorry I do not know who to ask but how long before I will be able to audit the kit? I may have plans for Christimas, I need to plan ahead. Thank you.

Estimating Arrival
Anyone wanting to estimate when they will receive the kit can do so by:

1. Counting Participants: Count the participants remaining before your turn.
2. Divide by 2: Divide the remaining participants by 2 as there are two kits.
3. Multiply by 10 Days: There is a 7 day audition and roughly 3 days mail time until receipt for a 10 day period per participant.

The result will give you a rough estimate of when you can expect to see the kit arrive. However, there are any number of things that can affect this estimate so it is truly a rough estimate.

Finally getting around to posting some 64 Audio Tia Forte impressions:

Vs Andromeda

Andromeda is brighter, crisper. Both have excellent/realistic treble decay and timbre. Forte bass quantity is larger. resulting in a thicker/richer, fuller bass with better texturing. Forte feels overall further away from listener compared to Andromeda, yet Forte presents vocals more forward in the mix. Andromeda feels noticeably wider left to right, while Forte has a stronger center image, but both feel excellently proportioned. The more focused center image of Forte lifts vocals out for a slightly cleaner, more dimensional experience.


Vs ProPhile-8 (with switches off)

PP8 bass has similar fullness as the Tia but is less in quantity and warmth. Bass texturing is more overt in the Tia Forte. The W shaped response of the Forte is more evident when comparing with the more even and linear PP8. Treble sparkle is much more forward and overall brighter with the Forte. Both have similar forward projection of vocals but the Forte once again puts more focus on separating the center image from the extremities. The PP8 sounds more in-head in direct comparison to the more dimensional sounding Forte.


Nit Picks

1. Cable has too much memory effect, holding on to the shape it was last stored.
2. Nozzle is too smooth and should have a bulge near the opening to better hold tips.
3. Tip selection is minimal; stock silicone tips aren’t very good
4. Would like to see 64 Audio develop a more ergonomic shape, like InEar, for the money
5. Would also like to see more premium finishing for the money.
6. Requires deeper fit to control treble. Shallow fit accentuates treble peaks becoming too U shaped at the extremities.

Hi guys, just a quick update on the East Tour Kit. I was supposed to be shipping the kit to @wormsdriver tomorrow. But the damaged Fourte has been sent to 64Audio for repair. I will be shipping the kit to wormsdriver as soon as I receive the Fourte back from the repair in a couple of days.

Agreed, who needs it when you have A18!

Hey, is there a support group for previous tour participants who for some reason or other (cost, wife/gf/significant other won't let me, etc.) aren't able to own one of these? I'm having withdrawal issues.

That's not a bad idea.

Start selling everything else you have, that's what happened to me when I heard Hugo2-I HAD to have it. I sold my CDM, Mojo and A12's to get a Hugo 2. Also wait for a black Friday sale.

Just received the Demo Kits, and they seem to be in good order short of one missing ear tip. Thanks to Korotnam for forwarding. I will forward to DWbirdseye next Monday the 16th.
