Preamp the Mentor with a tube amp. Sterile and cold sound problem solved.

I think the passport requirement and restrictions killed the Jam. Even though most of us won’t be going out of the city except for CanJam, it could be a nice option for some to bundle their tourist activities with the CanJam. But with them requiring a special visa vs no visa but get tied down to...

How do they end up pricing the Fukagu anyway? For that price you’d think the DAP they are using is made of solid 24K gold and the cables are made from platinum.

What’s going to be important is how the SusUV will perform with TOTL DAC and Amps and will it be able to scale well like the OG Susvara.

You’ll have to try it yourself. I was watching that Tungsten review by that Guy (what’s his name) and he got the spacing mod from ModHouse. It snaps on magnetically and doesn’t affect the screws at all which is fine but it looked heavy. I don’t think he got the full benefit like people with the...

Those spacers are gigantic metal grills. Not sure how it affects the sound, but it will certainly increase the weight.

They dropped price of the refurbished by 100 usd compared to 6 months ago.

Is it due to the lack of American participation in this CanJam? Why is there no exciting reviews of gears? The Susvara unveiled their Unveiled and we still don’t have an impression. How sad…

Oxidation as other posters put it. I’m not a sound or material engineer so I phrase my comment as a question with assumption that tarnished silver may result in altered electrical conduction.

This only applies to external metals. I believe they were talking about the conductive coating for the driver. If they use an alloy, wouldn’t that negatively affect the sound?

Have you tried the washer mod yet? Supposedly makes the Tungsten even more bass powerful.

It’s actually better for regular people like us to review a product using regular words than professional reviewer. Their lexicon of words are mostly exaggerations. That said, how’s the sonic enjoyment compared to the Abyss so far? I was holding back on getting the TC 1266 till I try out the...

It’s widely different between single and dual. Most of the time you will never get to use all that power. This is just overkill. The dual Mentor is rated at 30ish watt at 32ohms but the guys at audioscience got 40W+ out of it. It’s ridiculous power, which is why people are trying to hook up...

Anyone with a recent MicmicAudio tungsten delivery? What’s your order number?

Glad they have screws for the tungsten headphone covers. If we unscrew it and left the back open, can we call it Tungsten Unveiled like the new Susvara?
