    RAAL 1995 headphones, Magna and Immanis

    Notice how the comment itself is hedged: it “may depend upon the amp you pair them with” and “will vary given the rest of the components in the source chain”? Plus I would have thought that would be the case with any transparent transducer. Whilst I do enjoy reading reviews, I do find that at...

    Starting the morning with the lovely ATH W5000. Always gorgeous for female vocals especially. :)

    T+A Solitaire T Wireless Headphone

    very flexible. Hmm… I am not sure about that. That is rather long for a HP cable unless it is for a desktop. In which case, I would not bother to store with the case. The cable I have is 1.5M. It will give you some sense of scale. Anyway, the case should be big enough if you are not anal about...

    T+A Solitaire T Wireless Headphone

    Strange. I just used the link which was shared by one of the posts here in this thread and it brought me directly to the order page for Solitaire T.

    Thanks! Yeah… I have only gotten around to pairing the Aristotle to the FitEar Titan. :) Only had about half hour listen thus far. Agree with you about how ET cables tend to punch above their price point. Thank you! Yes, it was nice to get away and spend time with the family, which is too rare...

    These came in while I was away for two weeks. Kudos to the Lavricables team: registered post took less than one week to reach Singapore. :)

    Luxury & Precision E7: Impressions and Discussions

    I think the system freezing up does happen once a while. I recall the video that LP put out which I had mentioned and given the link to Jaben’s version with English subtitles does talk about pressing and holding the power button for 15 seconds and everything will be fine again. See below Post...

    Shanling ET3 - Dedicated Digital CD Transport, With USB Drive and Wi-Fi Support

    Agree with the points. To balance off some of the comments, I am very happy with the ET-3. Whether to play CDs and upsample them or to leverage off the digital transport or streaming capabilities of the ET-3. And at this price point, it works very well for me. :)

    Soranik Audio Discussion

    Big shout out to @Uncle Wilson of Jaben SG for getting this across to me. The AP1. I do like the compact size and the seeming greater voltage swing and consequent better grip. I am listening to the M9+ at 35 on turbo gain. Previously, on the AP0 I was listening at volume 40. I find the tonal...

    Eletech Cables Official Impressions & Discussions Thread

    I have been away for my birthday trip to London and the UK. Hence, I had to wait to receive these gorgeous cables. Two phrases come to mind, in addition to the gorgeous cables: unparalleled unboxing experience and such absolutely gorgeous leather cases! @Eric Chong and team have really outdone...

    RAAL 1995 headphones, Magna and Immanis

    Not surprising. The Hyperion Ge is already such an excellent amp. As is the HSA-1c. And the Armageddon takes things to another level. It will be a great complement to the HSA-1C and Hyperion Ge. :)

    RAAL 1995 headphones, Magna and Immanis

    Well, the Hyperion Ge is excellent with the SR-1A and the CA-1A. For the current context. And I suspect it will be just as good for the Immanis. I do enjoy the tonality of the Hyperion Ge. I love the lush yet technically excellent sound signature. As for the Armageddon, I will find out soon...

    Thank you! Slight digression here, hoping that Alex will forgive me, but the Yamaha team really needs to step up its marketing efforts. The YH-5000SE is stunning off the SAEQ Hyperion Ge/Holo Spring 3 KTE. It is so underrated. :)

    Yamaha YH-5000SE — a flagship from an orthodynamic headphones veteran!

    No I did not. But you can telll the character of the amp and the DAC. Anyway, the YH-5000 SE stays with me. :)

    Yamaha YH-5000SE — a flagship from an orthodynamic headphones veteran!

    After a few days spent with the HA-L7A, what I will say is that this amp/dac makes good sense for anyone who is starting out and wants an all in one. Functionally there are a few ways to tweak the sound: there is high/low gain, there are various filters for the ESS DAC, there are also the...

    Yamaha YH-5000SE — a flagship from an orthodynamic headphones veteran!

    Haha! Thanks!Yes I do. I have both the MS 3.1 and 3.2. I was most fortunate that when MySphere had an unbelievable sale of their refurbished demo units a few years back, @Uncle Wilson of Jaben SG managed to secure a few sets. Getting both the MS 3.1 and 3.2 was a no brainer for me. For that sort...

    THE WATERCOOLER HEADPHONE EDITION – Headphones, Amps, DACs, and desktop/home audio related – a freewheeling discussion of gear, impressions, music, and musings.

    Yes it is. The engineers have an explanation for it. I have not had time to read through the interview yet. But these Japanese engineers are endearingly serious about these things. We benefit. :)

    In the same situation as you are. :) Waiting patiently for my Immanis to arrive. I have had the Sus since it was first released. Will demo the Susun in due course when Jeremy and AV One receive their demo unit which should be this month. :)
