CanJam Shanghai 2024 Impressions Thread
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...- psy472

CanJam Shanghai 2024 Impressions Thread
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.- psy472

CanJam Shanghai 2024 Impressions Thread
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.- psy472

Mod House Audio Tungsten - Planar Magnetic Headphones - Impressions and Discussion
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...- psy472

Those spacers are gigantic metal grills. Not sure how it affects the sound, but it will certainly increase the weight.- psy472

CanJam Shanghai 2024 Impressions Thread
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…- psy472

HiFiMan Susvara
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.- psy472

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?- psy472

FLUX Mentor Class-A dual-mono headphone amplifier.
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...- psy472

FLUX Mentor Class-A dual-mono headphone amplifier.
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...- psy472

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?- psy472

People get bored of even the best headphone. Wait till there is really a replacement for Susvara. They are likely trying to protest that US ban on TikTok being owned by the Chinese government owned ByteDance. Ironically TikTok is banned in China.- psy472

Hifiman HE1000 Planar Dynamic Headphone
Pad thickness will alter the sound of your headphones. How it does that really depends on how they built the headphone. If the driver is too packed in you can get some pressure build up when listening to music so your ear feels stuffed up. Thicker pads help ease that and you can feel bass...- psy472
