The Watercooler -- Impressions, philosophical discussion and general banter. Index on first page. All welcome.
Finally got around to writing some impressions of my favourite cable here. https://www.head-fi.org/threads/nightjar-acoustics-lounge.971854/page-3#post-18152893 There are not that many impressions of the Nightjar Sovereign Symphony and I couldn't even find a product page to write a review. The...- Tanalasta

Nightjar Acoustics Lounge
A meet up with NightJar Acoustic's Chang I first discovered NightJar acoustics serendipitously listening to a rather unique looking IEM that was passed onto me by a fellow friend and audiophile. That IEM was Storm. I knew nothing about it. Once tips were dialled in, it was instantly...- Tanalasta

Elysian Annihilator 2023
Alter Ego received a lot of hype. Itโs not a โbadโ IEM although I wasnโt a (personal preference) fan of boosted Bass / low mids (of the bass switched on). The titanium shell is lovely to hold and looks very durable. The timbre is quite nice. You could be happy with it. Techs could be better but...- Tanalasta

Woo Audio WA11 Review / Preview - Head-Fi TV
You need the older USB standard which is the On the Go cable. Itโs one of my frustrations with the WA11 and why I let it go. I may have one somewhere. Trouble is I never tagged them so I donโt know if they are until you try. WA11 has lots of power the but the inbuilt DAC and resolution I...- Tanalasta

Eletech Cables Official Impressions & Discussions Thread
Argh!! Rubbing it in ... I am hoping there may be the option of two versions. Personal preferences aside, I'm optimistic about Romeo and having listened to Eric's cables am in alignment with his preferences. Listening to Jackie Cheung at the moment rather than modern electronic beats...- Tanalasta

Norne Audio (Was: Norse Audio): Feedback & Impression Thread
1. Oh yes. I've sent Trevor and restarted email correspondence. I may have to put in bold and underline "place me in your production queue pretty please" :) 2. I have a Vykari V2 fusion cable that I alternative between the Utopia and LCD-5 (using a short adapter). It is all that and more. There...- Tanalasta

Eletech Cables Official Impressions & Discussions Thread
Tips are very personal. In terms fit and sonically. However, would imagine baroque would work well. Versa means theyโre interchangeable from 2 pin to other connectors eg. CFA use a different termination I would suggest Raphael or OTL from eletechs range but tbh the stock cable ainโt bad if...- Tanalasta

Norne Audio (Was: Norse Audio): Feedback & Impression Thread
What would one suggest pairing with the LCD-5. SC5 4 v 8 wire? I've just shot Trevor an email. In the meantime, using an adapter with my Vykari v2 which seems amazingly versatile paired to either the LCD-5 and Utopia 2022. Amazing clarity and detail retrieval. I would love something more lush...- Tanalasta

Eletech Cables Official Impressions & Discussions Thread
โฆ waiting patiently for more news on Romeo. Things have gone a bit quiet since CJ. Whilst I have successfully cable rolled an Eletech cable whilst on a freeway (I strongly do not recommend it) I was unable to take a photo at the same time. Though I'm reposting this photo. Absolutely love how...- Tanalasta

Thereโs a lot of personal preference. They are also mostly very different. What about them didnโt resonate with you? Though I see on the โrank the IEM threadโ you preferences VEX, onyx and phonix https://www.head-fi.org/threads/rank-the-iems-youve-heard.454855/page-344#post-18144181 Did you...- Tanalasta

How are you finding the Pilgrim? Back to sets that bring me joy. Rediscovering one of the pairings that sent me down the rabbit hole of โthereโs better out thereโ Listening to the venerable Campfire Audio Andromeda 2020. Iโm yet to hear another CFA IEM tuned like it. My first cable roll to an...- Tanalasta

[ Not the best picture. Very much enjoy OTL. Thereโs little doubt a flagship cable can fine tune and improve the technicalities of a capable IEM. Tighter, well textured but still authorative bass. Improved clarity etcโฆ What am I enjoying? Reposting a photo.- Tanalasta

Bumping an old thread. Recently been introduced to GAudio as a brand by Audio Geek but am yet to hear their releases. Searching for that quintessential DD (predominant) IEM for all round listening since i sold my Isabellae. Has anyone heard these yet? Dual DD implementation with BA tweeters...- Tanalasta
