    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...

    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...

    Elysian Annihilator 2023

    Alter Ego received a lot of hype. Itโ€™s not a โ€œbadโ€ IEM although I wasnโ€™t 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...

    Woo Audio WA11 Review / Preview - Head-Fi TV

    You need the older USB standard which is the On the Go cable. Itโ€™s 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 donโ€™t know if they are until you try. WA11 has lots of power the but the inbuilt DAC and resolution I...

    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...

    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...

    Eletech Cables Official Impressions & Discussions Thread

    Tips are very personal. In terms fit and sonically. However, would imagine baroque would work well. Versa means theyโ€™re 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 ainโ€™t bad if...

    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...

    Eletech Cables Official Impressions & Discussions Thread

    โ€ฆ 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...

    Thereโ€™s a lot of personal preference. They are also mostly very different. What about them didnโ€™t resonate with you? Though I see on the โ€œrank 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...

    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 โ€œthereโ€™s better out thereโ€ Listening to the venerable Campfire Audio Andromeda 2020. Iโ€™m yet to hear another CFA IEM tuned like it. My first cable roll to an...

    [ Not the best picture. Very much enjoy OTL. Thereโ€™s 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 etcโ€ฆ What am I enjoying? Reposting a photo.

    Gaudio, Swiss in-ears - Impressions & Discussion Thread (Nair, Clariden)

    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...
