The KZ PRO 2 was interpreted by both of us ( 4ceratops and I ) identically, as you have pointed out, everyone knows they can shop price. Cheers!

What was a wild coincidence was yesterday I was listening to the Zen and the OCC849 back to back answering another members question. He was looking for a cable solution to the Shozy B2. Now maybe I was keying in on one being 4 wire pure copper and the other (OCC849) silver plated, because...

Yes, a home run..... so happy you decided to get the 7Hz Aurora, I guessed would love it! Cheers! The Aurora has your personal sound signature, from what I can see.

Ahh, no, your 100% wrong here. The OCC849 sounds nothing like a pure copper cable build like the Hans Sound Zen or Hans Sound ZENTOO, that is because it is absolutely not pure copper as you discribe? If you scroll over to the Penon site the OCC849 is a silver plated copper. Yep, there is a...

I actually agree, that it could be adding a system to where some frequencies are boosted and pushed forward into the light, to where other frequencies are set slightly back, which gives the impression of clarity. I'm not denying that it at least gives you the feeling of more resolution. Except...

Well, it is more than color, in fact maybe color isn’t necessarily the word at all. Why, because an increase in resolution is the opposite of color in a way. It adds weight, separation and gives the midrange density. The (full-on) Totem full-size cable does this too, but the adapter cable may be...

Thank-you for that, you are a great moderator.

“No, I really don't believe reviewers should evaluate free samples sent by the manufacturer or retailer.” So your at odds with the whole industry?

Did you really read my impressions take on the PRO 2? Did you read every word or not? I never said it was perfect, in fact I said it was lesser than the PRO X. I said the safe bet is still the PRO X and the guilty pleasure would be the PRO 2. I’m being absolutely as honest as possible?

It is exactly like getting free Pizza samples at the grocery store. They have a smiling gal who stops you and says would you to try the “Whatever brand” pizza. Then you taste it and it’s something you would have overlooked, yet it is now the focus of your imagination. The only difference is we...

“ No, I really don't believe reviewers should evaluate free samples sent by the manufacturer or retailer.” This is what he wrote, or am I missing something?

Lol, samples have been supplied for audio reviews at least since the 1950s. Where do you think equipment in The Absolute Sound, or Stereophile comes from? And most of those magazines don’t cover cheap $50 KZ IEMs either, we are talking thousands of dollars per sample. Unsustainable? It’s been...

Edit:

So sorry yes, it is a review sample, and sure that has a possible phycological bias maybe towards a more positive out come.........I mean it was a gift? But I do all I can to try and remain as objective as humanly possible. Though in the end, it probably will not be argued this endeavor is...

I always answer questions, it also may help me learn. I will never forget the time (in my younger years before being a reviewer) when I asked a prominent reviewer about the qualities of a $3400 IEM, he wouldn’t answer all but a single question? Imagine he got a $3400.00 IEM for free and won’t...

All tests in 4.4mm The first thing I did was try the PAC480. What was wild is it was a big sound (a huge stage) but there was a slight glare which I reconfirmed by going from the Sony WM1A over to the HiBy R3 II. Yep, no need to try it any further. I got to wondering what other ways I could...

You nailed it, me too!

I have a great story. I was only 13 years old and was at this outdoor camp for a whole month. Secluded many miles.......maybe about 23 miles from civilization. It just turned out they had me in a tent with a bunch of silly Beatles fans, only they were 14, 15 and 16 year old girls. Back then...

Yep, those were the days. I remember walking in to a Goodwill and seeing this Pioneer turntable. Though the notable thing was the Shure V15 cartridge. Around 1996 they had stuff like that, as who knew what anything was, the Internet had just started and no one could reference anything...
