Interesting, I only had a few mins with the SR-X9000 but didn't hear the 6k peak. Got to try to get another chance to listen to it again.

Thx, I'll give that a shot. I assume i don't need any fancy Pi's right? i.e. Pi0 would suffice? Or do I need a bigger Pi4/Pi5? Pi0's don't have major power requirements so I can have something smaller and more compact to drive the CLAS.

Somewhat portable. Currently tethered to the mains via a 3V DC input. Was doing a little cleaning/repairing of my Walkmans. The earphones are the Noble Audio Maple Sage.

I've been out of the game for quite a few years but has that policy changed? I thought even universal FitEars purchased (new) from Fujiya-Avic required proof of Japan residency?

Folks, I posted up a 25th May meet unfortunately I've not heard of any responses, and as such am cancelling the meet. However if folks want to reach out to me directly for any informal catchup, I'll be more than happy to do so (within Perth limits :P). But I don't think I'd be dismantling my...

Closed at OP's request. Official thread here.

You have a better memory than me! I re-terminated one of my Brise cables since I sold the Utopia.

Aw....any regrets letting it go!? I have to say the 1+2 was ahead of its time and still holds strong 11-12 yrs later.

Now you've done it :P. I've just dusted off the Tralucent 1Plus2 but the original silver+gold has been reterminated for my FitEars so the only decent cable I have for 2-pin is the Brise UPG001Ref1 8-wire. I should have brought the 1+2 along to compare with the 2024 TotLs. Really the 1+2 blew my...

Agreed depending on how far you go back. My TOTL would be my FitEar Titans from 2017 (2018?) and I hadn't done any critique listening till CanJam SG - after a 5 year hiatus. To my surprise a 2017 $3k TOTL sound can be achieved by a 2024 ~$1k IEM with 2024 $2k surpassing a yesteryear TOTL. Having...

@AncientWsidom (gosh I haven't talked to you in ages!!), @Dansus18 & other folks, shall we set a date tentatively Sat May 25th to catch up at Dan's store? There are some others who are not in this group that've reached out. I'm happy to bring my Stax SR-009, SR-007Mk1s, Electra/Holo...

I blame @Kiats for this...he's tickled my Stax bug again and made me pull out my 007Mk1s.

I had Kaya Toast every morning during that trip. And of course a mandatory visit to Zeppelin on Monday after CanJam
