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

Don't mean to spoil a member's HF classified but just searching on Google, headphones.com (reputable?? I don't know!) has an open box for cheaper.

Did you go to HPFes today to try the EX?

+1 [Mod hat on] @xshen79 is right. Please stick to the SR-X9000 topic. [/Mod hat off]

Mine’s still in its packaging!

Folks, @iscorpio71 misunderstood that the connector was MMCX which he later corrected to say it's 2-pin. I've cleaned up subsequent replies to avoid any further misunderstanding.

Let's keep this thread on-topic about CJSG24 instead. I talked to @Rob Watts and he'll have his presentation available on his blog in the upcoming weeks. We can spin off a separate thread about this. All I can say is that his presentation was honest and enlightening. I only wish someone video-ed it.

This isn't a product review as much as a more general summation of my thoughts after attending my first CanJam. So for someone who's been out of the game for about 5 yrs, just coming back, I have to say I'm highly shocked and impressed at many different facets of industry and hobby. After moving...

I didn’t think so.

I see little talked about this but a new company called Eminent Ears (by Travis Chan) from Hong Kong has come up with a little captivating gem called Ruby (no pun intended). The 1x DD, 4x BA, 4x EST 5-way crossover is surprisingly coherent across board (to my aging ears). I enjoyed the...
