Any updates on your order? What’s your order number from mimic audio?

If you put a metal box or cage over the Aegis it can double as a stool! Just don’t accidentally trip over it when you walk.

Can you check if it’s glued down properly? I recalled some Quality problems with the early batches that required them to glue down some parts because the screws were loose. You’ll have to do a quick search.

Oh that’s the dual slave/master module. Did you order a solo Mentor? But even then they used to include that in case people upgraded. You best message them to ask.

There is the issue of “grass is always greener on the other side” effect. So having a variety of amps is better than just having “the best”.

The price is a marketing tool. If it’s too cheap no one will take it seriously. However to justify the high price it needs to compare to the Susvara or at least be different and good enough that people are willing to pay, like the Shangri La estat.

It’s the same only the board is black instead of blue.

Supposedly they just revealed a Mini Shangri-La at Munich recently. could be it?

Unless they are jumping on the Ribbon bandwagon, I doubt they can make a planar better than the current cans.

You have to have a budget. There is no point in getting cables that cost more than your headphone unless you got the Susvara. I shopped around cables a bit so here is my input: your cables should be at least 2 meters long in case you move about and end up snapping the connectors. Your cables...

The HEK stealth is fine. I suspect the difference between stealth and SE version has more to do with the DAC/amp synergy than a major sound improvement between SE and the stealth. As far as how it’s comparable to the Susvara, that’s only if you are using mid fi level DAC and Amps. Once you scale...

The output is 250mW per channel for the Sony Walkman. Yes you can still have pretty loud volumes from the HEK with that, but I think leylandi meant you won’t be able to get the full performance with that kind of output. That performance can range among resolution, body and texture, and low...

Chain synergy is key here. For the Orpheus to be the better than the Susvara with a good chain, you’d have to spend close to 6 figures.

The Susvara has no sharpness. It’s very resolving. The issue is likely your DAC or amp. I recalled having a similar problem until I upgraded my DAC and amp.

Still waiting for me. They just completed November as of yesterday. That means another 1-2 months for me (ordered Dec 30th) and 2-3 months for you.

Norne is like the ZMF version of cables. The artistic value is ridiculously high plus good sound.

Yea, it’s a scary situation. Hope everyone is well over there.

You don’t have to stop listen in to negative music to be happy. It’s more like a temporary strategic retreat. Once you are settled, then go back to them as you want. When you are flooded with stressors in life, holding to things that stresses you would not make any sense. Just like when you...

What’s your order number and when did you order?

Well. If a great audio system can influence so much that means negative music can worsen your mood even more than normal. Such a scary double edged sword. Maybe it’s even better if you play an instrument and create your own music?

When looking for happiness, you have to ask the question what defines happiness for you? The problem of thinkers and smart people is that the overwhelming data and emotions they deal with tend to mix up. You feel your data and you rationalize your emotions. That’s just creating problems where...

Likely 1 month?

Meditation is like standing along the road but then a car is speeding towards you at 100 MPH. When you first start, you would instinctively run for it. After you practice meditation for a while, then you’ll learn to distinguish where you are relative to the car before you act. Often you are...

Why do these TOTL tube amps weigh so much? The Primavera is almost 100 lbs! Cost of these amp should include medical cost for back treatment.

You haven’t burnt in the Mentor yet. The sibilance will be gone after about 50 hours or so.
