    The Watercooler -- Impressions, philosophical discussion and general banter. Index on first page. All welcome.

    Was watching the CJ Shanghai preview video from Head-Fi and to quote "you know those watercooler guys, they just love rolling the cables on their IEM's" Well I'm rolling Hugo2 adapters. From the vanilla adapter to the Orpheus on the Hugo2. If you're familiar with the interconnect, you'll be...

    Eletech Cables Official Impressions & Discussions Thread

    I respectfully disagree. That is a very entitled opinion. In my experience with clients, expectations and demands incongruent with reality are often associated with suboptimal outcomes. Or at least, an unsatisfied client. I will state outright that listening impressions are subjective. What you...

    Eletech Cables Official Impressions & Discussions Thread

    Your impressions are very similar to mine. I was rather impressed with the Aristotle for its low end warmth ; although mids and technicalities were an instantly noticeable improvement moving onto Euclid which I associated with a sense of scale and a more majestic presentation with heavier note...

    I hear Eric is partial to a good whisky. Surely you're VVIP enough to shout him a drink and see if he will make you one? ;)

    Cable differences are subjective though you're comparing a $299 v $529 v $729 cable ... all of which have different characteristics. Both the Raphael and Code 24 are decent in their own way. You're setting yourself up for disappointment if you rely on opinions here. Especially if you're asking...

    I reviewed it recently ... :) https://www.head-fi.org/showcase/eletech-ode-to-laura.26167/reviews Hope that helps some of the other posters. Whilst cable sonic synergies are not always predictable ... "in general" the characteristics may apply to different IEM's. It is difficult to ascertain...

    Echo many of the comments already said here. Marble / Granite bench tops make for an amazingly versatile backdrop. Short of using AI to write a review (you can ask ChatGPT to write a review based upon your notes) ... there is an inordinate amount of work that goes into writing a proper review...

    Oriolus Traillii Electrostatic Hybrid IEM discussion thread

    Forgot to multi-quote earlier. I auditioned the SP3000 with the SP3000T side by side. I preferred the SP3000 +/- portable amp over the SP3000T. The SP3000 had the nod for being technically superior. There are many options with the SP3000T in terms of fine tuning the Tube/SS/Hybrid signature...

    Australian Head-Fi Tour Thread

    L&P P6Pro received today. Initial impressions: Small and light form factor. Like going back 5-10 years in time for portable DAP and then some. 64Gb internal storage. USB-C (at least) but transfer speeds are slooooooow. Warm, and engaging musical tuning. Intimate staging (compared to SP3000 +...

    Eletech Cables Official Impressions & Discussions Thread

    An evening of IC and cable rolling with a fellow audiophile. We ran out of time before I could try Enigma with Storm ... so Trailii it is. Very clean sounding cable. Bass is present but not prominent. Mids are forward and treble very well extended, with plenty of sparkle. Detail, clarity...

    Oriolus Traillii Electrostatic Hybrid IEM discussion thread

    I would think so. The CNC and titanium costs would be a significant amount.

    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.

    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...

    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...

    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...

    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...

    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?
