So many impressions from just one day in Munich.
Loved Immanis, it was everything i hoped it to be, lots of slam depth and 3dimensionality to it, Envy was its best pairing at the show.
hough I don’t think its a Susvara killer many hope for. Both headphones will compliment each other very very well though. Had my Sus with me and could compare it A/B for around a hour.
Envy AE looks absolutely marvellous in person, probably one of the prettiest amps of the show. Sonically I prefered Immanis on the stock edition PE with full music tubes... I talked with a few people on the fair who shared the opinion, both setups been a table away from each other, it was fairly easy to compare. Elrogs are still way too dry and technical, especially with Immanis that really comes to live with some tubyness. Looking forward to Envy AE impressions with WE300b.
Another absolute highligh was the Aperio, absolutely incredible system that outshined basically any other headphone on the fair that day for me. One day I want to preamp the thing with tubes or use a tube dac like lampi baltic with it. Aperio does everything Immanis and Susvara do but quite a bit better and more effortless. Its pure magic.
Bravura not so much - still a lot of clipping on the latest revision and after Immanis and Sus on powerful chains it felt rather lacking.
Ah snd yeah Viva Egoista was insanely good, first amp I thought that is an undeniable upgrade to Envy at least with Susvara. Just wish it wasn’t so damn hot, it felt like a nuclear plant, almost burned myself touching volume knob, no idea how to run it in summer haha
Incredible amp though.
Probably need to make some tome for a proper write up, way too many impressions and so much grest gear to discover. Like Shangri La Mini which will be a big hit this year I believe, considering its price and sonic qualities on pair with Bravura (without the clipping).
This one day I was there felt way too short, will try to make it earlier next time.
