The discovery thread!

Bro how many times have you said that last month hahaha?

But maybe (a BIG MAYBE), the DITA Project M might be the one to stop more purchases till 11/11 for you? Look forward to your impressions on it!

I had a loaner of the Project M and though I found it a bit bright in the treble (with some BA timbre), it was pretty resolving and quite a nice midFI set. Also I think it is the company's cheapest IEM, but of course price doesn't correlate with value.







I have come to the sombre realization, that there is only PAUSE GAME.

END GAME is a myth.
Monday. Lazy azz UPS posted that my P-M landed at the local collection center last night, and somehow it didn't make it out. Since UPS doesn't run on Sundays, it's a monday special delivery. I love Mondays. LOL

[Mod hat on]
That's enough off topic posts. Not only for @droid23 but for others who are insistent in replying to this line of topic in this thread. If this continues I'm going to start locking folks out of this thread.

Let's get back on topic.

Hmmm..
How is discussing ethos of reviewers and companies doing shady practice off topic in an audiophile forum? When such said practices can influence the ' discovery' itself. If it's boring, it will die a natural death by non participation.

Update 6/1/24 11:00 am.
This is a very fine balanced IEM. Mid priced, but sounds like TOTL IEM. 7hz nocked it out of the park with this one!!
Yes, a home run..... so happy you decided to get the 7Hz Aurora, I guessed would love it! Cheers!

The Aurora has your personal sound signature, from what I can see.

Considering ali ex and such don't deliver to my country, most of these discount coins things aren't valid for me .

Btw what sort of discounts you get on 11.11? How much?
11.11 is like the Black Friday of Ali Express, so the Christmas lead in shopping week. This is where you really get the deals. It's where you will find the $70 off, $90 off, $100 off and sometimes $125 off or more on the gear over $200, and the gear under $200 is usually $20, $30 $50 off instead of $5, 10, and $15, so I've gotten some crazy good purchases on IEMs, DAPS, and cables, among others.

Whoa. The proudly cheap Indian in me approves.

have got TONS of life stuff coming up that require my audio funds… with the arrival of the LOAK2, I am feeling quite content hitting that pause button for the time being, my collection feels complete for now. The next step is TOTL and I want to take my time purchasing those.

I somehow still need a friggin balanced cable for my Audeze set though lol.

(I just listed my RU7 btw sooooo if you are in the US…)

There is no endgame. It's all ruthless marketing preying on our our FOMO.

Things improve, but we don't need every iteration along the way. To be honest as we age our ability to hear the difference also fades. Spending more money won't make us young again! :rolling_eyes:
FOMO? YOLO!! Buy that Annihilator 2023!

I don't believe you can make it through the entire sale without one small purchase.
Well...does an interconnect count? After I posted that, I ended up getting a palladium interconnect. That doesn't really count though, does it? LOL

New pokemon day today, my KZ Merga finally arrived. Holy cow, this thing has a really funky smell to it after pulling it out of the packaging. Hopefully it sounds better than it smells? lol.

Just like the Project M seems to be mine. This has been the longest and most arduous wait for something in ages for me. UPS sucks.

You will have to let me know how you like it. It was on my list of IEMs to get if I can get a good deal but I always end up getting distracted with other purchases that have some kind of sale or big incentive, speaking of which....

Just picked up the Hype 4 today from the aliexpress sale. It was a tough decision to make over the DaVinci, EM10 and Project M. Like the Highlander, there can be only one, for now. For $333 after Tax, I couldn't say no as I've been obsessed with it ever since it came out but kept buying everything but the Hype.

Thank you! Appreciate ya! Now tbh, if I didn't have the Project M coming in and one day away from hitting my porch, I undoubtedly would have bought something, and most likely it would have been either the EM10 or the DaVinci? Both intrigue me.

don't forget the cotton mod. After I did that, it improved that screechfest by 100 fold!
