4070? So, here's the story: I was exchanging headphones with a friend when he suddenly popped the question, ‘are you interested in the 4070?’ Without much thought, I replied, "For sure, why not? " I'd love to overclock my 4060 and turn it into a 4070 if possible, why refusing a REAL 4070 then? I thought he was talking about the graphics card RTX 4070, even when I noticed a slight smirk on his face, still, I had absolutely no clue what awaited me.

Intro. Similar yet different As a portable player featuring vacuum tubes, the N8ii, as the successor to the N8, shares some similarities while also introducing some differences.

I believe Fostex has mainly made some tuning...

Disclaimer: This one is not a tour unit, I purchased it. I didn't participated the tour because HFM didn't organise it here in China.. The purchase of the Jade II came about when I decided to take a break from the dynamics headphones, I tried a lot of them back then, various colours of TH900, HD800/s, Denon's D7000 series, etc., I was thinking, ‘why not try something else? like electrostatic headphones?’ Coincidentally, I stumbled upon an alluring priced STAX T8000, so I grabbed the bargain and started my electrostatic journey. However, I still...
