I think I was there when you bought this one. It is gorgeous. If I didn't already have one, I would have bought this already.- HiFiHawaii808

First time I have ever tried a speaker tap for driving headphones. So, I do not know. I do know that I am getting a significant boost in SQ and resolution and I love it.- HiFiHawaii808

Finally got a chance to spend a few hours a/b testing Susvara on the headphone jack vs. the speaker taps. I have heard so much about how much better the speaker taps are in general that I had to test it for myself. I finally did it. Here is the Chain that I tested. It turns out that this is...- HiFiHawaii808

Need to make your way to Singapore again. The key with the DC ti demo unit is to try different tips. The demo unit is a shaved down custom which does not seal well with all tips. That was my problem last year when I heard it when we were together at Jaben SG.- HiFiHawaii808

Sorry that I missed the vote. Here would have been my vote for 3 IEMs that have captured my heart at this very moment in time. 1. Elysian Acoustic Labs Dio. I heard it in Singapore at CanJam for the second time and with the near final version and it is spectacular. I will likely be my...- HiFiHawaii808

Been travelling so much that I haven't had time to post. Just got home very late last night from Orlando with family. Home for 3 days, then going to Tahiti for 2 weeks for a family reunion. This is too much travel for me this year. Going to stay home in June. Anyway, I got this new cable...- HiFiHawaii808

We are going to have a Watercooler contingent at CanJam London. I am making tags for those who want one and to participate. If you are interested, send me a PM and I will add you to the list. Originally did this so that we could more easily identify each other. We have a large group in...- HiFiHawaii808

What a great thread already. There is already such a diversity of posters. I am going to spend a lot of time reading this thread. Can't wait for the first poll once we get a critical mass of posters. Anyone planning on going to CanJam London?- HiFiHawaii808
