    flinkenick's 17 Flagship IEM Shootout Thread (and general high-end portable audio discussion)

    Thanks guys! Interesting to hear that the Apple Airpods are good enough, was not expecting them to be up to par with more audiophile brands. I prefer Android TBH, but am planning to get an Iphone when I get back since friends tell me that it has advantages when you're already using a Mac. Plus I...

    flinkenick's 17 Flagship IEM Shootout Thread (and general high-end portable audio discussion)

    Howdy :v: I happened to be in the neighbourhood to post some impressions, so thought I'd stop by. How's everybody been? A bit off topic perhaps, but has anyone done any investigating into decent wireless earbuds for around $200-$300 or so? I'm going on a long vacation and need something...

    Effect Audio cables thread

    Hi there :wave: I’ve been dusted off one last time to provide some impressions of the 8w versions of the Ares S and Cadmus S. Apologies again to EA for it taking a while, I received them a few weeks back but have been buried in deadlines last months. The cables were launched right around when...

    Effect Audio cables thread

    Hi all, EA and I have decided to part ways, so my time here has come to an end. It has been a pleasure to dive back into this hobby and be part of this special community again. I've always been passionate about cables, so it has been great to work for a company that makes such quality...

    Masters of Classical Music - A Wyville Original Review Series

    Exciting stuff! Stoked to see where this is going, been a while since I sat down to read a review series :D

    ^^I don't know who this guy is but he sounds totally awesome. You should definitely listen to him and buy like, a ton of EA cables.

    Maybe the next level after becoming a @Mimouille is becoming a @proedros: a more continuous state of explicit frustration and anger.

    Honestly, I think we should all make fun of Ranfan for not being able to afford a proper $5K iem.

    Oh I don't think there's a single person on this thread interested in buying any of these iems.. As you might have noticed from the last seven pages, the whole point is kinda just to collectively rant :D

    I completely understand. For your consideration, I will be starting a crowdfunding for a new Ducati motorcycle I have been eyeing. Checks can be made over to 'Flinkenick's Moving Company'.

    I think you guys are underestimating how much Gzregorz dislikes reviewers : ) He put up a notice that they will not deal with reviewers, and I can assure you those are words he lives by. I certainly don't have €5700 in cash lying round, so don't expect anything from me :D

    High end (IEM) cable thread: impressions, pics, comparisons and reviews.

    Ah yes Rhapsodio's website is always outdated. Maybe because Sammy keeps changing stuff all the time. It's available if you contact him via Facebook for instance, which is generally the best way to deal with Sammy. If you show some persistence he might give you a bit of a discount ; ) Sorry Ike...

    And my review of a current favourite, the Rhapsodio 2.98 silver-gold alloy. https://theheadphonelist.com/rhapsodio-2-98-v2-silver-gold-alloy-cable/

    flinkenick's 17 Flagship IEM Shootout Thread (and general high-end portable audio discussion)

    Man I am busting out reviews like there ain't no tomorrow. Unfortunately for some it is another cable review, but one that I have been enjoying immensely: the Rhapsodio 2.98, a silver-gold alloy with 2% gold count. It isn't a super technical cable in terms of stage or resolution, but such a...

    flinkenick's 17 Flagship IEM Shootout Thread (and general high-end portable audio discussion)

    On the tweeter or the Erlkonig? For the tweeter, I don't really understand why such an established manufacturer as Sony stoops to such claims for marketing, nor who they think they are fooling. People that have no idea how frequencies work will not be impressed by a 100 Khz claim, and people...

    flinkenick's 17 Flagship IEM Shootout Thread (and general high-end portable audio discussion)

    Sammy is being a bit cagey about it, it seems he had a dealer but nobody bought anything so I'm not sure he'll send an Eden soon as the production of the drivers is slow. Guess it is not happening anytime soon then. The Eden's are waiting for you as soon as you move over / have free time, along...

    flinkenick's 17 Flagship IEM Shootout Thread (and general high-end portable audio discussion)

    I have finished yet another review, the Rhapsodio Eden. Full disclosure: I might have copied some lines from my brief impressions piece, so you might recognize a line or two. But, that was mostly because I found it an interesting concept to build on, not (just) because I am lazy. Plus I added...

    flinkenick's 17 Flagship IEM Shootout Thread (and general high-end portable audio discussion)

    Yeah I went to the parade in San Francisco a couple of years back when I was at Berkeley for half a year, and can remember seeing significantly more wangs out and about. There might have been a couple on the loose here as well, but I'm guessing they enforced a strict no wang policy on the boats...

    flinkenick's 17 Flagship IEM Shootout Thread (and general high-end portable audio discussion)

    Yesterday I went to the gay pride canal parade for the first time, even though I lived in Amsterdam for five years or so. I always thought it would be over the top and everything, but there was such a positive vibe. You realise it's not about being gay or not, but just a really powerful message...

    Nice to see the thread is becoming a place of cultural diversity and appreciation. How was everybody's kurada this morning? Personally, I've been mostly thrilled to learn the word 'bitches' has seeped through the PG filter, alongside 'ass'. Anyways enough yammering, I would like to share my...

    High end (IEM) cable thread: impressions, pics, comparisons and reviews.

    Well, I can't think of a better introduction for my Venom review. https://theheadphonelist.com/han-sound-audio-venom/ Hi Dan, I only have fleeting experience with those cables and the R6, so I can't offer much insight. But from what I understand, the effect of the iEMatch would nullify the...
