The Crystal Piccolino! :L3000:

If you can get a chance, I highly encourage everyone here to try the Leonidas I. My second favourite EA cable of all time ☺️ If you were to ask me which I prefer, it would boil down to the IEM pairing and what you are actually looking for!

Any particular area u want to improve? Or are you looking for refinement, while preserving much of it? I feel which area u want to improve is going to be hard to say since it depends a lot on the pairings, but as you go up the EA cable lineup, refinement is one thing that only goes up up up!

Finally an expert who explained it so nicely HAHA. I have been trying to do that in my past few posts but doesn't come across as clearly as this. Having OPTIONS is key here. Its always nice to know that there is an option to get something like this should I need it one day 👍🏻

Look forward to hearing your impressions as well as some pictures! Do you happen to have anything to compare it with? Something similar?

As far as I know, nope. Therefore, I feel that this product from Effect Audio plugs a gap in the market as it allows owners of AK DAPs to be able to use 4.4mm cables with their own DAP and enjoy the sonic benefits. Personally, its not a product I would need as I wouldn't want to reterminate all...

I want to join Tronsmart Apollo Bold review program!

Ah yes this is it! Thanks for finding the image. So this one from EA in theory would give you the benefits of ”fully balanced”. I would be very interested to give this a try to see if I would actually be able to hear any sonic improvements vs straight out of 2.5mm balanced. Side note...

I personally feel that the Co-Donguri isnt a good representation of what you will get with the Flat-4 lineup. I feel that the CO-Donguri Shizuku is a pair of earphones that are very easy to listen to. It is my go to pair of earphones when I am looking to buy a gift for someone (I have gifted...

Yes, if I am not mistaken then @ThomasHK is correct about this. If you look closely at the 4.4mm connector, there are 4 poles, while the 2.5mm connector only has 4 poles. Thus, this adapter from EA uses the 3.5mm as an active grounding, which effectively uses the 3.5mm as the "5th pole" that is...

Let me first add a disclaimer that I have never met Yamagishi-San personally. All the news I get is through a friend who has visited him personally and he is also the same guy who owns all the gear I posted a few pictures above. He has been helping me to get all my Ocharaku IEMs as well as the...

Testing the Shizuoka S2 now. Comparing with my 1st generation personal unit. But I will provide a more in-depth write up when I get my personal unit. For now, it impressed me 🤔🤔 Confirmed my order already! How many Flat-4s can u identify here? 😝😝 Enjoying my time. Spoilt for choice! ps. I...

Personally, I find the pairing with the WM1Z better as I that the Flat 4s scale better with more power compared to the SP1000. The Kaede might sound a little thin with the SP1000, with the treble being occasionally too “peaky” for my liking. However, I must say that the sound is extremely detailed.

Yes that is the S2. Lagoon is the name of the colour way HAHA I am not so sure about this, but would definitely be interesting to have that option. However, I would be picking up a 3.5mm version for myself.

https://ocharaku.jp/sound/topics/6867/ I would get the chance to try this in a few days time. Already placed an order for one even before trying 🤭😝 Anyone else here tried or bought already? So far from some of my friends who purchased it they seem to like it very much. Quite excited since I own...

I personally feel that Ocharakus are pretty sensitive with the DAP pairing and its mostly a hit or miss. I personally havent gottten the chance to try the SE100 with the Kaede but I hope you enjoy it!!

I do most of my listening on the SP1000 so I should be hearing something similar to you. Ok so from what I can infer its still distinctly a Kaede with some improvements. Would love to give it a shot but here in Singapore I dont think I would ever get a chance to try them unless someone actually...

It is not all mine. I only own the sakura and the akakeyaki, butI have always been a fan of the Kaede II! Personally, I have only been using my Flat-4s with DAPs. My phone doesn't bring out the best of the Flat-4. However, when I need to listen to music with my phone, I would reach for the way...

Any impressions of the Kaede III? Pretty interested to find out what Ocharaku has done but with this COVID situation I doubt I would be able to get a chance to go and personally hear one for myself. Just curious!! Oh don't they just look gorgeous! My photo definitely does not do them any justice.

Wow that is a lot of gold in 1 picture HAHA. Personally using the SP1000SS, have been eyeing the SP2000 for the longest time and seeing all these pictures are just temping me!!

Hi Guys, I am using an SP1000SS. Just wondering, anyone here is able to describe the changes with the amp? I am not necessarily looking for more power, but I wouldn't mind a richer sound with more kick down low. Would getting an amp help to achieve this? Any help would be appreciated

Are you talking about buying a used CUSTOM Fitear? Or UNIVERSAL models? For universal I believe I shouldn't be a big issue since they were designed that way. Only possible issues would be if it is out of warranty and something happens you would have to bear the full cost of the repairs which...

Wow that looks absolutely beautiful 😍😍 Hope you enjoy your set-up!

I have the chance to listen to these 3 cables side by side so I would be sharing what I hear about each of them. Before I proceed, let me make it clear that I am just sharing what I hear to my own ears and I will attempt to be as objective as possible. As usual, YMMV. I am not a professional...

Are you asking about the Horus Octa instead? Since the Horus 8 is limited edition and I don’t think you would be able to purchase it anymore. But I would be able to get the chance to compare them side to side. Will listen and share some of my impressions.
