why did you have to deal with Customs?

I have no idea, I bought the WM1Z from Japan, UPS contacts me and said the package is on hold at customs and they needed my SSN and address, I give it to them, they turn around and say that the package will be updated and go out. 1 week later.....I get a call from UPS asking me for all my info again, I asked why in F%$#$$&% I needed to do it a second time, they apologized and then said they would remove the duty fees. The package arrives at UPS for pickup and they tell me they have nothing on record saying the duty fees were being waved and they wanted me to take the phone and speak with their department that handles this. So Im sitting on hold on the phone inside the UPS facility on hold for 45 minutes.....I hung up and said screw it and paid the fees get my WM1Z, on my drive home I get a call from UPS saying they were calling to let me know that I didnt need to pay the fees...............it would have been a bad idea for anyone to be within a 100 feet of me.

That is a very nice looking setup you have there. Its funny though, to the average person that knows nothing of audio, thats 6 grand sitting on a table lol

@bsimms99... Thank you very much

I never thought I would spend so much on a portable audio gadget , but going thru the burn period and listening to some songs, that I initially thought I knew every instrument within... I was wowed, just yesterday got to 500hrs burn in, and heard a new background voice note, on one of my tracks, at first I thought someone was calling me... so removed the headset only to find out, it was from the music..... I couldn’t say how elated I was at that very moment .....

I can only imagine what the moonaudio silver cables can extract further down the road .....

One of the best investments I have made this year, although at times, I still wonder if I was hoodwinked to buy it .

It's a great cable. Like what twister6 said in his u18 review. Love it.

really eager now to receive mine , did you get the 4 or the 8 braid ? and how does it affect your ciems ?

I was lucky, cus i got mine in a week after i ordered. It usually takes 3-4 weeks to make. Mine is done after 1 or 2 days lol.
My cable is 4 braid. I don't like 8 cus its too thick and heavy.
It makes my a18 warmer a little bit, bassier and slightly bigger soundstage.

I dont know if anyone has noticed lately but I thought I would point it out. I have been reading the interviews over on Headfonia, it's funny that everytime a CEO of a IEM company or heck in the audio industry, when asked what they personally use for a DAP....its the 1Z LOL.

There will be an article just on the hiss, at least 3 pages long.

Why is there no hiss out of my Shure se846 with balanced cable? And here I thought I could get in on the hiss conversation!

 

[Quadfather]

I love the detail and power of Lotoo Paw Gold Diana, but find myself reaching for the Sony NW-WM1A nearly 90% of the time. I am running audioquest Nighthawk headphones with Surf Cables out of the balanced output. It just seems so much easier in the ears, and a little more musical.

Give it a week or two and it will be hisstory.
