Buying a set for personal stash. gotta get in line
Iām getting the feeling that every item on Linsoul these days is a pre-order. Thatās convenient for them to keep inventory costs down but not so much for us buyers
Seems to be industry standard
Canpur was a 3 month wait
Asteria is still in the ether
HEX is a 10 build a month set
I just bought a Hifiman Stealth modified with a Cayin tube amp because waiting and lack of innovationā¦and waiting more
Howās that HE1000 been treating you so far? Itās been my main headphone for a while now. By far one the most pleasant Hifimans Iāve hear so far. Bass still isnāt as fun as the HE6v2 though.
Iāve been eyeing Cayin tube amps for a while now, but none of my trusted local sellers carry them⦠Maybe Iāll have to cough up the cash to go to High End Vienna next year then.
Thatās the problem when living on the continent isnāt it (I seem to remember you live on continental Europe as well, apologies if Iām wrong of course)? There are not that many stores around that sell headfi products and those that do carry a limited selection.
Yep, Iām from Belgium.
Most local dealers in Belgium and The Netherlands are being squeezed by DuneBlue.
They donāt like dealers that carry brands other than the ones they import and are an absolute menace to deal with to my knowledge.
Headphone auditions in Amsterdam is one of the very rare exceptions that have the balls to do their own thing to my knowledge. (Itās a 400km round trip for me)
I enjoy the stealth more than the Susvara. I think comfort is a part and new toy bias. Really impressive set. I got the HP and amp for 2k with all the Kimber cables and the gorgeous grey one. Happy camper over here
Sounds like racketeering and mob tactics
Yep, thatās how they pushed out most competition. Almost every local dealer has the same line-up at the same prices these days.
Glad to hear old age hasnāt caught with my memory yet Didnāt know Dune Blue was that bad (quite disappointing to hear). Have yet to go and visit Headphone Auditions but that is, to be honest, primarily because I donāt like Amsterdam as a cityā¦
That cable is definitely beautiful.
Iāve been at a festival, the opposite of trainingā¦
Back to it tomorrow. But untill then, me and the Mrs. need to finish this long weekend with a big hangover BBQā¦
