The waiting will give my bank account time to recover from the trauma of last month.
Long story, but property taxes suck in Omaha. We pay about 2% of the home value annually, and my home went up $60k in value since I bought it 2 years ago. That just means my hike was $1200, and I was already paying $5k. I had to pay the second half, or $3100. My taxes are more than my loan payments and homeowners insurance combined. This was on the same month our health insurance deductibles reset ( the year starts on July 1 ), my wife has issues, and her medical bills reflect that.
Sorry about the slow reply. I don’t do videos. I don’t actively do social media. I hear what I hear. I don’t hear what I don’t hear.
I can see the point of the video. I think there are very few people that think a cable will turn a sub-$100 into a “detail monster”. But, I like the single blind test.
Now, try the same test with the TSMR Sands with the original cable vs. the Penon Fan 1 or the Aria’s original cable.
As the test was regarding the Moondrop Aria, Moondrop has posted in the past on h**d-fi that, effectively, people would be better off buying a more expensive IEM (Blessing or Variations) then a cheap IEM (Aria) and buying an expensive after-market cable.
Just to clarify. The Aria is/was competitive in its price range. There was banter in the Moondrop thread a few years back where a poster wondered if upgrading the cable would make a significant difference with the Aria. Moondrop’s rep replied that a new cable may make a small difference but it was money better spent to put the money to be invested in a (IIRC), over $100 cable, into a higher tier IEM.
