Oh sorry.
Comparison
KL is Tea2 true upgrade, and it is better on every aspect but 3D mojo, where to my HRTF the Tea2 have an hair more. The mids/vocals are more “in your face” on the KL (especially resin version).
Bass dynamics better on the KL due to DD vs BA mid-bass and the Shuoer’s DD is of better quality.
Tea feels a touch darker on the upper harmonics and cymbal decays, where the KL has a touch less sparkly sparkly and air.
Verdict:
Rec’d both.

I did that review during a full working day - I could just not stop writting about the Olina.
I guess I was not wrong as it passed the test of time so far. Can’t wait for the SE.
Glad I got some of you in. Hope I still make every of you happy and your wallets sad.

Agreed, Olina was brighter than I was expecting, but still one of my favorites. I am curious to hear the refined version of it.
I recently unpacked from a move, and the three on my desk are the OG Tea, Olina ( double stock filter ), and Kai. I am listening to the Olina as I type this.

Great picks. I have yet to critical listen to Kai (was waiting on Mele to arrive). But i did enjoy its bass on first pass

Have fun having to nitpick, on Kai and Mele. While I think there’s a clear enough upgrade, I think the differences are very much on an “ear-by-ear” basis.

For me the website is perfect… Simple, clean and directly to the point!
Congrats!

Yeah, I will be connecting them to the same source and just switch on and on. Im expecting better bass on Kai and more vocal presence on Mele, if I had to guess after 2min passages.

unfortunate channel imbalance in the Tangzu
It’s a planar, basicly common by now.

First impressions of the TANGZU Wu Zetian
Used: Couple of tracks of my usual playlist, Topping L30 and Singxer SA-1, Spinfit CP100, stock cable 3.5mm.
No A/B done whatsoever.
Notes:
- Scratch Mahina/Dioko. This is is my new favourite storage case!!!
- Cable looks good, feels good. Wish I got the 4.4mm version.
- Probably the hardest to drive planar so far - Good luck with your power is a meme gifs.
- Best bass in stock format across the planars I’ve tried (elevation and taticality).
- Shows indication of a good stage depth.
- Imaging seems above average .
- Some 3D mojo on Bubbles by Yosi.
- Sharp transients (got timeless vibes).
- Treble is controlled but still hot. Maybe not as offensive as S12 in the mid/upper regions. Closer to Hook-X by memory. Uses the bass to compensate.
- Mids seem recessed but saved by the resolving power - not great but not bad at all - needs more testing.
- Vocals are forward. Female > Male. Male lack bite.
- Planar timbre.
- I wouldn’t use it for Classical or Jazz.
- I refused to memorize its name so from now on I’ll call it TWZ or WZ.
Verdict: Contender to be my favourite planar so far.

Why so funny? Is it that big of a step up from 7hz/s12? 
It’s funny because
A) I did the same mistake as HBB after watching his video;
B) 50$ dollars make a huge difference on its competition so ence the rec.
