Eye watering price
Yes, I hope to try something like this somedayā¦
Yeah, same. I hope one day I can justify spending more than $1k on a set.
I think thatās why I cruise around on these forums rather than over there on Head-fi. All those guys are rocking $10k + in IEMs alone and Iām over here like thatās ā¦. Thatās as much as my car is worth.
The dude a week or 2 ago selling like $15k in gearā¦
Could NOT be me
Buddy, some of these dudes arenāt in audio as their hobby, itās actually spending money.
I have a riddle for you allā¦
Guess the thing,
That makes U12T sound amazing,
Has no interface,
And that drives me crazy.
Micro USB for charging,
Color blind canāt use it.
Iāll end up complaining,
While wiping my ears to it.
Fuck.
Yes, chord is ridiculous in their design decisions sometimes. Though I love how this form factor of mojo
Did you demo it? I wonder if you cant pick a difference on this one
No, but had mojo 1 in hand and it felt substantial (like dense, solid - all good features).
My guess is probably not - I only heard a difference when I was using shitty usb daÄ dongle CX31993 - all the rest DAPs, DACs, dongles are more or less same for me.
I am not saying they do not differ for someone trained, but that I donāt hear the difference even when ABing. The only time I think I hear difference to be honest is when I am during a long listening session on new device and at some points I THINK some parts of songs donāt sound as dynamic as on previous. But quick switch back to the 1st source verifies this belief most of the time
Edit: it may be like drinking wines, whisky, teas etc where you need to train a lot to start to see and appreciate the differences. But for all of that I am also not patient enough to get there - I also piss off my sommelier friends with my ignorant statements that I donāt feel a difference between 4ā¬ and 30ā¬ Riesling it is only with coffee, that I spent enough time - but it is substantial beverage to keep me alive everyday
Coffee>sources !
Haha, for real I am sure that listening to same IEM before and after a cup of coffee makes much more difference in the sound perception than changing from any source to any other
I always wonder who is supporting A&K by buying their overpriced products so they can continue to exist selling overpriced products.
I never did. Can you send me good links for me to check out? (not youtube pls )
Are two great contenders, yes I have both on my desk and I love both. (I decided to keep EXS)
Tea2 have more bass and a different presentation, not as mid-heavy as the Oracle OG. I like both, but I need to know more about you really looking for
I should do the same lol
I don`t know. I guess there are people who buy them. And maybe they are good?! Iām curious to hear them though. Their new IEMs looks promising.
How about this one here?
Edit: shit I hope it will take you to the link too Search internet archives for it they have 320kbps and up I believe.
Nothing they makes outperforms anything a third of the price or less that Iāve tried. Case in point their DAPs. Iāve used at least two. One of them actually sounded distinctly bad to my ears.
Just the old guard of āmaybe people will connect our pricing with performanceā going strong even in todayās market.
I always did the opposite.
Am I doing it wrong?
