Yeah, I may buy one for myself in the future. Will have to steal hers from time to time since we listen to the same music library.
I think if she can handle all the crazy spikes and sibilances of the FD5, sheāll be fine with the Olina. Her ears are more tolerant than mine in the highs
I strongly believe those were just samples that @hawaiibadboy selected the final design from, however I also dig blue one and would happily be wrong with this statement
Yeah, Tripowin is missing a matching cable, it would be nice with a Tripowin Altea cable but with black metallics and a non-resessed 2-pin connector. The alternate blackish shell would be sweet no matter what face plate they put on it, maybe they are saving it for a retune, different product, etc.
Agreed that black and white one looks like a monochrome ( that doesnāt exist ) EJ07M, which is also pretty cool. Any of them would have worked, but I am always partial to blue. I even paired a nice blue cable with my blue Mele.
looks like pedicureā¦fetish anyone lol mos def gonna buy if its releasing with a different tuning warmer sounding tuning I hope! It looks HOT so it makes sense to sound like it too
Oh my god those Olinas are gorgeous Iād love to see different colors or some slight retune to fix the brightness/harshness (basically just perfect the nozzle/filter?). Iām getting used to the pain the Olina rewards more than it punishes. Iāve noticed that my Olina is a magnet for gunk on the filter, waiting on the Tanyas. None of my other iems have this problem. Whatās up with Tripowin nailing everything else but the filters
Honestly, this sounds like fun. Yes listening to music is what itās all about, but this hobby is so much more. I kind of like how engaging the Olina is while music is playing but also when it isnāt. Modular (to some degree) beautiful, and they also sound great.
I just realized that the single ended stock cable is really limiting the true beauty of the mighty Olina, but bear in mind that this is my experience with my system so YMMV. And also two things has changed : the cable and balanced termination.
What changed? The sound become more effortless, microdynamics is better, macrodynamics is a bit better, still as musical, and now the sound feels like itās coming from a full size headphone or speakers. Itās quite an upgrade.
Even if you donāt have balanced system, I think itās still worthwhile to upgrade to an aftermarket cable. NiceHCK and XINHS have good cables for cheap. Mine is just $15 at ali.
I know Olina can scales up really well but it really surprised me how high Olina can go. Holy cow!
