Finally it's here!!!! :D

This my third closed-back headphone. First few minutes of listening the bass stood out. It's much punchier and I can feel the boom when listening to high impact sound tracks. First impression it's better than my Audio Technical ATH-W5000 but not as good as my LCD-XC. It's a real beauty to look at, especially the woody and grainy purple heart cups!





Something sweeten this deal - about 2000 of these were offered during MassDrop specials and what's the chance I get one with the following serial number??

Sound improvement is there, high treble, better separation and more. Total damage is $295
That's quite reasonable, heck, even a Cardas Clear or Silver Dragon wouldn't be that unreasonable. Saw at HF that one guy had ordered a DHC Prion 4 cable for his HEK and I couldn't help but gasp.......that's a set of 1800USD cable! I certainly couldn't stomach such a purchase, that's for sure!

Another HF'er said that the buyer should expect a 'night and day' difference with that cable......oh yeah, for suret!:s8: I bought a set of cheap cable for my HEK simply because the stock HEK cables are simply too stiff, this 3rd party one I'd gotten is so much more pliant.

Was tempted to sell the gustard for a r2r DAC, decided to get a USB bridge to try out first since the outlay is much lower. Got my hands On the singxer Su-1 today.

What can I say? Right off the bat, I'm glad I didn't sell the gustard. Connected via HDMI( i2s) , the Gustard has noticeably better separation, a much blacker background and manages to sound more analogue yet having more micro details at the same time. There is way more depth to the music as well ( more layers to the music I Guess?)

Time to let it burn in! Maybe I'll do some minor mods to the gustard as well.

took the plunge and hoot this TY earbud 150ohm variance as the standard 32ohm is OOS...

i am WOW by the build and SQ...compare to ve monk plus (might not be fair as VE monk plus has 32 ohm while this TY Hi Z is 150ohm)..this little earbud can handle more genre of music...

although the space is a bit more tight than monk plus...but i guess some might like it..

just a side note as this is the first impression which the earbud has not burn in yet...open box straight plug into my onkyo dpx1..and WOW :p

Seems like quiet times in this subforum in general. Bad economy to blame?
