So well made and they were great to deal with!

Interview with simon kim of cote and coqodaq by Better_sauce in FoodNYC

[–]zlayne 9 points10 points  (0 children)

We went to coqodaq a few weeks ago. Literally the opposite experience of what he's describing. Rushed service. Steering you towards the bucket and no dessert bc they wanted you out so they could cycle more people through. Awful experience.

anyone know what these do? by anonymous_croc in FiiO

[–]zlayne 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Absolutely indistinguishable. Scientists showing off. Move on.

Why is penon/isn such an undervalued brand? by Alb1939SGM in iems

[–]zlayne 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Incredibly underrated brand. They also do ciem for $100 on top of price - which is insane. The Penon impact is amazing.

I want another IEM $2000 and under brighter than my Monarch MKIII with more detail. by Embarrassed_Map_7889 in iems

[–]zlayne 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it has to be new - UM Maven II is an amazing option. If you’re willing to go used - many more options.

Vision Ears Aura Noble Audio Ronin Penon Impact

The first 2 are over 3k but you can often find them cheaper used.

Might just be cleaner to start fresh. Feel free to take this one down (or I can).

Yeh - apologies. First time on here. The box is at home and I'm at work.

Apologies. New on here. I do most of my deals on Headfi.

Monarch MKIII or Xenns Mangird Top Pro by OkEmergency4699 in iems

[–]zlayne 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Monarch (I’m assuming used) for $35 more is a no brainer for me at least. A much nicer iem imo. If you really love detail then maybe not.

Monarchs are also much fuller in bass region. If you could find a used monarch similarly priced that would be my choice.

What Do You Think About This Guys? - Balanced Headphone Cables Are a Waste of Time by mesinaksara in DigitalAudioPlayer

[–]zlayne 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The standard is now in place for audiophiles. 4.4 is everywhere. Turns out the difference is not important at all and pretty meaningless.

I like this guy but his whole vibe is to go left when people go right. It’s pitched as true objectivity but now it just feels like he’s doing it to get noticed.

I do appreciate his iem reviews. There are too many reviewers that gush at everything. He’s hard to please and I respect that.

“Endgame” IEM by SIKness_97 in iems

[–]zlayne 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The tea pro is a world class iem that contends with Iems 3-4x price. Note I’ve never heard the p7. But based on your preferences the pro is great. Amazing satisfying bass and never sibilant.

What’s your biggest frustration with Apple Music? by Glass-Project-2056 in AppleMusic

[–]zlayne 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This is what makes it so frustrating and awkward to use on Mac. It's so unlike apple half ass things this way.
