Something was itching me in the past few months. I simply have too much reference-tuned stuff in my collection and have been wanting to try different colors. This is the first attempt of V-shaping my journey.

First impressions are positive. Good job FiiO on this one.

Cheers. :beers:

Yep, great eye! She’s our majestic 16-year-old purebred Maine Coon. She was waiting all morning for fresh boxes to arrive. She really likes Bowie and The Replacements.

KBEAR 16 Core Pure Copper Cable
MMCX, 1.2M, 2.5mm bal
For 7HZ Timeless

Wow, I’m sure I’ve never felt any cable this soft.

Something about the Timeless IEM conveys the emotion in music like no other. This new copper cable certainly retains or enhances that aspect.

Yeah, sometimes, or maybe oftentimes, all you want is a nice-feeling and looking cable. When somebody includes a really nice cable with their IEM, I get a good feeling about that IEM every time I put it on.

I had a similar reaction when the Linsoul Tropowin Zonie 16 cable I bought for my Campfire Satsuma IEMs arrived. I’m not sure how much a difference they make over the stock cables in terms of audio quality, but they are really soft and don’t have much, if any, memory.

God help me. I’ve taken the plunge….



Kinda going about this backwards…but got these first. Now I’m going to upgrade my gear tailored to maximize performance for the Susvara.

Honestly they sound pretty f*@#ng fantastic with my current setup. Bifrost2->V280. It’ll be cool to hear the change as I upgrade components.

Thanks to the guys at headphones.com. Everything about this purchase was awesome…super cool to deal with and shipping was stupid fast. Came home from work just in time lol… the FedEx guy was at the door.

Kinda want to call in tomorrow :thinking::shushing_face:

Congratulations!

What do you think your next amp and dac might be?

Thanks, only got about an hour of listening in but I’m blown away so far. Think I’ll be pretty happy till I save up for my next steps. Didn’t really expect it to be as good as it is off the V280.

Next step is going to be Spring3 kte with preamp. As far as an amp it’s not as firmly decided. Most likely Keces s300 or other speaker amp with good synergy (hence the Holo w/preamp) and I eventually want tubes, so Wa33 is where I’m leaning. Not sure I want to go that big $$$ wise though…we’ll see. Maybe a good used one will come up.

There doesn’t seem that there are all that many tube amps that are capable of driving Susvara well and they’re all high dollar.

That is all at least a year away though so I’ll probably change my mind a dozen times before I get to that point.

Those top left and right corners are deadly. Take great care reach past and behind them then dragging your arm or gear back out!
