Thanks for comparing your dongles. I ordered ru7, it has more power. You use additional amplifier, maybe cayin ru7 can work better without it?😊 Do you hear a significant difference with and without nx7 amplifier on balance connection?
Friendly Suggestion: Food for Thought - Not sure if any reviewer out there has really discussed which qualities to look for, or certain genres are most suitable when deciding on a config of Tribrids (DD+BA+EST) vs. Hybrids (DD+BA) vs. Pure BA's. Especially comparing the Best Bang for Buck Value in the Mid-Fi ($500 - 1000) to Lower Hi-Fi ($900 - $1500). I think it's helpful for budding audiophiles in the hobby for a year or 2. Now saving up for that next level performance. But want to get the best value for their money. P.S. Enjoyed the recent discussion in Mike's discord about this topic. Just want to see if we can take this topic to even greater lengths! Many Thanks 😄
Interesting topic.....perhaps I'll ask guys to share with me what they like when they are listening to certain genres ...what must IEM have or be capable of if you listen to: Rock R&B Classic Jazz
@@akros9333 Love to hear your personal top 5 - 10 between $500 - $1500 if you don't mind. 🙏Many Thanks to you to find out Plunge's Unity. Now on my Wish List. Curious to know from you what other top choices to consider in this price range. Cheers! 😀
@@akros9333 Found your Plunge video. You also mentioned about DTE900 and Penon's Volt. So these 3 is probably in your top 10 at the moment? Along with Butastur and SR8? In terms of Best Value for TOTL Performance. Sorry I don't mean to spam. But just recently come across your channel I'm genuinely impressed with your body of work and expertise.

@@akros9333 Thank you sir! Not in any particular order I assume? Out of that list which ones which sets would you go for Hip Hop and Metal/Hard Rock? Personally, I prioritize Male Vocals. Electric Guitars. Drums, etc. I will go look for each of those sets in your channel and watch. Many Thanks!
Hi Akros, i need a help with my Blon Blo3, i removed nozzle filters because of sound not level form one side, and i lost the filters, I'm using foam inside the nozzle, but sibilance is high, could you please give me a fix for reducing Sibilance, and I can't order from AliExpress because it's was banned in my country, and stores in my country don't have any nozzle filters in stock.
Nice review!, if you can pick only one IEM among Soundrhyme SR8, Mangird Top, Night Oblivion Butastur, Dunu SA6MK2 then which one would be your pick for yourself?
i think if you give simple paper notes, with name and price on every iem there, it will be much more easier for newbie like me, and also easier for you to explain also you dont have to use any editing software for it
Really enjoy your discussion on how the Nezha stacks up to the higher end BA kings. Didn't know about Butastur and SR8 until now! Curious to know your personal top 3 - 5 Tribrids (DD+BA+EST) around $1000 or below. That can really challenge the TOTL sets that costs 2, 3 or even 5 times. In lieu of the pending release of HBB's Jupiter. 😅
Thanks for adding the model names!!!!
Thanks for this, very exciting! Could this be the beginning of the age of cheap chinese ESTs (not magnetostats)? Will 2024 really be that year?
The first proper review of the Nezha. Was looking forward to this!
Maybe one follow up question I have would be how does this compare with the Aful Performer 8? Since their price range are quite similar?
Been waiting for this one

Tony have you considered publish your preference frequency response curve? And Ranking list?

How does the Nezha compare to the Variations?
Geat video! How would you compare AFUL Performer8 to the Nezha? Thanks!
Tony, im running penon serials. Would the neza beva lateral move or a upgrade? I listen to mainly heavy metal . Thanks brother
Thank you for the review. Just wondering how you would compare this to the Aful Performance 8.
Good Review... Nicely done... Thank you...
tried it and its a great set if you able to have a great seal. i think the nozzle is slightly short.

Hmmmmm tough decision......I would go Butastur!!
i think if you give simple paper notes, with name and price on every iem there, it will be much more easier for newbie like me, and also easier for you to explain
also you dont have to use any editing software for it
Thank you for the suggestion
Fully agree that would be a deciding point for all iem users 🎉🎉🎉
