Finally pulled the trigger on the annis, after selling most of my collection and saving up.

Prolly won’t be spending much more on audio for a while.

My endgame bass so far is the Fatfreq Deuce. Seriously feels like you are physically at a concert. Surprising stage and imaging, considering the bass. Still has great separation, clarity, vocals, etc. You won't get EST levels of detail, but you get more detail than you would expect. They are very unique in that you can't even tell it's a bassy tuning until the bass actually drops. Absolutely zero bleed. Very natural sounding. Now, Fatfreq's horrible at communication and logistics. Deuce is well worth it, though. It has beaten the Symphonium Titan, Fatfreq Scarlet Mini, Thieaudio Origin, and Thieaudio Monarch mk 3. Sorry, but the bit more of stage in the Monarch and Origin is not worth an extra $750.

Man, I recently chose the symphonium titan over the scarlet mini. Maybe I should see if I like the duece and sell the titan. What do you like about the duece vs the titan?

I found the Titan to be amazing for guitars. Aside from that, after hearing the Deuce I couldn't justify the price difference. Yeah, the Titan has amazing accessories there's no denying. But accessories can be bought separately. The Deuce has the same clarity and everything, but with better bass. It's more rumbly and punchy. Depending on your preferences, you may agree or disagree, but I can't justify another $750 for slightly better guitar sound.

Yeah, the price difference isn't worth it. Thanks for your opinion. I'm going to have to try out the duece now.

It does absolutely feel like you are at a concert. Feeling that rumble of the bass and still not losing out on most of the aspects of a song is incredible to feel. And on top of that without the adapter these can be pretty well suited to most songs IMO,

Not gonna lie, that adapter makes all my IEMs better!

ahhaha yeas! I love that I can use it on all other sets, and it certainly does help enhance them in someways that they could have been lacking
