    Totally agrees with all you pointed out. I just bought u12t and loving it just as much as when I auditioned it few years back.
    It even caught unexpected audio details in YOUR video!!
    Eg:
    Minutes 5:07 - Car honking sound makes me turned my head and rewind the video
    Minutes 5:26 - Starting to hear the airplane sound passing by on top of your room. Are you living near the airport? Lol

      People also say that 64 Audio is only for musicians to use on stages or in studios. Me as a person who doesnt understand tunings etc.. (I have no relationship with stages/musicians…) can I use U12T 64Audio for daily usage? Thank you
      Also, U12T or A8000 is better? People says that you cant enjoy with U12T get something like VE08? Is U12T really boring?

      @@kaankucuk1612 I don't own U12T, but I been demoing for a few time. They sound relax, calm, pleasant, gentle, maybe life like. Those are the word I can say find at them. They are not bass head. So you are warned. I use from my phone. Mate 9 pro. No issue. But to answer your questions about stage use or musician. I can say 95% who own iem not even both professional. We just love music, want to sound life like. But if you can demo them, it will be better. As they are not cheap. If you can find 2nd hand also is a good option in mind. Or find something cheaper, slowly go out. Cheers. Enjoy your music journey.

    I'm torn between the A12t and Campfire Solaris.

    Hi I've heard AK makes the most analytical and technical sound signatures. So I'm wondering how much of an upgrade is your sp 2000 over the kann alpha you have used until now? And do you plan buying the new monarch mk2 also?

    • @amplifyaudioreviews
      @amplifyaudioreviews  2 роки тому +1

      In my experience, the Kann Alpha and the SP2000T sound very clear, crisp, dynamics but wonderfully musical. I wouldn't say they are warm, but they are certainly not bright. I think certain DAPs like Shanling and Hiby have made warmer DAPs in the past, leading to the impression that A&K makes bright DAPs, which I don't think is the case. Not sure if I'll buy the MK2. Just got the EVO and considering getting a Trailliiii. :) :)

    There’s no BA timbre on it. If there is it means you aren’t used to the sound yet. Do you still like A8000 as much?

  • @nikolaygramchev
    @nikolaygramchev 2 роки тому

    I do not understand - the U12t is considered to have one of the best BA bass but also it is considered to have greatest detail retrieval. The bass is not fully on par with the Z1R but the detail is more. In the beginning you make a hint that it is not too tiresome due to detail, later you say it is a detail monster. So, please, clarify. And, does it play well only with the new AK dap?

    • @amplifyaudioreviews
      @amplifyaudioreviews  2 роки тому +5

      It is (a) detail monster (b) not tiresome due to detail because the overall presentation is relaxed (lower treble dip). It plays well with most sources. But the AK DAPs have a way of making veiled IEMs sound crisper and they also give a more authoritative bass, so I do think the U12t pairs well with the AK DAPs.

      @nikolaygramchev Рік тому

      @@kaankucuk1612 According to me, the Z1R may have only one issue - fit. Some people complain about the fit, me - not. The U12t has only one strength over the Z1R and that is detail retrieval. Z1R is very very good with detail retrieval but the U12t is a smidge better. But for all the rest Z1R is quite better - less cost for greater and premium accessories, greatest bass ever, airy presentation, biggest iem sound stage. Check reviews by others also - there are direct comparisons.
