I will also admit this one is tricky due to the driver sizes. The general idea is there, but the graphs are harder to understand as we are accustomed to 10mm DD.
The R1 is one of my favorite budget sets. Even full price they are usually $80, and beryllium tends to generate satisfying bass texture. It is a bit warm, but not as dark as the Explorer ( which is smoother ). Occasionally the timber is a bit off.
It is a sweet set, more of a long burn to get recognized. Maybe because Artti was new and released too many sets and it got lost in the mix. R1 and T10 seem to have stuck around.
@@PaulWasabii the R2 was meh to me, but I had issues with the nozzle angle. The other underappreciated $80 set was the Kailua, which had been $30 on Linsoul.
Nicely Done. Maybe I missed this in the video but is the R1 a medium to small size nozzle ? any chance you measured it ? Any word on the mod for this ? Thanks
They are decent for the money, but I have always wanted to see a graph of its THD, I suspect that their "analog-like" sound is a product of relatively high THD at high frequencies.
The new Delci AE is going to be close because they cut the upper mid down to prevent flattening the stage and added some air so it sounds bigger. If you are really into soundstage and imaging, you should learn to EQ for your ears and how you perceive stage.
Maybe. That set doesn't have many reviews which is strange. Typically if a brand isn't marketing it, probably better off waiting. Sometimes those sets are for sale globally, but marketed more in different regions.
