Heir Audio Tzar 350: High Impedance Ivan

A couple of months ago, I bought the Heir Audio Tzar 350.

Having bought the custom Heir Audio 4.A just a year ago, I was very satisfied with Heir Audio’s level of build quality and customer service, both amongst the very best in the high-end portable audio industry. Their push for high-impedance IEMs was also very unique, and something that I’d been hoping for.

The ‘Tzar” line of Heir Audio universal in-ear monitors comes in two different flavors: the Tzar 90 and the Tzar 350. Since the Tzar 350 is the higher impedance version and the one noted to be the flatter of the two, I decided to purchase the 350.

Tralucent Audio T1 | Crisp, Powerful, Centered

Tralucent Audio is a new, Hong Kong-based audio outfit that has been making waves in the portable audiophile world. The brainchild of Gavin Chiu, a longtime audiophile, Tralucent’s mission in audio is to deliver the visceral realism of full-sized speaker systems to the world of portable earphones. Tralucent currently has two products in its lineup; the first is the 1Plus2, a universal in-ear monitor configured with a dynamic moving coil driver seated within a tuned acoustic cavity and a tiny dual balanced armature driver at the very tip of the earphone — hence the name “one plus two“. A review will be coming shortly. The second product is a portable amplifier, the T1.
