@mozartfan, i have big experience, with Tang Band, 1808 with Neodim magnet is garbage , they got cone break and big pick 3000-5000Hz. i use a lot and replaced with 2145 regular magnet, 2145 came on production later the 1808 and get much more bettter paper cone with bamboo fiber. so come stronger them 1808, result - very small pick, after removing parasitic whizzer cone and adding supertweeter Fostex and adding 2 Eton Simphony line woofers as helper , i got model Tribeca-001 with a lot a happy customers
Tang Band 8 vs DavidLouis VX8
TB has this **pill** neo dymium magnet system,, like the VoxAC1A.. I was not impressed.
Whereas the DLVX8 has a solid 1 pice Nd magnet system.
I just asked the DL seller, he confirmed my guess, the TB is not up to same level of quality as his DL VX8.
I just wrote and asked him if the VX8 is in fact Nd.
His listing for the VX6 says **Nd*,,so its my guess since both magnets look the same build, I'm guessing its Nd.
+ big bonus, the DL comes it at just under $500, TB is $640.
The DL just looks superior build.
Arrives next week, late due to GHL's ship is behind.
