I ordered my Taihang on 20 May 2025. It arrived today 8 July 2025.
I have my entire front end, electrostatic speakers, and suwoofers plugged into it. Pass Labs monoblock amps are plugged straight into the wall, (each one on a dedicated line). The Taihang is on its own separate dedicated line also.
With only about two hours on it, everything sounds more fluid and effortless. Music sounds cleaner, but smoother and not at all edgy. Details are more pronounced but not brighter. I would not say it makes things warmer, but the mid-range does seem more present. Also, the bass seems tighter and more articulate. In fact, everything seems more articulate.
It’s almost as if everything is louder (even though the volume setting on my preamp reads the same), yet smoother and more coherent.
I look forward to how it sounds after being plugged in for 300 hours.
