Just buy Fission. A cleaner/less warm LM, smoother EA1000 (fermats a little more resolving), very balanced, clean, and neutral sound. Very tough competition. Jays Audio Youtube Channel
Tanchjim Origin reviewed by: Precogvision
Japanese flavor of tuning (mid-bass and upper-mid focus) finally done justice. Strong technical chops and slightly forward. Precogvision Youtube Channel

Tanchjim Origin reviewed by: Gizaudio Axel
Smooth, detailed, and vocal-centric sound. Cohesive, vocal-focused tuning with dynamic bass, smooth extended treble, and excellent detail. Could use more sub-bass.Gizaudio Axel original ranking
