Tin Hifi T4 Reviews
Like C3 with slightly better technicalities. Fit on C3 is better. Can't really justify the price increase over C3. Previously Owned
Comment: Neutral and inoffensive. Decent tuning Limited by technical performance
Solid tuning and technical chops for the price, not much to complain about here. Precogvision Youtube Channel
