Description

Te Kaitora means "The Discoverer" in the language of the NZ Maori people, Rua, is "the second version". Dynavector's original Te Kaitora cartridge was the result of collaboration between Dynavector Japan and Dynavector New Zealand. The Te Kaitora allowed analogue enthusiasts to embark on a voyage of discovery to the outer limits of vinyl reproduction. The improved Te Kaitora Rua continues the journey by incorporating many of the newest features of its Dynavector stable-mates, the XV-1s and XX-2. The Te Kaitora Rua has even managed to improve on the original's silk-like treble and openness.

I’m extremely impressed with the Cayin HA-300B Mk3. It has a powerful, refined presentation with excellent dynamics, pairs beautifully with all my headphones, and is remarkably quiet. I can comfortably say this is the first tube amp I’ve owned where I didn’t feel the immediate urge to start tube rolling!

Nick was excellent on my order. I placed an order then changed it while he ascertained availability and timeframe for shipping. He shipped it to me asap once he received it. Nick is customer focused, an increasingly rarity in today’s world. Highly recommended.

Amazing headphones, you did it again Noble! Also, dealing with Nick from Noteworthy Audio https://www.noteworthyaudio.com/ was like icing on the cake 🍰

Just picked up the Cayin iHA-8 from Nick at Noteworthy Audio, and this one really surprised me.
I’m running the iHA-8 with my HIFIMAN HE6 Remastered, and I already had the SPL Phonitor XE, so I honestly wasn’t expecting the iHA-8 to make much of a difference. After spending some time A/B’ing them, though, I ended up preferring the iHA-8 with the HE6 Remastered. It has the power, control and dynamics to really wake up the HE6, and in my system it actually beats the SPL XE.
What impressed me just as much was the buying experience. This is my third purchase from Nick at Noteworthy Audio, and once again everything was absolutely smooth. I’m in Vancouver, and the shipping was ridiculously fast "overnight on Saturday". Honestly, it arrived faster than some things I’ve ordered from Amazon. 😂
And I wouldn’t limit that recommendation to Canadian customers. If you’re anywhere that Noteworthy Audio can ship to, I’d definitely consider giving Nick a shot. Great gear, great service, and incredibly fast shipping.
Overall: 5/5 from me. The Cayin iHA-8 is an excellent match for the HE6 Remastered, and Nick at Noteworthy Audio has once again delivered a first-class buying experience. Three purchases in, and I’ll definitely be back for the next piece of audio gear. Highly recommended, whether you’re in Canada or ordering internationally.

Very responsive service. They replied to my phone inquiry while in Italy.

Good service. The Chorus amplifiers have really punched up the mid-base.

Fast service.

At first I had my doubts, but once I included the LAIV uDDC in the chain to my LAIV Harmony DAC, I did hear more clarity and punch in the bass frequencies. It was a surprising tweak to the system.
