That's alright. I really do hope they have that option in the future. Could be a pretty neat look (half and half with the two abalones)

Could anyone confirm that you can get the blue abalone for custom IEM? I see mother of pearl and what looks to be (although still beautiful, not my preference) abalone. Might even be cool to do left faceplate in blue abalone and right in normal abalone if that option exists

What tip have you been using so far?

Damn, I wish that cable deal lasted longer. I also wish I listened to the U12t so that I had something to reference your impressions to. My friend mentioned the U12t treble was too smoothed for him. But I don't know what his taste is compared to mine. I think a perfect iem freq for me would be...

Just out of curiousity, could you explain why?

Haha, fair enough. How does the treble quantity between the U12t and A18S compare ;)

Wow, been awhile since I've been in this thread. My friend just got a U12t, Z1R, and Voyager 14 and has mentioned that airiness and treble extension on the U12t is not quite an the level of the Voyager. Out of curiosity, how does the A18S treble compare in terms of airiness and extension to the...

Amped with tubes?

A receiver isn't gonna be near enough what you need for these...

I'm really sad about this price increase. I won't be participating when I know you can get a HD650 for maybe 10-20 dollars more on black friday sales

That's pretty interesting. I didn't read any of the comments and it's been about 2 months since I've listened to my opus. Noticed instantly. Personally, I like the change since my U10 has slightly recessed mids without the impedance adapter. I'm now wondering if I need it at all now

Anyone else noticing sound differences from the new firmware? It's been some time since I've used my mobile rig, but it seems like vocals have come forward, a welcome thing for my 64 Audio U10

My friend had a great time at canjam. He's just dipping the toes with headphone audio (I convinced him to get the HD6XX), but he was extremely impressed with the Atticus. He enjoyed the Eikon as well with classical (in his words, stellar and one of the best referenceish type songs at the show)...

Half the price of the Z1R and better sounding. I call that a win

Wow, that's exactly how I felt. The tracks on the Sony DAP were mostly acoustic, so I didn't even get a real feel for the bass, but it was just so non special. I ended up stopping listening to it because I just didn't feel into it at all. I'm big on vocals, but listen to a lot of vocal trance...
