Custom Art kit has arrived from @dleblanc343 :) This will be an interesting week! Very curious how the Fibae 5 compares to U4s.- Zmue

Ooo, this is exciting; been dying to try the Loki. Novus will also be pretty cool, will definitely be comparing my notes from my Raven demo. :)- Zmue

Great to hear all is well Rockwell! Please add me to the VE/AK Tour, I was pretty pleased with this when I got a chance to demo it for a few minutes but the EXT really stood out to me at the time. Is there any news on the Loki tour for Canada? Been most curious about this one!- Zmue

Hey Damz! Adding to what you’ve said here between these two, how would you compare Raven & Anni with Loki Emerald? These three have been on my top 5 list to pick from going into this year (7th Acoustics Asteria being at the top but that’s probably not till this summer at best) and the itch to...- Zmue

Hey @Rockwell75! I am curious about joining these tours, my name is James from Mississauga, ON. I was little unsure if I should ask given my minimal history of posting activity on Headfi though I am very active lurker and on various discord servers as @smue and in CannuckAudioMart. I have no...- Zmue

Hi Watercoolers, looking for advice again! Looking at some warmer IEM's to compliment U4s and Crimson (love my mid-bass thickness) and am currently deciding between RN6 and VE EXT (I have decided XE6 is a bit TOO much lower mids, so it's not on list anymore) and I have actually gotten an...- Zmue

Precog's IEM Reviews & Impressions
Hi Precog, was curious on your thoughts on how you would rank Volur in your list. I enjoy your list thoughts. :) Ended up demo’ing it recently amongst a few other 64’s and came away with mixed feelings. It’s does seem pretty technically impressive, particularly in the mid range and bass...- Zmue

Symphonium Crimson - Impressions and Reviews (The Next Standard)
It’s intentional; I think Symphonium are trying to prove a point to some extent, that driver count marketing is a meme(?). They want to see how people receive it on its merits without driver count bias maybe. It’s just a guess cause otherwise I’m not too certain either.- Zmue

Symphonium Crimson - Impressions and Reviews (The Next Standard)
Local star, Nymz, has a great initial impressions review and rates it pretty close to U12t (which is his highest ranked along with Anni 2023). Seems like a U12t with some extra “spice”. Also take a look at his ranking list. :3...- Zmue

Rank the IEM's you've heard
Would love to pick your brain on comparisons with the U4s. I really love it, it fixed some of issues I had with the U12t. Would you look at both as different enough to warrant keeping them both for flavor? Also -slightly- worried about thin/lean midbass, would these come across as more lean...- Zmue

Symphonium Crimson - Impressions and Reviews (The Next Standard)
Pretty excited for your review on this! Decided to take the plunge on this pre-order despite having limited info, but given Symphonium's prior releases and the fact that they (along with Nightjar & Subtomic) just seem like a good group of dudes that consistently make high-quality sets, I didn't...- Zmue

I noticed you had Svanar as well! Super curious at how you’d compare the two!- Zmue

Yup, agree with everything on the U12t. It definitely had something special in the technical chops but I always ended up being disappointed at the dull presentation in songs where the bass wasn’t really being utilized. U4s really fixed that for me even if the mid range felt a step down, espy...- Zmue
