Very excited being selected to try these, they look wonderful. Now to keep my wallet hidden from me.
Thanks for the update Lee!

lol don't temp me . Do you have a USB power hub to plug into? I'm wondering if you PC will have enough power from the USB port to power the LX... I think it should lol. I'd rather bring less stuff .
just been looking at tralucents website and I obviously have a lot to learn about IEM's as I had always assumed that these boutique manufactures made their own drivers but i see they use a Knowles BA driver.
Is that generally the same for most boutique designers and their points of difference is the layout and tuning ?
Is Knowles the only other 3rd party manufacturer or are there plenty others ?
I think i just discovered a whole new field of technology to learn
There's a lot more than just Knowles. But Knowles seems to be quite popular in the Hybrid IEM designs. Even AKG is using a form of one in their AKG3003. So yea pretty much every manufacturer purchases drivers from various companies and tunes them to their own specifications. So far I think only Future Sonic makes their own drivers and produces the MG6 Pro which is a Dynamic Custom IEM not BA.
If I remember right Sony also decided to do everything in house when they were developing their XBA line.
Here's a read while we're awaiting the new revised 1Plus2 impressions soon to come. These are my thoughts on the T1 versus the Objective2 amp, which most should know that it is one of the top portable amps available.
Now there's the matter of power. The T1 can definitely 'drive' the LCD2s, but I can see that the O2 drives it better which is expected since the O2 isn't necessarily meant for IEMs, unlike the T1.

Yeah I agree the 1Plus2s presentation spells "realism" like you are there. This is even made more apparent with high end sources to power them properly (they scale extremely well and are like chameleons from source to source). That is why I am so hard pressed to believe it will get any better. I demoed the 334s and for sure I do not feel they are better than the first version of 1Plus2.
Look what we have here. Guess elnero gets his wish afterall .
