Yes, of course.

The first order is the CIEMs which from the beginning of my journey to the CIEM world I always wanted to have i.e. Spiral Ear 5way. Peter is doing a remold of 5ways.

The second order will be Harmony 8 Pro in acrylic shell.

Now you already got two of my best CIEMs~

In the future I'd like to see Custom Art switch to the new cables Cosmic Ears is using.  Any reason that wouldn't be a good idea (aside from incompatibility with some after market cables)?

I assume that you are talking about Linum cables. I don't think there is any incompability as there are 2-pin versions of Linum cable so you can simply buy yourself such cable to your pro330 (of course if your pro330 are with detachable cable).

Are you guys related or the same person? Tupac Shakur fan born 03/06/1996 who loves old skool hip hop and high end CIEMs?

 

[shakur1996]

Haha, no. I was born 15 years earlier The date in my nick refers to the year of assasination of 2Pac.

 

[tupac0306]

and I was born 9 years earlier

Wouldn't there theoretically be SQ differences between a acrylic & silicone Harmony 8 Pro?
 
tupac, didn't you say that you can only get the kind of bass performance that the H8 pro has from silicone?
Would you say that the H8 Pro is just as transparent, clear, & detailed as your NT6 & SE5?

Good thought and since I do (now) have detachable cables I'll look for one.  However I also like the concept of the new connectors which don't degrade rapidly from being disconnected and reconnected like 2 pin cables are know to do.

Yes, IMO the silicone sort of helps bass in h8p Speically in sustain, decay and even the depth IMO, very natural and real.

I have the numbers in the chart. Nothing is as clear as nt6, and h8p isn't as detailed as se5.

But H8p presents music in another way, there is a great combination with warmth, fullness and clarity. It sounds open, clean and dynamic!

Transparency is great also

So it is warm & full sounding while being able to retain an expansive / free feeling soundstage?

Basically yes~ However the vocals are not presented like SE5 (which is in front of you). H8P still has more of in your head vocals.

I can't say much because I could probably infringe on my MOT status.
I tested Linum almost one year before it entered market and had my reasons to stick with standard 2pin standard. As said before you can still use the 2-pin Linum, I can even get you one if you wish but this is not our standard for monitor accessories.

I appreciate the response though it creates a  bit of a 'why not' mystery.  At the same time I respect your expertise which means the reasons are likely good.

Well, from what I can glean from the cable's own thread: http://www.head-fi.org/t/719062/review-estron-linum-bax-new-iem-cable-for-a-new-age

Seems to alter the sound a bit too much for some.. not in a good way.
Suspect this is to do with the fact that these wires are so slim and as they measure and report fairly major differing values for each variant, that these have a quantifiable change of sound.
 
Just my 2c.

No surprises here, it's just higher resistance than the thick braided cables that folks post around here.  Much higher than what's out there, don't see why you would go so high for iems given you want to get a DAP with less output impedance(contradictory).  It's like the opposite of what some do that get high awg cables. It's just adding more resistance to path like a source resistance.  Depends on how your BA would react to added resistance and if you prefer the drop off at where the cable resistance comes close to the frequencies where it drops low.
