The OG Turii is still one of the best single-dynamic IEMs I've ever heard. I wonder how close to the OG does this new "Twilight" get.
There are differences between them in terms of sound signature. The Twilight is much more focused on nuanced mids. Good treble extension. Plus a nice bass kick when called for. Hence, a good complement, in my view to the Turii and the Turii Ti. In terms of sense of control, precision and accuracy, all are excellent. But the differences are really in the tonality and focus.As it's not differences in sound signature that make up for the difference in prices between the three. What does in your opinion guys?
When I got the Turii, coming from only sub$500 DDs, I was struck by the sense of control, precision and accuracy I was getting from it. And it's still the only one I call The Metronome today despite having bought a bunch of $500-1000 ones in the meantime. Are there significant differences between the three Softears DDs on that kind of metrics, do you think?
OG Turii's gestalt, even against $2000+ iems, is impressive. It's my wanna be near field playback reference. Erlkonig/Phonix mids and treble with Solaris's bass profile. Very fast DD with a large soundstage for a single DD. Isolation could be better but also part of its air and charm. I don't know if I'd change anything, honestly.As it's not differences in sound signature that make up for the difference in prices between the three. What does in your opinion guys?

Now that SoftEars is carried by MusicTeck in the US, you will get the opportunity to try the Twilight. It is still opening up. As I was listening to it last night before bed, the mids were certainly opening up and is getting more layered.OG Turii's gestalt, even against $2000+ iems, is impressive.

OK, the stock cable has to go to clean up the treble and the fit is not for everyone, but otherwise, (chefs kiss)
I don't hear the OG as having all that much bass. It is the most reserved monitor I have bass wise. And I am by no means a bass head and can't stand huge overwhelming bass that slants the signature. RSV and RS10 have more bass presence, for example. Turii has a slight mid-bass bump but rolls it off and is still all about the mids primarily. At least how I hear it.
I'd love to hear Twilight and the Ti some day to compare.

It's the Satin Audio Athena you're using with the Turii?You can try some cable rolling for better treble. I love silver/silver palladium on Turii. Deeper bass extension and more treble clarity.
