Thanks again @ToneDeafMonk for your video gushing about the Himalaya.
You saying that you preferred it over the Softears Twilight is what tipped the scale.
Very, very glad I pulled the trigger on this one.
After modding (Gold EA1000 nozzle, black foam and 500 mesh) this IEM is absolutely amazing!
Cheers Disco Very Crew!!

The wait is finally over—sooner than expected, though.

TRN has officially launched the Medusa on AliExpress for $49.99. With this coupon, you can get it for $37.99 $29.99, here you go: Code-KYVMAVXEFOJU.

As of now, the TRN Medusa is the most expensive IEM in the TRN Aquatic Series. However, this price is reasonable considering that it features a second-generation 12mm DLC driver (compared to the Conch, which had a first-generation 10mm driver). Speaking of the Conch, the Medusa shares all the accessories previously bundled with it. These include an aluminum case, three sets of TRN T-tips, three sets of standard TRN tips, and a pair of foam tips. Additionally, the Medusa comes with the new TRN Sea Serpent modular cable, a new iteration of the RedChain modular cable (both QDC). Unlike the RedChain, which is a mix of silver-plated copper and oxygen-free copper, the Sea Serpent is fully silver-plated (currently priced at $20 on AliExpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005007036086908.html).

Funny thing: I was prepared to buy the Medusa right away, but TRN contacted me, saying I won the giveaway they held months ago, since I guessed right its official price based on the photo they provided. I still can’t believe it! Lately I’ve been a giveaway machine—first the Merga, and now the Medusa. Maybe I should consider investing in the lottery...

As a side note, the tuning looks very promising too!

So, here are some images from AliExpress: (there are some others too, but I’ll just stick to the following because I don’t want to take up too much space!)

After coupon and coins, this came to just over $32 shipped.
Including the modular cable made it where I couldn't resist.
Especially for that price.
Thanks for the heads up.
Very Disco indeed!

I wonder how accurate that graph is. That treble goes downhill fast after 6k.

Thanks, with the coupon I went ahead and checked out. A offer I could not refuse and this Medusa looks awesome.

Today has been a productive day. Ordered the KZ x Angelears Libra as well.

https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256806776127301.html

I have a lot of soul searching to do on my next purchases as I am not likely to get all but there is the Pilgrim, Simgot SM4, EM10 and Davinci. Already did some damage with the Drop X Grell OAE1 and Verum 2 (I'm just in it for a good product).

So much talk about this $75 Single DD I will have one incoming 😉
I reckon you'll f*cking love it. I think it's your kind of tuning, Monk. Mine, too!

The Delci is excellent with rock. Hell, it's good with all genres. I don't listen to NEARLY as much new gear as you cats, but the Delci is my favorite release of 2024 so far.

Stock tips suck, though -- far too flimsy. So, as Morrison sang in "Roadhouse Blues," "Let it roll, baby, roll." :)

Glad to have you back and active. You're really making up for lost times with a brand new IEM every other day it seems lol.

IT'S COBRA SZN!

Bro, I LOVE that pic.
Mind if I use that as my avatar?
And yes. I was dormant earlier this year but getting back in the groove!

I am currently considering if I should snag an iBasso DC-Elite to round out my portable DAC collection with a ROHM based chip...

I’ve only had it for a couple weeks, but the DC-Elite is serious business. I legit have no need for my budget desktop stack anymore.

It sounds crazy good. I want to get a portable amp to scale it at some point but for right now; it drives everything I have with ease, and then some on top. Super dynamic, while still having a clean presentation. It’s really somethin.
