Hello, is this the 2020 model?

Hi, in my best estimate, it's been used for no more than 200 hours. David.

Description: Final Audio Design Lab 1 (Lab i). Hardly needs an introduction. Limited series 150 worldwide. Constructed using 3D printed titanium and dual balanced armature driver. Sounds deep, warm, and robust with a great bass. The details are all present, but the sound NEVER breaks down...

Excellent condition, both functionally and cosmetically. I actually cannot find a flaw. Includes: All original packaging Dignis leather case (green). Shipping cost is buyer's responsibility. Paypal is 3% extra unless Friends & Family.

Ah, understood. A newbie mistake. I guess I'll find out eventually. Thank you.

Also, do MMCX connectors mean that I cannot use my Uber on Ref.1?   Thank you, David.

Hi, Gavin,   thank you for sharing the details.  Very interesting technologies used: 2-driver isobaric (first for an IEM, I suppose?) for more bass in a smaller enclosure, and filterless (!).   Any forecast on pricing?  I have to prepare to sell my 1+2 :).   Thank you, David.

Hi, burtomr,   Yes, I agree with the acoustics around the instruments -- very true.  Another one of Uber's virtues -- separation.    Much of the credit of my Uber acquisition goes to your comments -- I thank you (although my wallet doesn't). .  Truly a bucket-list worthy sound.

I finally got to listen to the Uber cable with my 1+2 last night (I bought lee730's Uber with the proceeds from selling my Kaedes).    It was not quite as thick as I imagined it based on the photos, but I can see why it can be delicate to handle (maintain a bend radius).   Anyways, the...

Ah, understood.  All the better.   Cheers! David.

  Hello, Burtomr,   thank you for your first-hand insights!  Yes, I've read that the Uber basically completes the 1+2.  But because of its price, I was trying to find other, cheaper ways to achieve an agreeable end result.  It turned out I had to buy $1000+ worth of electronics and $225 worth...

Hello,   it's Effect Audio Odin.  I've decribed it in the last few posts.   Regards, David.

  Thank you very much for the clarification!   I'm loving the Odin on my Tralucent!  

I guess it's kind of light grey -- almost white.    Thank you for the input!  I'll check out Compy T-500!

BTW, can anyone (hopefully Gavin at Tralucent) help me with my question?   I found that of all the tips that Gavin includes with 1+2, I like the white foam tips the best (shown below). Can anyone advise which brand and model these are, so that I can buy some spares?   Thank you, David.  

Well, well, well!  I have finally listened to Ciunas DAC and the Kojo KM01 through my 1+2!   I managed to DIY a VERY short wire connection between RCA outputs of the DAC and the 3.5mm input of the Kojo amp.  The 3.5-mm connector is a Supra MP-8 (gold-coated pure copper) with its shell removed...

Yes, I may be the minority here for not noticing the harshness of Kaede.   Hopefully with a new DAC (JK Ciunas) and amp (Kojo KM-01), I will have a better luck with the Tralucent.

Does anyone know if the Effect Audio Odin uses a solid-core conductor?  That was my initial impression (that's why I bought it for my Tralucent 1+2), but now I'm not sure...   Thank you, David.

Thank you for the great info!   Wow, learning new things about AA batteries!  Didn't know there are LiFePO4 batteries in AA sizes!  Neither did I know there are AA-sized "fillers"   The concern about the battery requirement was the reason I went with the Kojo KM-01, which just needs 1 AAA...

Hello,   does the Wagnus accept standard AA batteries (like Duracell)?   That would be an important consideration for me...   Thank you, David.

  Hi, thank you for your suggestion.    I also saw your comment in the Tralucent thread as well.  I will look into the Comply Ts series.   Regards, David.

  Quote:   Thank you for the advice.   In fact, I just got the Kojo KM-01 and the John Kenny Ciunas DAC.  Still need to get a good RCA-to-3.5mm cable.  I'm planning to DIY it (just bought the connectors online) A DIY usb connector using silver wires.  Still need to DIY RCA-to-3.5mm...

  Thank you for the suggestions.   I see I have much to learn.  I haven't yet tried the Ts series.  Does it still sound open, while smoothing the treble?  I am about to try the Monster Super Tips (just got them today) also.   A better DAC/Amp is next...  

Hello,   relatively new here, but I wanted to share a discovery I thought was very important.   I've been happily using Pico DAC/amp for the last 3 weeks or so.  What an impressive little amp!  It can drive my IEM's (Tralucent 1+2 with gold/silver cable, Ocharaku Kaede, and Fitear 334) to a...

Thank you for your suggestions.   Yes, I have been reading the Uber cable is the "cure-all" for the 1+2, and I believe it, too.  However...I find it hard to accept that a ~$1300 IEM needs a ~$1100 cable to consumate its potential...   If I ever find a used one for a half price, then maybe...
