I'm in the UK, the official retailer has the SE discounted to £1500, the OG solaris discounted to £1250 and the OG Andro to 900 or something.

very nice, will definitely go this route if I decide against the CIEM version

I remember your post from last mon Th, how did you end up getting the Anole VX in the Uk?

Found qdc’s official retailer in Japan, they seem to have a discount on their products at the moment, can’t read japanese though: https://www.mixwave.co.jp/c_audio/c_news/caudio_news19092603.html

I’m there to demo not to buy

This guy compares the LCD4 with the 1000v2, which is basically the Arya.

I like well built things, big fan of watches, Japanese craftsmanship etc. That being said, the Arya provides a level of sound quality which can't be found unless you're willing to pay at least $500 more. As much I love the aesthetics of something like the LCD4, the value for money, comfort and...

Just a heads up, I was in HK last month and ordered the Arya off jd.com (most reputable electronics website in China) while I was there. It was bundled with a carrying case and stand(did not keep) and cost me the equivalent of £950/$1150, which I think is a fantastic deal. I believe the store I...
