Enjoy it! I've gone back and forth with that one: first time I heard it at CanJam I LOVED it, revisited it at another CanJam and it didn't float my boat as much. At that time I thought it was too close to my beloved Trailli to justify the investment. Then this week I had with it the blue...

The Monochaee is set to be delivered to @stacey later today!

WHY did you have to go and put this thought in my head!?! Just kidding... kinda. If I follow your guidance I should wait another year with the bird before thinking of any upgrade. Great to see that Oriolus is still innovating though.

Yeah, I unfortunately have to agree with you. This was discussed early on when the N8 was released (that they were working on it) and that's obviously been a bit. Happy to be pleasantly surprised, of course. Would be a great little holiday surprise, but not expecting it.

The CFA Bonneville sent off to @stacey this morning. Liked my time with this one but ultimately not my jam. A little bright in the highs. Love having time with them through the tour to figure out the nuances of different IEMs.

Been away for awhile. What is the latest on the N8ii getting an update to full Roon Ready status? It was mentioned very early on that it was part of the development plan but curious if there’s any update or if official silence suggests it’s not coming after all?

I’ve been away from the consumption aspect of the hobby for a bit. Attending concerts became its own type of rabbit hole/money pit. Catching up on Head-Fi, it’s great to see that the bird is still holding up. I find that I still love my listening sessions with it.

Sign me up, please! The pictures of it look amazing.

Jeff, I missed this. If possible and it’s not too late, I’d love to be added to its US visit. As always, appreciate you.

Just received. Thanks!

Jeff, yes please. And thank You!

A lot to be thankful for audio wise, for sure. Will PM you with my address, thanks. Happy Thanksgiving to all!

Just mailed out the Annihilator and Diva to @stacey. What an enjoyable week with both, but I have to say I’m with @emdeevee in that I’ll miss the DIVA. I was enamored with the Annihilator from brief CanJam listening sessions but I’d have to say while great, the bloom is off the rose for me...

@emdeevee , just picked up your package from the post office; thanks brother. Looking forward to a week of sonic adventures!

You can do this. Did it this morning. Easy walk, a little over half a mile. Just thought of something to add before providing this guidance: walking even a half-mile with any semblance of "typical luggage" might make a difference. I'm a long-time business traveler who's developed ninja-like...
