His first album is nothing short of fantastic. Love me some Leon Bridges.

Sorry dear friends - VE8 has been sold! :))) Keep in touch. -1pony

Relatively New. Never left home (Covid Lockdown). As good as Crinnacle ranks them. Letting these badboys go, as I've lost my job (Covid) and going back to studies. May you enjoy and baby them as I did. Thanks. Yes. Comes with box and accessories (all left untouched).

Pony reporting in. Looking forward to these sets!

Had this thread idea, some while ago, so good for you on actually doing it!

Definitely enticing. It looks like a spiritual successor to the original A4. Here's an online graph I found: That's just the bass configs only; I'll try and post the mids and treble graphs as well. Edit: Here's the different tunings (mids/ highs):

Long time no see bud. How's your collection? I think I'm done at this point...(unless I start collecting full sized hps)

Under a different context, this picture could have also have creepy kinky vibe... What do I know? I'm just a headphone guy...

Glad you've gone the distance in securing one of the last ones, happy for you mate. The Reborn certainly delivers in the mids/vocals dept. The fun and cozy bass don't hurt either. Definitely looking forward how your Isa compares to the Reborn. Congrats again.

Looking forward in reading your thoughts and comparison. Congrats!

@Rockwell75 's Elysium found a new home today. Thanks Rock, twas hard to resist your offer. Always a pleasure in dealing with a true gentleman in this hobby.

Fantastic Service. Quick shipping and beautifully packaged. A true reliable member of this great community.

Pm'd. Dibs.

From what I gathered, it's a renewed Oriolus Reborn (or Oriolus mk4).

Imho? Oriolus mk2. (Male and female) Others I've heard: VE8, Elysium, OG Mest Lower tier: LZ-A4,Flc8s,Dn2000, Blessing 2

Shame it just doesn't pair nicely with the M8... it's pretty much my desert island iem.

What do you pair your Oriolus mk2 with btw?

Go to Rockwell75's ranking thread and ask there, he'll likely give you a pretty good run down (no Monarch though).

Beautiful "family" shot. Your children look oh so lovely.

I have the Mk1 not sure if that's what you're looking for. Though, I must say: TOTL gear combined, usually makes for TOTL results.

What's your main dap? So far, I'm auditioning them using the M8, but I can probably use other daps I have and see how they behave. The timbre of instruments from the upper mids and up is nothing short of fantastic. You can really feel the drummer "swing" through the tune; the energy on the...

Here's my quick 15 minute take on the (wonderful) Elysium: Let me get this off my chest first, since I find it's actually important to talk about the controversial (imo) BA bass of the Elysium: The performance of BA bass may feel lacking in amplitude, but that's BA bass for you, that said...

Certainly these. Yup.

Don't buy anything yet, gimme time to write some thoughts down. In the meantime, give us an idea as to what you're looking for.

Ditto. I'm already liking what I'm hearing. A part of me wants to analyze, but it's struggling against the Ely's ability to shut my mind down and I can't help but enjoy the music. Imaging is rather immersive, and the ba bass is actually better than I imagined. PS. I agree with you on the ve8...
