    I actually don’t think they’d be as different as you think. I’ve owned and written a review on Supernova, and I have a Noir coming in. I’ll update you once I receive it.

    I also own Anni and I purchased, but didn’t receive yet, the Alter Ego. I’ve demoed it though. I agree with @zlayde that Alter Ego lacks the special sauce and engagement that Anni has. I also agree with @Tanalasta when they said Anni is an IEM that grabs peoples’ attention at first listen...

    Review by 'Smirk 24' on item 'Nightjar Acoustics Singularity'

    Introduction If you haven't heard of Nightjar Acoustics and the man behind it by now, now's a good time to get to know them. Based in Singapore, Nightjar is arguably one of the best in-ear cable brands at the moment and is behind the cables for the renowned Subtonic STORM. Chang, Nightjar's...

    Letshuoer Cadenza 12: Impressions and Discussion

    I can see why. Superbly tuned and great bass. I know the mirror finish is a bit prone to microscratches and fingerprints but it’s titanium so you know it’s built like a tank.

    Letshuoer Cadenza 12: Impressions and Discussion

    Just picked up a pair of these from an open box deal. Super excited to hear them again!

    Yes, and I’m also trying to find out if there actually was a nozzle change.

    Elysian Pilgrim

    @JordonEA regarding the measurement differences that @MRSallee shared in his video, I heard that the nozzle was changed between the demo and prod unit. Would this account for the measurement differences despite there being no intentional retune?

    Elysian Pilgrim

    Kinda. EA’s measurements have a large 14-15k peak that I haven’t seen in any community 711 coupler measurements.

    Elysian Pilgrim

    @JordonEA Congrats to you and your team on the launch! I’m curious, what coupler was used for these measurements?

    Hey nice impressions! What coupler did you use for your measurements btw?

    These look like Eletech Baroque tips.

    Monachaa tour unit received from @Noobzilla, thanks! Listening impressions on CMA Eighteen Master using Azla Sedna Shorts: - Nice sub-bass and mid-bass texturing/tactility. Lacks a little mid-bass quantity to offset brightness/fatiguing vocals. - Fairly resolving, and decent dynamics. Decent...

    Anyway we can get the Tanchjim Oxygen filter without buying the Tanchjim Oxygen? 😅

    Sorry to hear that. Your dealer should be able to contact Elysian and get the cable swapped out to a new one. As someone who’s dealt with a lot of qc issues this past year, I know how devastating it can feel.

    Elysian Pilgrim

    Oh, nice mod. That 5k looks much smoother. Can you share how to do this?
  19. Smirk 24

    Elysian Pilgrim

    I heard TermX degrades sound quality? I might consider swapping the stock cable.

    I’m so jealous seeing everyone get their Pilgrims 😭 where is mine?
  21. Smirk 24

    Elysian Pilgrim

    The cable swap explains the different impressions, but it doesn’t explain the differences in measurements shown in MRS’s video. The measurement of the production unit does look more down-tilted. I’m not implying there was a stealth re-tune or anything like that. If Jordon says there were no...

    I have the same issue with my Anni and my 320M. I love Liquid Links cables for their sonic qualities and reasonable prices (especially in today’s market), but I can’t understand why they elect to go with their giant plug hardware that doesn’t fit recessed ports.

    Eletech Baroque Eartips; Now Available for Apple Airpods Pro!

    Baroque tips arrived today. Some quick impressions: I normally use medium stock tips and the medium size Baroque tips were a good fit. The Baroque tips have some bass boom, some added body, and sound smoother. Being smoother, the Baroques are a cozier listen, but at the same time they sound...
