Fir Audio Thread - Discussion and Impressions
Penon Pyramid cable (not yet released) looks good on Xe6, no? A little space science and some Egyptology, all from America and China! And thankfully it sounds as good as it looks! A perfect cable for Xe6!- emdeevee

Happy weekend! Because the new Penon Pyramid cable sounded so good with Quattro, which is a darker tuned iem imho, I figured I would try it on some other "dark" iems. Decided to start at the top with the Fir Xe6. For almost a year now, I've been enjoying Xe6 with the Fir Rn6 stock cable which...- emdeevee

Bro, I agree, no bass complaints with Voltage. Unless you need basshead levels. Voltage, while a shocking name, really represents the balance that Penon so aims for.- emdeevee

A couple of comments about the bass of the Voltage. First, it seems the Voltage is intended to be (and is) a very balanced iem. I do find that with the bass switch up I get more and yet the whole sound remains balanced. So there's no basshead thing happening here, not even close. However, I'll...- emdeevee

I have to agree. The inserts are too short to engage recessed pins in some cases. For instance, I could not get Renata to stay connected to Monachaa because it couldn't fully plug into the recess.- emdeevee

The exquisite Simphonio P0, another example of single driver perfection, much like Supreme v3 but with better ergonomics. And the planar bass is oddly satisfying, but I figured it would be. Here they are on the new Penon Pyramid cable, an exotic mix of magical cable sauce.- emdeevee

Reply to review by 'emdeevee' on item 'Penon Pyramid IEM cables'
Great and comprehensive review! I'm just getting to full burn in on this cable, but I agree, this is an amazing cable residual for darker iems like Quattro. Will be trying on my Xe6 next.- emdeevee

Still enjoying the wonderful Simphonio P0, but cable rolled to the new Penon Pyramid, which not only looks the part, it also sounds it!!!- emdeevee

Hey Bro, not the entire line just the 1Z and the 1AM2. I promptly sent the 1Z off to NP Audio for mods and have been listening to the 1AM2 in its absence. Neither best the P6Pro in SQ, but they both have some particular features that make them pretty amazing. As @Rockwell75 as said, they are the...- emdeevee

Enjoying this beautiful new, soon-to-be released Penon cable, the Pyramid, which @Dsnuts has highlighted recently. I have only tested this on Quattro and Voltage, and both were big improvements to stock, with the effects on Quattro being quite pronounced, giving it even better treble and bass...- emdeevee

That's funny because that was the exact one I first matched it with and I agree completely...for now it's on Quattro! But I am going to roll this with some non Penons. This is an interestingly different cable!- emdeevee

This beauty just arrived courtesy of the WC tour: Just had a few hours with it so far, but it's reminding me just how good a single planar driver can perform when well tuned. It took a lot of work to get my LCDi4 tuned, but once I figured it out, it was (and remains) incredible. On first...- emdeevee

He already does that and he carries on this thing there, too. I have no issues discussing Trio in this thread or with other Watercoolers. They like good stuff, the best stuff. Many are surprised at how great Trio is but none are saying it's a Trifecta, and I'd agree with them, it's not. That...- emdeevee

This would be very easy. I would even bet on it. I own both and comfortably would take that challenge.- emdeevee

All great choices (I have all of them!) so it depends on what you're aiming for. The best deal in there is SR7. The best all arounder in there is TSMR X. The best bass throughline in there is Quattro.- emdeevee

I own both and agree pretty much completely with @fejnomit although I like Trio a bit more than him perhaps. But it's totally different than Trifecta without question. They would be very easy to ID in a blind a/b test for sure. That said, they are a very fun pair of iems and qualify as outliers...- emdeevee

I would totally echo the Voltage lovers in here. The first thought I had after the first serious listen was, 'this would make a perfect CIEM'. And I still think that but am so happy with the Coreir tips that I have lost the desire to change out. Voltage is the best deal going within the Penon...- emdeevee
