Ooo, this is exciting; been dying to try the Loki. Novus will also be pretty cool, will definitely be comparing my notes from my Raven demo. :)

I have received the FIR E12 kit today, thanks a lot @dleblanc343 They are wayyy smaller then I expected! I will definitely give some impression in the main thread this weekend! Zmue

Great to hear all is well Rockwell! Please add me to the VE/AK Tour, I was pretty pleased with this when I got a chance to demo it for a few minutes but the EXT really stood out to me at the time. Is there any news on the Loki tour for Canada? Been most curious about this one!

Hey Damz! Adding to what you’ve said here between these two, how would you compare Raven & Anni with Loki Emerald? These three have been on my top 5 list to pick from going into this year (7th Acoustics Asteria being at the top but that’s probably not till this summer at best) and the itch to...

Hey @Rockwell75! I am curious about joining these tours, my name is James from Mississauga, ON. I was little unsure if I should ask given my minimal history of posting activity on Headfi though I am very active lurker and on various discord servers as @smue and in CannuckAudioMart. I have no...

Hi Watercoolers, looking for advice again! Looking at some warmer IEM's to compliment U4s and Crimson (love my mid-bass thickness) and am currently deciding between RN6 and VE EXT (I have decided XE6 is a bit TOO much lower mids, so it's not on list anymore) and I have actually gotten an...

Hi Precog, was curious on your thoughts on how you would rank Volur in your list. I enjoy your list thoughts. :) Ended up demo’ing it recently amongst a few other 64’s and came away with mixed feelings. It’s does seem pretty technically impressive, particularly in the mid range and bass...

It’s intentional; I think Symphonium are trying to prove a point to some extent, that driver count marketing is a meme(?). They want to see how people receive it on its merits without driver count bias maybe. It’s just a guess cause otherwise I’m not too certain either.

Local star, Nymz, has a great initial impressions review and rates it pretty close to U12t (which is his highest ranked along with Anni 2023). Seems like a U12t with some extra “spice”. Also take a look at his ranking list. :3...

Thanks so much! Got me really excited to receive them!

Would love to pick your brain on comparisons with the U4s. I really love it, it fixed some of issues I had with the U12t. Would you look at both as different enough to warrant keeping them both for flavor? Also -slightly- worried about thin/lean midbass, would these come across as more lean...

Pretty excited for your review on this! Decided to take the plunge on this pre-order despite having limited info, but given Symphonium's prior releases and the fact that they (along with Nightjar & Subtomic) just seem like a good group of dudes that consistently make high-quality sets, I didn't...

I noticed you had Svanar as well! Super curious at how you’d compare the two!

Yup, agree with everything on the U12t. It definitely had something special in the technical chops but I always ended up being disappointed at the dull presentation in songs where the bass wasn’t really being utilized. U4s really fixed that for me even if the mid range felt a step down, espy...

Great comparison, ty for this! I love my U4s, enough so that I replaced the U12t with it. What do you make of the technical performance differences between the U4s and Singularity? 64 Audio treble just has this nice crispy performance and great dynamics/slam I love that seems to be prevalent in...

Hey Damz, was super close to biting bullet on these but hesitated for 20sec while it was in cart aaand... they were gone! But now I have some more time to think less emotionally. :smile: I'm curious how you would compare their technical performance to your U12t? I was generally impressed with...

I've been experimenting what your method or just pushing them all the way until the nozzle can't push the guard out anymore, leaving them almost flush to the opening. The latter seems to fit better, as it allows more of the IEM to rest inside the ear.

I actually just received my Max's and I'm curious; do you push your tips into the U12t till the "wax guard" won't allow it to go further or if you allow some space for it to not "deform"? I wonder if, besides fit, this would have any meaningful impact on attenuation.

I’m really curious about this setup! I am having the same initial issues with the thin mid-bass presence. I apparently like more fullness though the detail on the mid range is just fantastic. In tracks here the mid-bass isn’t really tokened, it’s perfect. I was considering trying the W1/S1 for...

I’m very curious on the Starlight after watching Resolve’s latest comparison. After some weeks of listening, I’ve come to the conclusion that the Monarch isn’t for me. I love the detail but it’s just way too mid-bass anemic. I think I’ve realized I really enjoy V-Shape or close to it (FD5?)...

Question for those that have either W1/2, I'm currently on the fence between the S1 and W1 in regards to their EQ options. How is the "Bass" preset on the W's? I noticed the S1's "Full Bass" preset seems to also murders the highs unfortunately. I hoping to find something that helps the...

I'm pleased to say the Linsoul discord team (Deng specifically) was excellent for exactly this; I noticed the same more muted faceplates on my Monarch I received last week and wondered if I might have received a Clair, but the nozzle was correct based on differences between the two. I decided...

Linsoul is probably your best bet; they are the parent company of Thieaudio. There may be others that offer pre-orders occasionally if they can get a batch.

This is what am hoping for so that's good to hear! I do enjoy the FD5; I've never heard a BA/EST based IEM before as this is my first foray in to the hobby so I decided to go with the safer choice of a DD based IEM to start. and the idea of a V-shaped signature sounded more "fun". Many...

I’ve been lurking for quite some time over these two and I’m a bit torn between them but ended up putting an order in for the Monarch. It’s early though and I could probably still cancel but it seems the general consensus is Classical/Orchestra probably better suited for Monarch over the...
