Just a heads up! Courtesy of Preasto HK, I have managed to secure a loaner set of the Horizon Doom IEM, a single DD IEM engineered and tuned by an ex-Onkyo engineer. So far, it exhibits an aggressive V-shaped signature with a lean emphasis on upper-mid energy. It's still early days, but stay...

I concur. It's the "either-or" dichotomy that bothers me. FR is a useful tool in an engineer's arsenal: a yard-stick that ensures consistency across units manufactured. The bad is unfortunately pronounced. Esoteric and niche-tunings was what enlivened the hobby :). Thankfully, there's still a...

Reducing how an IEM purportedly sounds into a biviarite chart is the bane of the industry. I appreciate the repository of FR responses floating on the internet, but the subjective factors that can't be quantified have to be "listened to". Distance from the driver array to the spout/nozzle...

An IEM that I sorely miss. One of the few greats.

Hi guys! I don't talk much in these parts, but I am a reviewer with the Headphone List and have been for a year and a half now. This is my latest review of the Dita Audio Project M, which I'm sure is of much interest in this thread! Feel free to send questions my way :)...

Yeah, I'm a huge IMR stan, but right now, I am more than satisfied with what I have. But, who knows? Mayhaps I consider one down the line!

I'm the same way. Kilobuck territory (apart from my blind Dark Matter buy) is a tough sell for me!

I honestly wish he sold them separately :/

Btw! I wrote a detailed comparison between the Elan's and the DMs a few days ago! You can easily search it on the thread, or by clicking on my profile :)

Funnily enough, a care package from a friend of mine (courtesy of kotori Audio) has just arrived! Mostly cables, and their new Dauntless iem! But segueing back to IMR, I wouldn't be surprised if other models are released down the line. I was hoping for a focus on the midrange :/. Hopefully...

I know! But I have a few packages arriving soon. Best I save the money rn!

Thanks for letting me know! I think I'll wait for more mid tier models in the near future :)

Yeah looks like I won't be committing then! Too expensive for me rn. But I'm about a week out from some review units coming my way! So I'll be patient 🤠

I'm probably going to succumb and LITERALLY block myself from the website. On a positive note, I discovered that you can use the loyalty codes on top of the pre-order price. I have contacted Bob to see if I can trade my Elan in.

I have to say, the design + colorway of the zenith 2 is gorgeous.

What earning money does to a mf... LOOL. Using my dark matters rn at the office (before the doors open)

Ikr, the temptation is getting real here.... So tempted rn

You have to sign up for a private invite by emailing bob in advance :).

Heads up guys! The invites for the Elan+, Seraph, and Seraph+ are out now!

Blasting the Dark Matters rn (using black lowerstage, blue upperstage filters). Highly urge everyone to listen to the Ibibio Sound Machine's brilliant live album. Afrofunk at its peak 💖. The cavernous bass response doesn't hurt either!

Same here 😭. I'm glad I started my new job but still! God, the temptation to snag the Elan+ is so high rn

On a positive note, ill be reviewing the Meze Advars shortly! Awaiting its arrival as we speak 😌

I think doubling down on the BC effect on the Elan is a brilliant move. There's something about the the Elan's midrange that's unparalleled imho. The inclusion of 2 BA's probably adds an additional layer of resolution, and speed. Really really tempted rn but that price is not exactly...

Yeah, these prices aren't exactly accessible for most people either. He really needs to spend more time on the midrange segment imho. The zenith 2 and EDP aces were in the right direction. Nevertheless, lettuce wait and seee
