Christ on a Cross....you buried these MOFO's. Im using them on a Cayin N5II SE connection and they are very good all around. Im waiting to get a balanced 2.5 cable to check it out since the Cayin pumps more via that connection. Now, On my iFixCan these things sound AMAZING. Holy Jesus, you must be able to hear a flea fart LOL.
I do appreciate your thorough analysis dont get me wrong.

"Prentetious about amp pairing. Sound “cheap” on inappropriate sources." Seriously? Demanding! Ok!

"Thin, artificial timbre on high mids and low trebles." No, on the contrary, excellent musicality, exact and excellent reproduction of the timbres of acoustic instruments, Very balanced, bass at their right level, example on the bass of a symphony orchestra!

"Not cheap asking price." May be, but an excellent music/price ratio!

"Cable and tip sensitive." ? !

Given the way this thing has been hyped to the moon by certain intimately involved individuals, this is a welcome counterpoint.

" intimately involved individuals"? Did they make love to it and produce an illegitimate child??? What do you mean exactly?

@aptquark People directly involved in the creation of it, be that through "doing the do" or other more savoury methods.
