Thanks tmotterlaing.

No release date yet, it's frustrating. I don't have any iem at the moment apart from my almost broken Triple fi 10. I just want to buy the best ciem & forget about buying another one for the next 10 years

Remember what might be the best to him might not be the best for you. Preference in sound signature plays a big role, so better if you get to listen to their demo before you decide

I agree - although I was only commenting on the hardware and software combos mentioned in the post - since I haven't even heard any of the ADEL series at all (even in a demo) I don't yet have a 'preference' haha! Although I'm sure I'll write a full length review when my U8 arrives... next decade some time....*grumble grumble*.

Personally I'd be all for 1964 offering the A10 & A12 at the KS prices again for a short window (say 30 days). Then they could bump them up $200-300 for another couple of months to finish out the introductory period. I'm not sure how the other KS backers would feel about this though.

Maybe a HF specific discount code? Or, maybe a one time use code is given to each A10 / A12 backer that they could give to a friend or use to buy a second A10 / A12.

It would be great for more HF members to be able to get in on the A12 goodness!

 
Now, I wouldn't mind that at all!

If you're going for the TOTL, I think it'll be prudent on your part to audition the IEMs first. If you are unable to do so, pick a handful based on reviews and popular opinion, then do extensive research. At this price point ($1.5k +), it has a lot to do with your preference for a certain sound signature more than anything else.

I was one of the last backers and sent my ear impressions late (2 weeks ago), and I just got my A12 with 1 day shipping. I guess that means they are pretty much done with the A10/A12 so they should be focusing on the other backers now.

Yay for 2-pin connectors on the U-series!!!

 

[Levanter]

The U series looks similar with the A series universal fit.
 
 

 

[nudd]

So does the U series come with both the fixed and the adjustable modules?

I thought it was both but the most recent update seems to say that it will only be with the adjustable module?

 

[Brooko]

Dang it - U series now postponed until July
 
@vitaliy belo - I'm actually travelling in the US early July.  What is the best way to make contact regarding the U series?  If I'm going to be in US anyway - we may as well save freight and possibility of customs costs, and have them delivered to a US address (I'm in New Zealand)?
 
Let me know and we can take it up via email.

My understanding is that its both.

 

[eldss]

My understanding is that its both.

A prior update indicated that both "A and U" series would get both modules.

 

[nudd]

Yes, but the second last paragraph of the update does not mention the fixed module but I do recall a previous update that said we would  get both.

Mmmm...U6 backer (lurker) here. While these are being delayed until July, the additions and technical design improvements definitely make up for a little personal disappointment. 
 
All the A12 talk has me wishing I'd had an option for an A6 during Kickstarter time since the A12 was too hard to self-justify.
 
Levanter, you're pretty plugged in. Have you heard anything about the differences between U6 and A6 (other than the obvious customization option)? Thanks!

From the comments on the latest KS update:

Can you confirm whether the U series will be getting the self tuning as well as the adjustable ADEL module? I realise this was mentioned in a prior update but this one only refers to the adjustable module.

  @ Ian Frankham: confirmed.

 

[vitaliy belo]

Rest assured, we will ship both the fixed and fully tunable modules to all KS A&U-series backers

10-12 years ago I was looking for portable amps and DACs and it was slim pickings.  This market really didn't exist.  There were a few brave companies making a few products.  Now it's a nightmare to figure out which product to buy.  I'm not one of those who likes to collect 20 cans and 17 amps etc etc but prefer to make a good choice and just live with it. If I don't make a good choice for my tastes I sell it and try again.  But now there is so much good stuff I want to buy something every day. 

I can honestly say that is not going to happen with the A12.  It works for me.  Today it passed the chain saw test.  I worked with a chainsaw for two hours wearing it and a set of hearing protector muffs over the A12s.  I heard nothing but music. They did as good as the ear plugs I wear under hearing muffs.

I hear you..
Now you should get Layla..i did..help..))
