Sorry never tried the ISN. I tested a few cheaper Aliexpress silver cables. None of them turned out any good. I stopped and the cheapest I recommend with confidence is from Toxic. I tried it all. They are all various levels of good, better, and best.

There are some reviews about ISN https://www.head-fi.org/showcase/isn-ag8.24135/reviews . Got one but waiting for repair by Penon.

Ouch. Reversed polarity? Do update when you get it back. If it's great at $200. It's a game changer.

Reversed polarity wouldn't be that bad, but they managed to completely mess up the solder contacts. Will do.

I was told Penon stuff, best to check before bringing it home. I guess it turned out to be a hit in your case.

I had AG8 before selling it and the 8-wire cables are too heavy for me, an excellent value for the price, then I bought a CEMA pure silver 4-wire, 22AWG, excellent price and performance but already discontinued.

I bought $400/500 cables on two occasions and I didn't feel anything different, those were Satin Audio Athena and Eletech Raphael, I'm sure there are some at that price that are worth it, I think it's better to invest in iems and daps.

This one the Liquid Links Evua 2 which for its price seems really excellent but we are talking about almost half of what an Aetha costs for example.

I admit that I would love to try EHO/EHO2 and even more so GodFall but I am not sure I will amortize that investment so for now I will wait

Usually, cables are the latter stages in the journey. Once you have all the IEMs you like and care to keep. You start digging for amps and dacs. Then finally you get to cables. I don't think anyone will appreciate good cables if it was reversed.

RN6's bass quality is good, I have to give it that. When trying something new. I use the DX260 because it's highly technical, wide stage and reference. So it's easy to hear the flaws or strong points. If the IEM has the properties for stage, imaging, and resolution. It will be rendered.

For bass, I use this playlist. Rather than just bom bom bom. It's got a pretty good variety. https://tidal.com/playlist/25d80988-df1e-4e6f-bef8-9467056d2187

Aetha for next level imaging and staging, you need to unlock it with a good silver cable. The problem is there is no good and cheap silver cable. Using SPC on Aetha gives you a rich and lush sound, but the stage while not small, is still on the intimate side. Stick in a good silver, the extension on both ends opens up, the soundstage and imagingalso go up another level.

Thanks for sharing the Great Test tracks for Bass it has given new life to my Symphonium Titan and I am now debating whether I should sell my Titan

Nice to hear some feedback from others then usual suspects , I am also not sold on the BC drivers so far whatever research I have done they have no impact or advantage over other drivers like BAs and ESTs

To know what bcs does, one need to know what frequencies were they tuned to. One can then compare them with other phones with those specific frequencies and understand the differences. If you see no differences, then it's a gimmick

Tried feeding Aehta and Ascension using my desktop set up and Dethonray M1 tonight and it was such a treat. Sound was so detailed and bold that I felt like I was listening on my full sized headphones. Incredible experience!

Switch on the bass switch on the Aehta and now you know what that bone conductor is for.

After owning almost all the Symphonium releases. I realised the way they view the world. Most brands will have a sound that agrees with maybe 60% of the people, then add a tilt on the bass, treble, or some tuning they're trying to achieve. Over there. They decide to make a treble head IEM, then go out and make the IEM that will make trebleheads cry. Let's make one for the snooty audiophiles. You end up with a reference detail monster. A bass centric IEM. The bassheads have an orgasm. All the specific target groups will be crying and raving about how amazing the IEMs are. The trouble is it leaves everyone else scratching their heads and saying it's too much after a month or two.

On a practical note. If you find the Aetha not bassy enough and would like to own a bassy IEM for when you're in the mood, but the Titan is too costly. The Empire Ears Bravado 2 is a bit old now. You can find them at half price. It's a well tuned IEM with a bassy tilt. It works well with other genres other than just bass heavy music. At about 350. It's much easier to keep for the occasional use.

BTW. If you use SPC on the Aetha. It’s very rich and musical, but the stage is intimate. Try a good silver cable. The dynamics, definition and extensions on both ends goes up. More important, the stage opens up.

AV1 has got Toxic Eddie2 or Silver Widow v3. Another good one and more affordable is Flash Acoustic’s Catalina, a silver gold. Less aggressive and smoother than the Toxic stuff. Zeppelin should have a demo.

I’ll be at Zeppelin tomorrow after lunch.

With the CLAN Audio silver SPC cable I achieved exactly the same thing in Aure, without breaking the bank.

Hello.
It's already been two months since I purchased AEHTA.
Nic Bro, I'm sorry. It's a little late to leave a comment.
Actually, it took me a long time to find a setting I liked with the equipment I had.

It's my equipment outdoors.

iBASSO DC ELITE + OOH gigahertz pure silvercable + ELETECH Baroque eartips


===
appearance :
It looked surprisingly small and the nozzle was long, but it seemed to fit ergonomically better than I expected, so I wore it comfortably.

Sound impression :
The bass was tight and the mids and highs were cool.
AEHTA's stage is not large, but it is bright and well-separated.

Bone conduction drivers seem to place a unique emphasis on the midrange.
This is the charm of AEHTA, and its individuality seems to be revealed in its sound.
However, when used with a slow-moving gold alloy or copper hybrid cable, the beats of fast songs feel subtly pushed.
Therefore, it was a good idea to fit a silver wire cable with a quick response.

I tested the switches in a variety of ways and 000 and 111 worked best for my equipment.

000 is the most balanced and not excessive.
111 is lively and dynamic.
===

This is my first time purchasing an IEM from aur audio, and I think AEHTA is better than I thought.
Thank you for reading this long article. I don't know if Google Translator worked well.

Thank you for your impressions, what you mean is understood correctly

I see that you have had EE Odyssey, it is fresh in your memory, can you make a comparison with Aetha?

Do you think the soundstage is similar in width or is there one of the two that stands out more?

Thank you

Because my experience is old, I write based on old memories.
It was something I had never imagined, so I thought about it carefully and realized that there were many similarities and differences. lol
Both IEMs are versatile, but have a slightly different feel.

Odyssey focuses on mids and lows, while AEHTA focuses more on mids and highs.

The stages seem similar, but AEHTA feels a bit narrow.
The reason seems to be the responsiveness of the bass.
The Odyssey's bass is slightly spread out, giving it a slightly reverberant feel.
AEHTA has less air because it picks and exits beats quickly.
For example, in the music I often listen to, such as 'DPR IAN - 1 Shot' and 'Marian Hill - Differently', the Odyssey has a more relaxed feel and the bass is a bit more calm.

On the other hand, in vocal songs such as 'Sohyang - Higher', AEHTA has the advantage of comfortably raising the high notes without feeling stuffy.

I'd like to give a thumbs up to AEHTA's 'Rammstein - Los' intro. Left and right are clearly distinguished.
Even when vocals, drums, and bass are combined, they sound clear without interfering with each other.

I'm not a professional critic, I'm just a person who likes music, so my expressions may not be accurate, so please read this just for fun.

For all the copper fans. A new king has landed. Bloody hell. Hold on to your wallets. A copper cable with the tonality of copper and the dynamism of silver. I just collected it earlier and giving it a run right now. Consider me mindblown. Fans of EOH 1. There is no way you're going to miss this. Even on a "budget" Aurora, this is eargasm stuff. I was not expecting this.
