Spending time tonight with the 266 pk32, I much prefer to the 266 mx150 - very nice mids, bass and treble but hasn't touched on being harsh at all so far.

If you like pk, you should check Wraith

I thought the Wraith was gone? I do definitely need to get another Blur at some point with warmer tuning.

Ask Mr. Wong, but 266r mx400 that should arrives me next week, think is the warmest sound from actual aviable models

2 hours later, pk32 still firmly in my ears! Now enjoying some modular synth goodness, sounds wonderful - beautiful soundscapes.

Yes, the Blur OFC PK150 Wraith SE has been discontinued but this driver and the associated tuning has been absorbed into the Blur 189 Hybrid MX/PK (32/64/150/300Ω aPs; PK 150Ω; "189 Hybrid" cabling) series... so you can still get a Wraith-like tuning which is still slightly warmer and a tad bassier than my Blur 266R MX400 Reference LE (400Ω; non-aPs Old Clear Shell; 266v4 aka “266 Clear” cabling; Limited Edition).

I would even hazard to say that the PK 32Ω version of the Blur 266R MX/PK Reference (MX 32/64/150/300Ω aPs; MX 400Ω non-aPs; PK 32Ω; 266v4 aka "266 Clear" cabling) which absorbed the both the driver and tuning of the basshead lovers Blur 266 PK32 New Line (which had replaced the special/ultimate basshead limited edition Blur PK16 White Face which is hands down the warmest and bassiest earbud ever created by Blur) is now currently the warmest & bassiest model available from Blur.

The Wraith and New Line were very close in warmth with the New Line slightly bassier so the 189 Hybrid PK150 and the 266R PK32 Reference are therefore very close as well.

So in order of increasing warmth I would offer the following with the models in dark green being currently available:

​

Blur (266R) MX400 Reference​

Blur 189 Hybrid PK150​

Blur PK150 Wraith​

Blur (266R) PK32 Reference​

Blur PK32 New Line​

Blur PK16 White Face​

Ah I didn't include my usual snap to capture the moment! I'll be listening again later and will make sure to pop up a pic

As I told you. my new Blur´s batch (Blur 266R mx32, Blur266R mx400, Blur 266 mx300) should arrrive by Tuesday, I´ll post my first impresions about 266R MX400 without burnin, that really improve the FR

As I've got along better with the 266 pk32 (mine I think is new line?), I reckon pk32 Reference might be next. What is the R after 266? I'm not a fan of the stiffness and microphonics of the current 266 cable and that has been a blocker to listening quite a lot. I know the 189 cable is better, is 266R?

Thanks for that!

Yes, I believe you have one of the last Blur 266 PK32 New Line made.

The "R" simply refers that it is of the Reference series using the version 4 266 cabling which is clear insulated. I think the 189 Hybrid and 266 Clear cabling are very similar with the 266 Clear being slightly of higher quality and cost.

Blur 266R MX/PK aPs Reference = for 266R the 266 means "266 Clear" Litz Copper cabling (see above) and the R means Blur Reference Tuning​

Blur 266v4 aka "266 Clear" = copper; Litz copper wire in thick clear insulation; each 133; combined both are 266 (used on 266R Reference)​

Ok got it, thank you!

Ok got it, thank you!

Anyway, when you get Cayin N6ii-Ti the music should sound warmer, as on my XI Audio Broadway, I think a very affordable DAP for this is Cayin N3PRo, and even cheaper Xduoo MT-604.
Tubes and R2R add warmth to earbuds and get vocals so sweet

Yes looking forward to that, I've heard such great things about R2R. I must actually try the ZX507 with both Blur, a warmer DAP versus the 1A.

 

[Scubadevils]

ZX507 & Blur 266 PK32 New Line: a warm but very enjoyable experience. @WoodyLuvr - visual evidence below

 

[Scubadevils]

Ok, this has escalated to euphoric listening experience status! I'm blown away by how well these work together - stunning. Enjoying too much to stop but I'll try the 266 MX150 tomorrow to see if ZX507 can take the edge off.
