I can't imagine someone would sell his Wraith. In my case, I have sold almost all of my earbuds since I heard the Wraith. It's one of the best things that happened to me here in headfi. Has anyone discovered yet which of the newer Blurs is a direct upgrade of it with the same tuning and timbre?

I think new 266R pk32 is the most closed tuninng right now to Wraith, but mine are still in burning process so, perhaps are early impressions.

Any way, I most like mids-highs focused FR, like 189 mx150, and I found Wraith a bit veled to my tastes.

The Blur OFC PK150 Wraith SE/LE and the basic Wraith tuning has been absorbed into the Blur 189 Hybrid MX/PK line and is now rebadged as the Blur 189 Hybrid PK150.

Received the 266R PK32. I love it. Images are incredibly delineated and separated, yet extremely solid. Tone and timbre are superb. It's my new reference, much more to my taste than the BW MX300 aPs (which will go up for sale soon), and makes me want to order more Blur. But the question is, do I order something available now or wait to see what new thing Wong develops?

You have so many models to order just now.
Even you can talk to Wong and add some minor improvemnts to the FR you most like.
I love that fine tunning mods that can get the earbud sounds just like you really want.

On Burn in Process with 266R MX64.
Tomorrow will check them with about 70h

Just re-discovered this thread, now I'm really curious..
So I would really like a comparison with 189 300/64 and 266 64/300.
Also how is the soundstage, imaging, details, extension, clarity.
Be well

I have only heard the 189 MX64 of those models. It's a very strong all rounder. It has a midbass emphasis but it's not dark, it sits on a very fine position to my ear equidistant from dark and bright. It has a very good soundstage, mids are placed nicely forward but not invasive. Detail is excellent and vocals are very sweet.

If you want to be extra safe and go warmer, it may be an idea to go to the 266R model line. I've not heard the majority of that line up though but maybe @Charlyro222 can help?

 

[Charlyro222]

For my tastes 189 suits better, but this is hard to say for everyone. 266R cable adds more warmth but if you get Rodhium termination, can fix this.

What's the difference between the 189 and 266 cables? Is the 189 silver plated?

The Hybrid 189 cable is a pure silver and pure copper hybrid, the 266R is pure copper.

Good to know, thanks Ian.

[Charlyro222]

I am very curious about your impressions. When I wrote to Wong he also suggested I might prefere this because of more bass, but discussing my overall preferences he too confirmed 189 for me...

How did you find the 266R MX64? I see from your signature it's 'Special Tuning' so did Wong add a bit of second mountain like in the 189 tuning?
