I am a reseller of the two, and I like them both for different reasons. The Solitaire-P is delivering notes in a rather silky / thin way. The Camerton rendering is more on the presence / body of notes.

When I've heard T+A Solitaire-P for the first time, my impression was that these cans wre purposely tuned to be a bit coarse on the edges to boost instrumental outlines and make sound that's exciting to begin with, rather than relaxing. It wasn't thin per se, but to my ears focused on separation, details, air and features of this sort. From your post I gather that Camertons sound denser and weightier?

You nailed it

That's good to know, thanks! Knowing where Solitaire-P is roughly versus Camertons, now I wonder where Camertons would land in comparison to Susvara. I'd still put my money on these being still thicker than HiFiMans, but that's just my guess at this point. Were you able to compare them by any chance?

I appreciate your thoughts.
This makes me wonder if I should skip the Solitaire.

Most of the impressions I've seen haven't been like yours, though.
Usually I hear that it has more thickness than Susvara, similar bass to Abyss, a bit less treble, and a great mid-range like Susvara.

Will you be at London CanJam this summer? If yes, you may want to do some test at Hifonix booth. The team will demo the Camerton for the first time in the UK and at a CanJam.
I have passed a Camerton to Koji @ ConvinceMeAudio for a review. I assume he will compare the Binom-ER to the most highend and regarded headphones in the market.

I listened to it today at CanJam UK and for me it is the best of the show. A very good surprise !

Only problem with it, the head band was a little too short, even when extended to the last click… !

Better than Spirit Torino Valkyria?

of course. The Valkyria is a joke (at least for me). I was very interested to listen to it and... what a disapointment !

I listened to the Camerton paired with the Kallyste at Hifonix's booth at UKhifi show live. It was amazing and the best I've ever heard. I would have bought both had the price not being close to GBP 20,000 for the chain. At half the price I would still think twice but that's just me.

Great review from CMA but the price point is super scary. Especially with the cost of proprietary cables and pads.

In Canada where I live these are well over $10,000 with shipping and taxes. I can get a mint second hand Susvara as well as an LCD5 with money to spare.
