Thanks for the quick review of the Alpha Omega Fulgrim! it is the only IEM, I am truly waiting for, and nobody else has talked about it!

The one thing that really grinds my gears about Fulgrim is preorders used to be 4750, and now they are 6900? It’s a bit disingenuous (imo) to offer preorders at one price over a year out then suddenly raise them by a huge magnitude and think nobody will notice it.

If you ask me, no amount of changes can warranty such a ridiculous price jump within 1 year. Particularly when the IEM bracket is so competitive at this price point.

I actually think you mentioned it yourself.

When it was $4700he only didn’t have it completed. He decided to add a bunch more to it and had to raise the price

I don’t know why you’d condone a preorder of an incomplete product and then see the price get raised…no need to accept preorders at all until you’re ready to put it out…if i remember correctly, it was ‘near completion’ around late July 2024. Longest I’ve seen a preorder for delivery is a few months tops, not a whole year +.

Generally when you pre-order something that means you lock in the price point. A price increase like this seems like a pretty blatant cash grab “because they think they can” due to the increasingly competitive market (APX SE, Chron, and now Mysticraft). Just my 2 cents.

Good lord man that’s beautiful

weird it wouldn't let me quote or add to multi quote...

Looks like a Syrnarn upgrade cable?! I got the interconnect I bought years ago (got two of the mixed alloy wire). Haven't seen the full cable version. That rig looks gorgeous!

The price jump might be tariff related more than price gouging? But I don't have a skin in this game.

EDIT : Just saw the follow up post.
