We are getting close to May. Still no release date ?
 
We started talking about them half a year ago, right ?

hopefully they are worth the wait.

I am definitely interested in these.  I have and use everyday the em5813, and I adore the sound of them.  The bulky cable is a complete PITA, and they are heavy, but of all the IEMs I have gone through the sound of them keeps me engaged and fatigue free.  They are not the most comfortable, but the sound is.  I run these out of my RWAK100s with amp, and they need no EQ (yeah I know my source is old, but it sounds good!).  If these are near the same sound sig, I am in big time.  With the Audeze LCD-2/3/X, I have to EQ the AK to get the sound I want, but with the Cardas em5813, I use no EQ and the sound is simply spot on for me.  These look to be for me.  I have spent so much on IEMs and the cardas do it for me.  I guess I have strange tastes considering how so many people think they are rolled off, or dark, or lack detail...I can kind of see where that perception comes from, but I just simply enjoy the music when I use them.  That's what it's all about, isn't it?  Any news on these coming out?  Are they available yet?

That's the news we've all been waiting for.  May is right around the corner.  Brace yourself for delays should that be the next update.

I wouldn't be holding my breathe.....

Straight from Cardas:
 

 We do not have an official release date but we are moving forward. We might start full production next month.

That is what they told me when I made this thread.

Unexpected snafus can always arise, but they seem to be keeping to their internal timetable on the A8.

Hopefully the gap between debut ETA and actual ETA is a lot smaller than the EM5813.

 

[audionewbi]

All I know is I respect cardas house sound and it is very addictive.

any update
 
wonder how different they sound than previous model

Welp midway through may... I might just have to get a EM5813 and suffer with the long cable while mowing. Oh well at least it won't have issues like my RE-262 is about to start having. I guess ill get the A8 one day when they come out and the EM5813 for now. I hope the 5813 is as good as people say. The RHA t 10 body doesnt fit me or else i'd get the T20's... I hope another good dynamic fits me like my RE-262 since i'm not fond of BA earphones.

 

[audionewbi]

I wouldn't do that, model 1 are heavy and don't isolate.

Tyll said the prototype was less dark than the previous model.

But blue is not as bright as copper color!
