  For those who are interested in the thin Estron cables, I've written up a review of them for the BaX (1.4 ohm) variant:

Posted this in the thread, thought I would post here as well 

 
Nice write up tomscy2000, I can agree with your review and thoughts, I was hesitant when I first tried the cable but after 9 months of using them I don't want to go back to "chunky" ones. 
 
It is a shame you never tried the T2 connector, it is a breath of fresh air from the "old 2-pin" and "misused mmcx" designs.
 
I primarily use the Bax and the ones I have seem to have the same tangle free design as the music and vocal versions.

Wonderful review. More people need to see it, I wish it could be on the main page of head-fi.

Cosmic Ears sell those Linum cables, if you have a look at their website

Hi everyone i've been absent from this thread, and headfi in general...does anyone know if phil has redone the micros?

 

[daftpolecat]

Their last facebook post on the matter said
 

 We promised to bring the micro back and in April it will be available again. They will be available in single (CE1M) or twin (CE2M) driver configurations and will come with detachable ultra light cable as standard.

Phil, when your webpage will be updated with the new naming, new cables etc.? I'm still waiting for headphonia review of CE6

Hi Guys,
 
Looking into buying my first pair of custom iem's and these have really drawn my attention as they are so damn cheap?! i have been looking at the BA4 as it is supposed to be the customers favourite?
 
Can anyone vouch for this?
 
I mainly listen to electro/dance but am really starting to enjoy tracks with more vocals and guitar forefronts. having said that i would still like to oomph in the lower end to satisfy the bashed deep within me
 
can anyone comment on the BA4's sound quality and/or direct me to another pair? i can't seem to find the hybrid designs btw so I'm not sure about those?
 
Thanks!!

Are you referring to F or R version of BA4?

It would probably be the F version as I'm told that it stands for 'Fun'? i have also been told that it has more bass than the r

R stands for reference if i remember properly, not sure exactly how it differs from the F version though

 

[shakur1996]

F should have more bass than R version, but to my taste R version has a good amount of bass (I don't think that one may say that they are bass ligth, definitely not; FR graph shows that between the lowest dip in the midrange around 800 Hz and the highest peak in the bass there is a difference of around 6 dB) and it has nice subwoofer type of "growl" (CSD plot shows long note sustain).

The hybrids are the ones with HY in front of the model name.  At the moment only the 2 is listed and that is out of stock.  There was also the hy3, and the 5 apparantly is in development.  It might be best to hold off ordering right now for when the site gets updated.
