You weren't joking about the sound either. What a beautiful pair.

Anyone here has compared these to the Alpha Omega Omega? Apparently the Omega has even better treble.

I haven’t tried the Omega yet so obviously can’t comment, but hopefully I can get to try it at some point and find out.

In a quick search I found two IEMs with that name one is $599 and one is $2,699. I think the cheaper one also has Ra in its name.

I was talking about the Alpha Omega Omega ($2699), not the Alpha Omega Ra ($599).

Excellent synergy with Hugo 2. Yes, it's almost at the same light green volume level as I run my HD800S.

I love them with the Questyle CMA Eighteen Master :L3000:

I barely listened on high gain the first time around and I got it again. Now I only listen on high gain with Anni. They can pry if from my cold dead hands!

Comparison would be interesting. It seems to be going for that "Anni but with 2 more estats and switches" vibe.

Given what Anni pulls off with estats, and my experience with quad estats (or higher) setups is that it seems to be running into driver wars territory.

I use the CMA 18M in standard gain, there is no difference with high gain

Hi, can anyone here who has RMA’d please give me an estimate for how much an out of warranty repair cost of one ear piece of the Anni 2023 gold would be whether it’s a reshell or a complete replacement of one? Through Elysian Acoustic Lab of course.

My dog bit one of the ear pieces and although it did not affect the sound or leakage, the bite marks are still bothering me and would rather just re shell or replace them if it isn’t more than $1000 USD. Thanks!

It's time to take another pause from the hobby.

Nice kit! How does the Hugo compare to the Mojo when paired with the Annis?

Have been thinking about upgrading, but with the Hugo 2 coming into its, what, 7th year? I also wonder if a Hugo 3 might be on the horizon.

That's also partly my copium though as I cannot afford any new gear this year...

One of the few iems, that can actually highlight the difference between Hugo 2 and Mojo 2 in my collection.
For Annihilator and the IE900, I would definitely upgrade to the Hugo 2. Better note definition in the Bass and mid-bass region, without getting shouty in the vocals.
Mojo 2 sounds smeary in comparison.
I had the OG Hugo and Mojo for 10 years and only recently upgraded to Hugo2/Mojo2 earlier this year. These are built to last, I would not worry about Hugo 3 and just pull the trigger for the going price in Classifieds.
