Yikes , I thought the SA6MKII sounded over dampened and dull.I like a relaxed pinna but the noir’s upper mids are giving me sa6 mk2 vibes, and I didn’t like that very much.

Maybe it's that 7-8khz spike that got me with the Pilgrim. I should have waited for the noir.
Yeah, I just saw the same thing...bigger box.Hello. Today delivery day. And this weekend will be listening one. I must order Pilgim and Noir too. No other way. I have to thank you very much Effect audio. They accommodated everything I asked for. Give me discount, help mi with tax and costums costs (Before you want order from them anything, write message to this guys). All perfect and i must highly recommend this producer. My favorite one in charge of cables. Thanks

Just received the Pilgrim/Noir tour kits. My first 5 minutes of unfair A/B test with the touring Noir and my own Pilgrim, Pilgrim wins hands down. However, it is the Noir stock cable with Pilgrim with Code 24.
How about both with stock cable, or Noir with Code 24 and Pilgrim with stock.Just received the Pilgrim/Noir tour kits. My first 5 minutes of unfair A/B test with the touring Noir and my own Pilgrim, Pilgrim wins hands down. However, it is the Noir stock cable with Pilgrim with Code 24.
Will try that laterHow about both with stock cable, or Noir with Code 24 and Pilgrim with stock.

How is the tech compared to U4S ?I like it better than the Pilgrim White, so far so good. But early, like 2 hours in. Less sibilant, smooth. Nice. A lot like the u4s.
Too early to tell. I need a few days to say for sure. I’m pretty mixed….How is the tech compared to U4S ?
haha Featuring the mighty Code 24 on the Pilgrim and then comparing with Eros S on the Noir seems a little unfair haha.

I am still in the middle of spending more time with them, but for Pilgrim, it is one of the most tip-sensitive IEMs. Since received Noir, I put the tips from Pilgrim to Noir and started to look for another tip for Pilgrim. During the tip rolling process, majority of my tips do not work. In some cases, I felt like the tips gave me a full seal but the sub-bass is simply thin and weak, and I now temporarily settled with Tri Clarion.
Spoiler alert for my future review, I am reaching the same conclusion as almost everybody else: Noir is simply better, to my dismay though.

I also use Tri Clarion for Pilgrim.

In what aspects are Noir better than Pilgrim, besides tuning?

For Me on the Pilgrim the perfect tip is the Coreir brass they extend the stubby nozzle giving a nice deep insertion and seal perfectionI am still in the middle of spending more time with them, but for Pilgrim, it is one of the most tip-sensitive IEMs. Since received Noir, I put the tips from Pilgrim to Noir and started to look for another tip for Pilgrim.

How is the noir with detail and clarity? I have the pilgrim, wondering if it’s worth it to get noir now?I am still in the middle of spending more time with them, but for Pilgrim, it is one of the most tip-sensitive IEMs. Since received Noir, I put the tips from Pilgrim to Noir and started to look for another tip for Pilgrim.

Will try these! Have the Mest MKIII which is similar to indigoDivinus Velvet is my new favorite tips. Some IEMs like Dunu SA6 has some vacuum effect that can be uncomfortable. I've tried many different silicone tips (Azla, Moondrop, Eletech, etc) with my SA6 and all of them gave me vacuum effect until I tried the Velvet. No vacuum effect at all.
I am now using Divinus Velvet with my Pilgrim, Mest Indigo and SA6. Will buy some more for my other IEMs/TWS.
