I'm guessing at $800, these will have to be a pretty special set. Certainly will be interesting to hear thoughts on them.
I don't think those have even been listed yet for sale.

According to Effect Audio, release for Pilgrim Noir is the 27th of this month... so while you can order the set from vendors offering it, I don't think they're shipping units out quite yet.

Those are placeholders for those upcoming releases at musicteck, they have never been in stock yet. So They have not sold any yet at all. You can get them direct from Elysian, but that doesn't help anybody outside of that area.

Curious about your thoughts on the Pilgrim vs the Sliivo SLT6! Ever since you mentioned the SLT6 as being underrated I've been curious about it, and I like the Anni so I'm naturally interested in the Pilgrim.
When it comes back from tour I will try to a/b I hate going off my poor memory

Emailed Elysian to get a heads-up on my order. First batch will start shipping around mid-May... wait, that's next week. Here we go!

Anyone who got their Noir yet?
No. But zepp in Singapore have a prototype. Sp3000 which can be vastly different to other sources. Eletech baroque tips. Asked to use my own cable and had a LL Venom. Apologies for edits-correcting phone input

Compared to Pilgrim I thought noir better balanced and technically superior IeM. Less sub and mid bass hump. Pilgrim was too heavy in the bottom end for me. Also congested. Mids smoother on Noir. Slight warmth to the Low mids but at the same time, without seeing a FR there is a a treble peak on piano and vocals that may (or may not) trouble you.

I’m one who also thought the timbre of the mids on Pilgrim were thin on the lower half of the mids and vocals somewhat nasal. However, track dependent. Taken as a whole, an adequate commuter IEM.

I would pick Noir over Pilgrim.

Brief impressions only.

Nah, it's not there anymore - maybe it was available during CanJam time. Asked for it a week after CanJam and they said they don't have it.


Umm… I was there … like 2 hours ago

Perhaps being prototype it is on request only? Or they got it back? I didn’t mind it at all and was grateful for the time they spent with me. The range and “can do” efficiency at Zepp was impressive.

My first visit. I was late to a family engagement otherwise would have happily spent time there. And placing a purchase.

Waaah...really? Been there twice these last 2 weeks and asked them but they said they don't have it.

Maybe you're VIP! :laughing:

Anyway, already blind purchased the Noir, I guess I'll just wait for my set.

Still on the fence with the Pilgrim.....


....Anyone else heard the DaVinci? Already got an initial impression from another group. But would like to get more impressions. To me, it's either the Pilgrim or DaVinci

First visit … no spend history . More a “Not Important Person”. :) I did facebook message asking to try Canpur 622B and Anni 2023 before coming. Just a nobody who was impressed I got to try what I asked for. I may have been a little blunt when asked what I didn’t like about Pilgrim. Definitely more attention than if I had walked into a Rolex boutique and ask to try a watch #IFKYK To be fair, they left me alone and seemed busy. I didn’t have enough rapport or know them enough to strike a conversation. If I can get away again before leaving Singapore I’d love to spend more time there.

I did have to ask for Noir a few times.

Really enjoyed Anni 2023. Lovely timbre and tuning. Felt it would have been better with a portable amp. Just happened to have the LL Venom on me. Nothing ‘wrong’ with Martini but Anni deserved better. That “X” factor when your first impression is positive. It was my pick of the very, very brief time I managed to be there.

Pilgrim made me think of the AirPods Pro. If you don’t think too hard, it comes together ”not too bad”. But if you try to tease it apart just minutes after listening to multikilobuck IEMs like the 622B/Anni2023. I will conclude that I didn’t think that Pilgrim or Noir will challenge Anni or the be that “kilobuck” killer.
