Jack's been so busy tinkering with his one-off 24 driver IEM and the Zeus R that he hasn't seen the light of day in weeks. Seriously though, last time we spoke it sounded like Jack has a busy schedule this month so he's probably keeping his nose to the grindstone and powering through his schedule.
Umm, John did a 20 driver build up years ago. The 24 driver was an April fools joke, looked really cool though.
You say April Fool's joke, but it actually works.

Phase issues no doubt. With all those drivers who knows.
Prototype, April Fools joke, or proof of concept it's still quite an engineering feat.
I believe those are called prototypes.
The comments say it all. Kind of a joke, but does work, and phase issues, so we are all correct.

Quick question about the supra if that's ok. Just wondering how flush they are meant to sit in the ear? No matter how I put them in (cable up, linum) they still stick out quite a bit. Was just wondering if I was doing something wrong? Using spin fit tips. Left ear fits ok, right is annoying. Small is too small but medium feels a touch large. Same with Comply (plus I've had one of those come off in my left ear a couple of times so don't like using them!).
Thanks for any info or (constructive) advice.

You should use another tips like Westone Star tips or EarSonics tips (my favourite
)
Sweet sweet loot !
My first custom made cable. I can finally experience balanced output for myself. I'm giving up on 3.5mm TRS singled ended output on the Onkyo DP-X1 because that jack has to be faulty. I got the same curse with it I had with the BTG Starlight cable that came with my original Zeus; short recap: any slightest movement of the cable or rotation of the TRS barrel leads to unplugging itself and causing the music to pause stop playing. Ultra annoying. I got the same thing happening with the big angled plug used by Effect Audio in their Ares cable (will ship it back to you Jack, forever grateful )
So glad I picked the 2.5mm TRRS Eidolic spacious barrel for the Onkyo. it's flush, solid, won't budge. Works perfectly.
I admit I do take pride wearing that flat braided Therium and the abalone Zeus. It's becoming my mojo ^^ Yeah baby! Yeah!
I mean just take a look at those Zeus!
They do stick out a weeny bit more, but that's a solid abalone piece, so it lead to a thicker faceplate.
Inkscape was a nice and relatively easy free software to use for vector based design/drawings. The custom artwork engraving rendition gave a beautiful result I think.
What a tremendous pleasure and privilege to lose oneself in music, look up to the sky, gaze at the clouds while profoundly smiling back.

How ironic, you get a 2.5 TRRS cable the same day mine is being sent back to me to get rid of the 2.5 TRRS. 2 AK players that I didn't like using that connection. Back to reg 3.5 TRS.
If you settle for 3.5m TRS, you have GOT to go for 6 conductor in full 6 flat braid up to Y splitter then 2x 3 flat for L+R. It's craaaaaaazy good looking. 4 cond flat looks meh, but 8 flat is gorgeous. 6 gets to eat the cake and dance with the prom queen
