I set my IEM limit at $2000, which was the Legend X on sale. If I don’t set limits, I would end up not investing as much into retirement.

Totally fair and I've being holding myself a lot this last months too.
But man, after having the LX and Valkyrie and testing a few other Estats aroud and hear what they can do, I am really looking forward to see hold the Odin will come. I will definitely hold myself now until I see that.

I'm having fit problems (as usual for me) but empire is taking care of me. I'd give customer service an 11/10 for sure. That said, the limited time I've spent with the Valks have been a lot of fun and has opened me up to accepting v-shape a little more. I mean I did just buy an iem that's completely uncharacteristic if my preferred signature and I'm glad I did, I think the Valks have great value. The mids are a little more to my taste than the LX, and the estat is really worth its weight when it comes to the treble. And for a non bass head, the single w9 DD sounds just right.

So pretty.

edit: with the couple hours using it, it feels like a "Mini LX".

I did not get that impression at all. To me they sound completely different.

Works too, also impressions. Valkyrie has less bass an a bit more mid and highs. I liked it and will be my casual pair, but after one night I'm back to my LX. Customs is a no way back.

I agree, the LX and Valkyrie are not remotely close in sound. I returned my Valkyrie for this reason.

What didn't you like about the Valkyrie?

The Valkyrie had way too much treble and lacked the bass impact of the bravado. It did look the goods, but for the price just wasn’t worth it for me given the sound signature.

Did you go to the same audiologist as the previous time? If so might be worth giving someone else in your area a shot to see if that helps.

yeah I've been to many different audiologists, this time was the first time going to this audiologist. I don't have a particularly difficult ear shape to work with so I don't know. I should have had empire do them for me. I'm going back to my most trusted one, it's just that it's hard to get an appointment with them.

I was lucky to get two perfect impressions from the first audiologist I tried. I will go back if the need arises again.

After a fall yesterday, I broke the connector on my balanced 8 wire Effect Audio cable. Any good sources to solder on a new connector?
