The K10 is great. I'm a fan too. imho, the K10 has a bigger soundstage, and is more "omni-directional" - in the sense that I had a better sense almost of where each instrument was being played, where the vocals were coming from etc. The highs were also better in my opinion. Could hear the natural decay of a crashing cymbal and ghost notes on a snare. Overall, however, I felt that the K10 came across as more balanced and subdued, but also more accurate.

My take is that the S6Rui is the punchier of the two, and more fun. Slightly smaller soundstage, but makes up for it in liveliness and just sounding like a damn good mix. Complex arrangements really stood out because of the musicality of the tuning.

I think I would go for the K10 for critical listening. The S6Rui, for the everyday jive. Just my 2 cents.

I must qualify that (a) i did not compare the two side by side, neither did I use the same songs; (b) my experience with the Fearless line is limited only to the S4 and S5T (which I did not like), and the S6Rui (which was amazing to me); (c) I also do not own the K10, just happened to spend about 30 mins listening to it; and (d) I am by no means a professional, just another geek.

Cheers!

This was REALLY helpful. Thanks a lot!

Since my Laylas are pretty neutral I'd probably go for the Fearless. They are also MUCH cheaper. I might jump on the Massdrop drop.

I think the reason that that 6 core (and other ones) are cheaper is that the 4 core in question is extremely high purity copper and is quite heavy; in that one head-fi-er's personal tests, it had by far the lowest resistivity and was about 40% heavier than the average cable he measured. With the anniversary sale on AliExpress, it was still $83...

Ohh ok. I couldn't seem to find any difference but that makes sense. I'll say this, the markup for a dang pure copper cable is pure insanity.

Absolutely. I'd love to learn to make them at some point. In the meantime, I am like a cat: easily distracted by shiny things.

Looks like the BGVP Dm7 (6Ba) has officially been released (thought not on sale yet) at the Shanghai HiFi Headphones Exhibition.
Seems like BGVP has also stepped up their game in terms of look/design.
Was gonna go for another Fearless iem but may have to hold out and see what the DM7 is about...

Okay, I couldn't help it—the **** pure copper 4-core is on amazon, and they have 1-2 day prime shipping. and if you have prime and haven't signed up for the prime rewards card, you can do that and get $70 off, so it's like $50 to get it by Friday. Just gonna do that and pay it off immediately bc that's a powerful Deal

Do you have the link? Thanks!

Those make me rethink my faceplate chose for my S8Freedom. Only ordered mine last Monday from Linsoul, so probably have a couple weeks to be delivered to the western US hopefully.
