Can I ask which ear tips are those?Today is a good Tuesday.
Only had them in a few tracks, but I think we're going to be friends.
Congrats man. The cable looks like code 23Today is a good Tuesday.

Cable is substantial but definitely not a problem weight wise. Pliability is quite nice, the cladding keeps cable shape over the run of the cable but is quite locally permissive to touch or the lay of your shoulders etc.Nice!! Congrats. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on em. That cable looks pretty beefy! How’s the pliability?
They were installed stock, they look and feel exactly like Symbio W hybrid tips to me. The orange colorway is a very handsome pairing, and on these particular IEMs they are providing quite a nice fit for me out of the box. Tip rolling will come later, but I have no problems with the stock option here.Can I ask which ear tips are those?
I have code 23 coming on Thursday, so I'll be able to post some direct comparison pics. The RN6's cable is a good gauge, but I'd be very surprised if it is close in diameter to the Code 23's honking 16.5 AWG (and that's probably a good thing for most people lol).Congrats man. The cable looks like code 23
Excuse me, I have to go return some video tapes <pops Phil Collins on the RN6>
Look at that cable. It even has a Fir watermark.

Resolution with gobs of warmth is Xe6's secret sauce, so while it's not the most resolving set ever released, it's still there at the top.Resolution/detail retrieval wise, How does fur xeon 6 hold up to other TOTL IEMs out there? 64 audio u18s/t, 64 audio fourte, empire Odin, empire evo, VE Ext, VE Phoenix, Sony Z1r, UM mest mk2, Moondrop S8 etc? Thanks all
Is that Cillian Rail?

I had the chance to sit down with Phonix, EXT, and Xe6 yesterday to compare them, and while Phonix does pull ahead of Xe6 a little on details and resolution, it’s much closer than you might think considering Xe6 abundance of mid bass and lower mids. VE EXT is a fine IEM, but is not really close to either, in fact I found it quite jarring when switching to it from Xe6, a bit like going from a 4K TV to 720p.Resolution/detail retrieval wise, How does fur xeon 6 hold up to other TOTL IEMs out there? 64 audio u18s/t, 64 audio fourte, empire Odin, empire evo, VE Ext, VE Phoenix, Sony Z1r, UM mest mk2, Moondrop S8 etc?

The graphs aren't massively dissimilar, but seem to demonstrate a tweaked tuning. The driver count is the same, with the main difference being the size of the kinetic bass port. I wouldn't expect there to be any sacrifice in technicality. If anything, as it was explained to me, the mids were clearer on the rn6, though not technically "better", largely because of the way the rn6 has been tuned.Can anyone say how the Rn6 compares technically to the Xn6? Especially given the price difference, I would think the Xn6 would be better in that regard. The question would be in what way and to what extent.
I think you'll get some good feedback on this very soon as Rn6 sets are delivering for a few here today. I know @Auricon has the Xe6 and has an Rn6 incoming. @aaf evo will have both sets shortly too. @twister6 also posted some brief comparison notes in his CanJam 2023 review (scroll down about half way on page 2). He describes Rn6 as a "side-grade" to Xe6. A different flavor, if you will.Can anyone say how the Rn6 compares technically to the Xn6?
My guess is that the move from SS to Alu shells contributes slightly to the price delta between the two sets. Also, it's likely that the initial R&D cost was more impactful in the Xe6 price and that learned knowledge was then leveraged in the making / tuning of Rn6. This could further explain the price difference between the two sets. I would be surprised if the Rn6 is any less competent or "technical" than the Xe6.Especially given the price difference, I would think the Xn6 would be better in that regard. The question would be in what way and to what extent.
