I bet the Solar (from Rhapsodio, not God, sorry Sammy) will be in the top. And I would guess the Aether and Empire Ears as well, but that is pure guess as I haven't heard these two.

I haven't compared the Solar side by side with the SE5 ultimate. The ultimate always sounds different from the rest, custom silicone sounds special too I think. But if I consider getting one while I own the other tells you something.

Have always wanted to hear about Solar and Aether, so I'll be waiting patiently.

Can't wait to see how the Apollo X and the Hifiman RE1000 compares to the rest! Will you be interested to try the new CustomArt Ei.XX too?

 

[PoRidge]

Yes!! Finally the non-pro harmony 8s will get some attention . I have mine coming in the next 2-3 weeks hopefully.

 

[Rin1990]

Hmm, not that I recalled, but has jelt done any listening impressions on the Fitear monitors? Jaben seem to still hold a small amount of their models and I am slightly curious.

 

[ezekiel77]

The Solar, Aether and Apollo are proper flagships, but I reckon the RE1000 and VE5 will be dark horses. The VE5 is a mids monster, while UM+Hifiman teaming up might make something magical.

 

[robm321]

You are a miracle worker, jelt. Can't wait to read about the latest batch.

 

[Epunrated]

Quite curious bout the next trip. I have heard mh335dw-sr, it's simply the mid monster i have ever heard. I only take focus in ve6 and se6 ulti, and want to see how well they present, the result could make me easier to choose the final temporary combo for me till the end of next year, i think. Rhapsody solar also seems to be an interesting thing i should try.
