I am seasoning. Tightening up less so. Shriveling yes!
flinkenick's 17 Flagship IEM Shootout Thread (and general high-end portable audio discussion)
Cheers to the Legend X...I feel that same way wrt my Solaris...both it and the Legend allow me to enjoy different recordings in different ways...there's a lot to be said for a nice complementary pair of IEMs.
When are you expecting it? Can't wait to hear your impressions!

Cute lil device. I was really hoping for dual 4499s and a tube output stage. In a tiny form factor and $165 of course
Hey maybe in five years, that won’t be so far fetched!
Yeah, thoroughly disappointed about the lack of a tube amp in there and the latest desktop class DAC chip...Cute lil device. I was really hoping for dual 4499s and a tube output stage. In a tiny form factor and $165 of course

Has anyone taken the plunge on a uni Elysium yet? I would love to read some impressions of that. Also, for people purchasing VE stuff outside of Europe does that tax get taken off?
I ordered mine today, so hopefully I’ll have it within a week or two once they finally start shipping out. It’s the same as the demo from Barra’s tour, so any of those impressions you read there should be the same for the universal elysium that’s for sale.
Yes, if you’re outside of the EU they take 19% off the site listed MSRP, but you are responsible for any import fees. DHL charged me about $41 to get my Erlkonig delivered.
$41 is small potatoes next to the 400 Euro that gets knocked off the 2500 Euro price when that tax is taken away. Looking forward to your impressions of it.
browse the tour thread, plenty of impressions on there
I'm familiar with others' impressions...I'm curious to hear what you think of the uni you receive relative to the uni demo you heard earlier.
I had posted my impressions there too. Not sure there will be any difference as it’s the same as the demo.

That's what I heard as well.
Btw, all the impressions praising Ely for its mids are absolutely true. It's very impressive how coherent the combo of BA lows, DD mids, and EST treble sounds. Only have about 20hrs of burn in, and already great. I was worried some were mentioning treble sibilance. The treble does sound vivid, but not sibilant to my ears. And once I started playing with eartips and settled on Symbio F (foamies), the fit is like I have CIEM in my ears and the treble is less intense. I also switched to Leo II octa for now.

I am beyond excited to receive mine, it’ll be a nice time passer until the LE Erlkonig arrives too
Yeah man, those mids are to die for. The general tuning of the Elysium doesn’t play that well with the EDM type I listen to (heavy bass lines usually involved) but the passages that sound good on the Elysium sound damn good, makes it an IEM I need in my collection for when the time calls for it.
Just received the Lotoo PAW S1! Whoop whoop!
It's solidly built and easy to use. You just use the 'Fn' button to scroll through and select from a range of settings, including rock, pop, classical, Movie, Game and Headphone.
All quite different from each other.
Am having fun watching a bit of The Expanse in 'Movie' mode on the S1. The 'DAH DAH DAH' kind of bass rumbles at the start of the episode sent a shiver down my spine, and the voiceover sounds like it's standing behind me and talking right into my ear

Honestly, it sounds strange to be excited about a dongle, but I look forward to hearing it and I do not have any 4.4mm, except cables that can swap plugs, ie. Luna. Question for you, how is the sound coming from the unbalanced 3.5mm?Just received the Lotoo PAW S1! Whoop whoop!
