😅 We're waiting for the first tests.

I grabbed my ordinary fags and a cold glass of water since we hit 41 Celsius already and waiting for the update.
Was about to pull the trigger getting an Andromeda for the first time, then I thought wait a bit cause if the new one is better then the old ones will sell for quite cheaper!
Get some magic mushrooms when testing the new one, we need to break the news!!!!

"I have a headache, from critical listening".
Friday, I received the EVE20 and spent many hours listening and trying to analyze them, and finally, I ended up totally exhausted.
well then you get it and imagine I received the Solaris 2020 as well as the EVE 20

... and I should probably just keep my mouth shut. Last 3-4 weeks has been a flood of incoming stuff (iems, daps, cables, dacs, amps), some of which I mentioned about on FB, others in various forum threads, with a few being time limited demos which I'm already pass due :frowning2:

Looking forward to your impressions of Solaris 2020, the E02 board (relative to E01) and any VE stuff you may have been sent.

And meanwhile in the empire ears thread, @Jack Vang is teasing us about a new launch of their own. Presumably Odin, and presumably imminently.

Is that the Legend X followup? Lord save me.

That’s basically what I said
I frankly don’t know much at all about Odin. But seems like we will know more specifics soon. Campfire, Noble, and soon Empire. 64A must be feeling the heat. When will we see that K9 once and for all??
I will have to take out a home equity loan 🥴

Not 100% it's directly a legend x follow-up, but in that lineup, high end, with estat, at least those are the rumors I have read. Still not 100% sold on the need for estat but at least my wallet is relatively safe now since I imagine it will likely be pushing $3k, and I definitely have enough high end iems.

Odin is suppose to be under the eye watering Wraith price tag. If the estats can be handled like on the Valk, it would be interesting to see how the W9s go as well. Alas lockdown measures mean no demoing. Don't even know when I'll be able to demo a Sultan.
