Yea, Noble does that too. They don't announce the sale, until the previous day. In fact, they go to the extent of making you believe, there might not be a sale, to prevent people waiting for the sales, to make the purchase, which would affect their margin.

But, I doubt SE is trying to pull the same, as I have not seen any kind of sale after the 2015 CNY.

Maybe there will be some deals at NY CanJam...
I'm really skittish about ciems these days, went for a sale on acs Encores, had trouble getting good fit, went back a few times, and never really loved the sound. Have stuck to universals since.

The SE5 Ultimate is still my favorite iem. I wish I could have a universal that sounds remotely like it.

 
Agreed.
I know this is a bit cliché but when I listen to my SE5 Ultimate it simply gets out of the way allowing music to just flow.

I just wrote to Grzegorz to wish him happy new year and thank him again for creating this

I just noticed, Andro changed to Vega. Joy to the world

Hmmm, very interesting

 
Recently I've spent all that was left of my audiobudget on a LPG + Zeus XR, but luckily I think I haven't read something about great synergy between LPG and SE5 ult..
 
...yet

Spartan ADEL, not bad per se, I just don't like the tuning & ridiculous sensitivity & grainy treble (& floppy module as mentioned elsewhere). Doesn't realy compare to S-EM9, I even prefer Q-Jays (though tbh I use those more than even S-EM9).

I think other people including flickenick have written up S-EM9 much better than I can.

Think you were originally saying you preferred a bit brighter sound than the S-EM9? If so you could consider the NT6pro, it has a very similar sound but with less mid-bass emphasis and more upper treble. It's like a tighter, sparklier version of the S-EM9.

Master, when I come to embody the Tao will a pair of endgame CIEMs be conferred upon me?

And the real deal (Nics shootout) hasn't even started yet.
Where will this end?

LPG plus Zeus is a wonderful pairing despite the bit of hiss, especially XIV. I am sorry to say that LPG + SE5 Ultimate is also one of my favorite things on the planet...made me buy the LPG.

The path to endgame is paved with bloated bass, sibilant highs and empty wallets. You must be patient
