Nor his Susvara 😁
Did you buy it from him? I see you have the Vykari paired with your Sus. I have the same cable and I love it. By far my favorite cable of everything I own.

No, Odin and EVO have very different signatures. EVO is a basshead IEM with very elevated bass and slightly recessed lower mids relative to Odin. Odin is more reference tuning so the signatures are complementary. They both have the same bass quality with the W9+ subwoofers. Both fantastic.

Some people with sensitivity toward upper mids have a problem with that Odin bump from 1-3k hz and EVO from 1.5-3k hz relative to neutral. I've found that I can address it with tips. Others address it with EQ. Others don't have a problem with it.

Noted. I’d probably like the Evo more. The last reference IEM I tried was JH Layla, and I wasn’t in love with them.

Bobby is definitely not into long term relationships with his IEMs.
Only the customs I am fully committed to but at this point I’d cancel the Annihilator if I could if I’m being totally honest, A12t is Bæ though.
Nor his Susvara 😁
Haha, headphone usage will never be for me. Glad I can say I “tried” them though.

Nope, I bought it way before him 😁 Yeah it’s definitely THE best sounding cable. It sounded great with Diana V2 (when I had them), Susvara and I have another one paired with TC. If the Vykari is back in stock, I’ll get another one for SR1a. It really is that good.

No thanks, you’ll just shill them on head fi and then PM me about how much you dislike it but you don’t want to hurt the resale value when you list it :)
Nah. I’ll cable roll and source roll and let it burn-in to give it a real shake before ripping it apart on the threads😎

That's funny.

Ahh, must have done a lot of that with the 3 hour Phonix ownership you had 😎
You guys are the Don Juans of the IEM world. I love the scene in Don Juan De Marco when he got stuck in Harem with 1500 women. That's you.

For me, I am more like the Emperor of China keeping my IEMs in the Forbidden City. 13000 of them.

Only 13,000?
