I missed this too, but totally agree with
@Kerouac and his assessment of the Solar. That said, I do have the S-EM9 and love them equally to the Solar, but they're very different sounds. Where the Solar is warm and musical overall, the S-EM9 is a fairly enhanced U-shape sound with incredible treble extension and bass that rivals some dynamic drivers. I think the Solar is the more adaptable IEM for most genres of music, but the S-EM9 holds a special place in my hear too for pop or electronic music. Sadly, or fortunately, these are probably the two IEMs that I own that I will NEVER sell. I re-purchased the Solars after selling them and regretting it a month later, so that might tell you something. Suggesting a trade is tough, so it really comes down to whether or not you fancy a more natural, warm and musical signature or very detailed and technical (but still fun) sound of the S-EM9.
Well i've made the swap, but ive got track record with sellers remorse so we'll see. Since ive had A18t, I had stopped listening to the SEM9s, but i think you could be right about missing them as my infatuation with the 64audios is definitely on the wane, so much so i've stuck them up for sale too. Unfortunately or fortunately depending on how you look at, i set myself budget with some "non-declared" (to my other half) funds raised from downsizing my home hifi. This has still put in very lucky position where i can manage keep a core set up, of a pair of customs, universals and a nice dap, with a small float left over to play the classifieds and try as many flavours as i can a long the way.. fingers crossed these are more salted caramel then aniseed, but thanks again for the intel its much appreciated
