I think Sammy can make several of his IEMs as pure silver/platinum-plated silver CIEMs, but it depends on the model. The Galaxy, Zombie and Saturn I believe, and the Eden, which is this one (with a view inside):

I have an A12t and its different enough from the U12t for me to have never agreed fully with any of the impressions out online. Everyone seems to say the U12t is a neutral, super clear sounding iem with great wide open soundstage and imaging, but my experience with the A12t has been slightly dark sounding in the upper mids to treble with the biggest subbass I've ever heard from balance armatures. It's left me with the need for even more subbass that is coming from more and more exotic locations.

I'm glad we're aligned, in this case w/64audio, on Customs boosting the bass :wink: Our earcanal shape makes one unique filter, thus a possible difference in sound between uiem and ciem.

Thanks!
Yeah these days my head is spinning at all the great things coming in :D

In a couple of months between the F7, Penta, the YB04, Dunu DK-4001, 3001 Pro demo and the Elysium, Erlkönig... and the recently acquired EM10...the Fusion is going to be a nice cherry on the cake and my first tribrid as well! I don’t know how the pros do it, almost bordering on ear fatigue!

Dunu announced the Luna in Shangaï today, a single DD but their new flagship, interesting! (Thanks to @audio123 for the heads up !)

World first pure beryllium “rolled foiled diaphragm” (not really sure what it entails, most informations right now are not in English :p )

Quite excited to know what @DUNU-Topsound has come up with there, given how high I rate 3001 Pro and 4001...
