Sorry guys, I don’t mean to shift the chat towards the Traillii, but my wife made me laugh today, so I couldn’t resist to share it with you... :smile:

When I showed her the picture of Traillii, her first reaction was : “Wow! They look like ham!” 🤣
With her, everything somehow has to revolve around food, but I have to admit she totally nailed it on this one! They look like a fine piece of Serrano ham!! :beyersmile:

Even the shape looks like the piggy leg

So I couldn’t resist making a very poor Photoshop 🤣 :

I’m not sure if that’s what the guys at Oriolus were aiming for but I think it’s quite convincing!!!

Lovely - my wife and me are big time in food and a delicious "pata negra" is unbeatable. Since we are sometimes in Madrid we always buy some - I'll next time check if we find a matching colour to the Birdy...
So you are lucky - you have 3 senses being pleased to the outmost possible - vision, taste and listening - what else do we need in paradis !

If I recall correctly, it is indeed Wagyu that is graded on marbling; a scale from 3-12. Whereas the ham is typically graded on how long its been aged (similar to parmesan and balsamic vinegar)?
not comparable - Wagyu is beef and jambon serrano is porc - it just shows how universal the Traillii is - as already mentioned by others - it plays to ALL TUNES !
But it certainly beats either of them in terms of price/kg - that is true.
We eat by the way both - Wagyu in France is imported from Australia (not Japan) and tastes incredible - so instead of buying 1kg of normal meat we buy 200g of Wagyu for the same price and it does the job. Like the Traillii - less is more...

don't worry about that, you are safe - it has NO real meat inside - but a lot of goodies like rare earths, copper, and moste likely some zink, alu and a few other metals that are very healthy. It has NO glucose and is absolutely gluten free !!! So it is safe for people with health conditions and money allergies ! Best of all - the expiry date is far in the future - so you can store it - no refrigeration required either - so simple and so solid.
But don't forget to unwrap it before consumption :blush: !

Wow, such an ingenious answer!

So funny!
Thanks fr that! :grin:

I am wondering whether the Bass will bleed into the Ham-range if you are at a buffet....

I’m not sure if I’ve mentioned this before as well.

I’ve actually also read that even though the S.K is warmer and musical, it is also noticeably brighter than the A8000.

So it definitely seems like the graphs are right with that. But again it’s still all speculations right now. It’s almost as if we’re reliving the Fourte and Noir again 😂

But yeah, we gotta wait for the almighty @crinacle to do the honour of measuring the second coming of the Noir 😂

EDIT: And as for the Elysium, it just looked to me that the upper mid elevation was quite similar. But that is true the brighter treble of the S.K based on that graph would definitely be quite a noticeable difference.

Graphs of an iem that does not yet exist in Final form (pun intended).

Yes - and the butcher says: FRESH DELIVERY - GET YOUR SLICE OF THE TRAILII BIRD - 1000 kauri shells for 1g of Traillii - first come first serve. I agree - we should nominate this photos for to be a serious candidate for best of.... - i am surely putting my hands up for it. It was/is a genius photo.

Good to have some fun in our serious world...
