yeah, I asked for another graph with the ST6A and the GD3A. Will upload it when I get it.The ST6A graph certainly looks good.
Anyone got the SE5? I think that is the cheapest ESTAT hybrid available.

Yeah, it is the cheapest EST tribrid right now.Anyone got the SE5? I think that is the cheapest ESTAT hybrid available.

Don’t forget you’ve Land…Anyone got the SE5? I think that is the cheapest ESTAT hybrid available.
It's right now in my ears, paired with OS849 and playing Biffy Clyro from M3X...man, what a delight! I don't know if any other tribrid in this price range can best this... although I have not heard the XENNS UP, Thieaudiop Clairvoyance, and they may very well can, but unless I am listening to them, I really cannot believe how can they be better than Land!Don’t forget you’ve Land…
But yeah, I was getting a bit of interested in the 390 USD SE5, not gonna lie. However, following Rockwell's thread, I am now rather interested in the Oriolus Reborn. Do not have a DD+BA hybrid now, so it may turn out to be a nice counterpart to my Land. Not sure though, and do not have money now also...

@Ace Bee you’d chose your target price, how can you believe GS SE5 would compete with any Oriolus?
Land is an amazing iem and it’s near IT07, but can’t compete with Hero or Mest MK2.
Anyway I love land.
If I understood your preferences you’d prefer crassi over reborn, but maybe also new Aroma Witch Girl W6.2
I’ll receive it next week.

Wow! You went through and procured it? Eager to know your impression!@Ace Bee you’d chose your target price, how can you believe GS SE5 would compete with any Oriolus?

I admit, SE5 may not compete with any of them...I was just mildly curious.
However, Hero has more abundant bass than Land, right? I love Land's bass, but if the decay was any slower I'm afraid that it would have eaten the air. Doesn't the Hero have such bass?
Do the Hero and Mest mk2 have more 3 dimensional holographic imaging and soundstage than Land?

Hero has less mid bass and a bit forward upper mids, hero bass is fast, kick hard and never goes on mids.
I use Hero with OSG cable and Land with NYX
Mest Mk2 is a bit warmer than Land, more depth on mids and better headstage, bass is huge and natural, highs never offend me.
Both hero Mest has better imaging than land but cost more than double.
Wow, those are quite close. Looks like they're mainly using the extra drivers to avoid some of the harmonic peaks in the upper treble. The GS Audio reps really are awesome.

The GD3A looks better to me.Wow, those are quite close. Looks like they're mainly using the extra drivers to avoid some of the harmonic peaks in the upper treble. The GS Audio reps really are awesome.
I suppose that argument could be made. The bass and treble gain are more evenly balanced, and the DD bass will likely be more impactful as well.The GD3A looks better to me.

I was browsing AE, and this GS Audio caught my attention. Looks like legit IEM OEM, housing Sonion/Knowles.
I’m more interested in GT series full BA. Any info? ST series look interrupted too. I’m looking Mangird Tea’s mid quality + better layering treble, Sonion-based bass.
My concern is: “is this simply, hey lets pack things together” style IEM or carefully tuned ones like DUNU SA6. If simple pick and pack, I’d stay only up to 2BA+1DD, because that’s the limit of any company with less tuning skills could somehow shape the IEM to OK line..
GT8 : $176

GT10: $209

Personally, I'd have more faith in their performance series rather than competitive series, as the competitive lineup seeks to use a similar driver composition and materials as today's market and offer it at a cheaper price.
Performance series on the other-hand aims toward performance of the iem itself. Now I can't confirm any of this, but if this is the way they advertise their products, I'd say the performance series has more merit for me
Also, I've checked all their lineups and they do use Sonion BA to handle the bass region for balanced armature sets.
