There is also a tactile sensation of this peculiar pulsating vibration when you strike Plutus shells. Like an internal coil or string or something. You can actually hear this vibration when you have them in ear and you strike them with your finger.
That's new to me.
Any idea what this might be? Having to do with the DD BC implementation on the shell.maybe?
As I'm waiting for new and exciting iems to arrive I decided to dig into my collection and dial in a set that came at the same time as the DM, EDP ace and Elan+ so didn't really get much eartime. The Zenith 2 matched up with a nice thick silver plated copper cable, with blue bottom nozzles, Gold top and jvc spiraldot eartips vents closed, plugged into the IBasso dx170 boy does that 14.2 DD thump. A real unsung hero of an iem especially with Classic Rock, EDM and blues.
I'm so happy I hang on to iems cos when you maybe don't give them a chance because of getting a few together at the same time they slip by you unappreciated. You can rediscover a quite superb musical experience in the fallow months.
Edit
The depth is just breathtaking natural texture and details revealed in a wonderful analogue layered manner. Also excellent wide staging I'm now questioning why on earth it's sat unused for over 2 years. I suppose my collector sickness is to blame. A lesson in slow down fully appreciate what you have instead of chasing new new new

I had some early magical moments with the Z2, but it was also the only IMR unit where I had ear pressure issues, making comfort a real problem. Sold them to a forum member we all know only a month or so after I got them.
I wouldn't say it is a big step from Avalon level.
But a step up it is. As others mentioned here (@paggio), Avalon lost part of its treble performance
(which makes these models so special) after burn in. This is not the case with Titan.
It sounds like, how probably Bob envisioned this type of driver configuration to be.
And thanks to my dear friend @yaps66 this set is completely burned in, so what you hear is what you get...
Hopefully you get your Enigmas soon, I am sure they are going to be astonishing.
Something tells me that Bob figured out how to probably place the DD into the shell so that it might have
some of that BC bass rumble of later IEMs appearing in the market these days.
But this is just a conjecture.
While all of you are starting to receive your tardy little jewels. My Velvet tips just showed up. Haven't tried with the EDP yet - but man, with the Xelento 2 its a brand new IEM. Incredible the full bass impact has been unleashed and a lot - I mean A LOT more clarity and reach has been revealed in the upper mids and treble. - WOW just wow.

Honestly I'm stunned by what a difference they make. I didnt think anything would unseat my Azla Crystals but these have done it. I just slapped them on the EDPs and I wasn't sure at first, the staging came more forwrd but also somehow more open. As I began to adjust to the new sound, there is a lot more nuance detail retrieval, cymbal crashes are far more present. Thanks to you and @rottoman for posting about these. Definitely ordering more.
