Per IMR's website, Titan has an 11.5mm DD with quad electrostatics and dual bone conduction drivers. I suspect there's some magic dust sprinkled in the shells as well.

The coherence and clarity is out of this world. I just played an old favorite of mine, Feed Me - Trapdoor, and the lower bass/subbass reproduction of that track is absolutely hands-down the best I've ever heard in any IEM or headphone. Ever. Frankly it rivals my stereo setup with 12" Rythmik servo sub. Just incredible.

Holy crap - that is some set of drivers o_0
I cant see the Titans listing anywhere though :/

It was - It started because I wanted to buy a cheap roll of film and they wanted to haggle and they got annoyed at ME for refusing to haggle and I just give them like $2

I was 'Up haggling' for a pair of jeezus creepers (sandals) as well which made it slightly more pythonesk

Probs going to need to start calling you Monty Parker from here on in...

I suspect that in that gap between 4k n 8k bone conduction drivers ad something to make this huge freq loss not so deep. Maybe classic microphones are not able to perceive bone conduction boost

Could be true. MEXT has the BC tuned to 2-5 kHz to emphasize that region, so maybe Bob uses BCs that way also. I can say that MEXT definitely has a deep stage and high resolution. Those frequencies can't really be as subdued as shown in the graph, or a ton of detail would be lost.

Was listening to Elan+ tonight and it was sounding a bit weird. I remembered an image I'd seen on the web and moved the direction of the nozzle in my ear and all sounded much better again.

Its not something I think about much but there are times when my music sound ethereal and other times it just sounds ok. Ive realised how much 'mood' 'tiredness' and even if my belly is full or not can have an effect on the perception of how music appears to me but I had forgotten sometimes how important the nozzle position can be !

I say this more in relation to the Elan+ because Im aware of how I try to make sure as much of the back of the shell is in contact with my head as possible to maximise the conduction of the bone conduction motors and maybe because of this I sometimes push the nozzle out of an ideal alignment?

Finally found the image I was thinking off...

Did anyone else get a shipping notice for Na-Le? I got one yesterday, but of course no tracking yet.

Shipping data is being inputed this week. I believe they will physically be shipped end of this week or early next week

Now if he'd just finish the EH....

Just remembered I did this for real in Jerusalem - I got so annoyed at having to haggle for everything I started haggling in reverse offering more and more money
At one point after a heated session my friends dragged me away and when I looked back he was literally hopping from foot to foot shouting at me ...'15 shekles' At this point I was up to 55 shekles

You're a very naughty boy

yer well, Isreal...no sense of humour that lot

I got nothing

I got nothing

Ditto. I'd almost forgotten I'd ordered them... when was it?... back in 2003?...

 

[fablestruck]

Same here. Still waiting...

Getting a tracking number for a pre-order IMR item does not mean anything significant for last one and half year. Titan tracking numbers were available in november last year, then re-generated again in March this year and utlimately most of the actual shipment received by the Royalmail at the end of last month only.

I received my tracking number yesterday. I don't know about Event horizon, but I believe that we should be able to get Na-Le and Zion in next couple of months. Interesting thing is that there is no final picture of Na-Le and Zion is availabe in either facebook or instagram yet.

Seraph are very tip dependant imo, Azla Crystals sound almost perfect with EDP Ace: sharp bold notes (whereas Azla Max soften the sound) but they make Seraph sound overly bright and push the mids way too forward, spinfits control that, but even IMR silicones sound surprisingly good apart from narrower soundstage and they're a bit 'boomy'. In fact each different tip I try affects Seraph noticeably it's like swopping filters. Spinfits are quite good but mid bass is much more distant sounding.
As Crystals work so well on the EDP Ace I automatically thought they'd work as well on Seraph which isn't the case.

I guess it is because of the BA drivers. Have you tried Acoustune 07 or Spiral dot eartips or Azla sendan Light(short) yet?
