You're right, that's exquisite. Thats going on the purchase list....OMG such a beautiful tune! Thank you. I'm a huge Olafur Arnalds fan and never heard this before. I come to this forum for (excellent) headfi advice. Other than IMR, this is the best thing I've discovered here! Thank you.
Do you also know Max Richter - Similar top Modern Classical composer
Yes! I love this album. It's brilliant, a reworking of a brilliant set of songs!
A personal favourite of mine from Max Richter:
For me: 'Memory house', 'Blue Notebooks', 'Infra', and 'Songs from Before' are just as about as perfect as you could ever wish for!
RAHs are in the house! Finally got them and all I can say is holy cow, these are amazing! Out of the box with Black / Black and the stock silicone, I was pretty blown away... I moved over to Black / Red with foams and my my my... Wow. Deep lush & expansive bass moving into those buttery Smooth mids and all that deliciousness of clarity, detail and sparkly resolution up top with nothing crowding anything else out. But you already knew that. I too have dropped a small fortune on various IEMS this past year in particular but these are far more than I was hoping for. They are everything I loved about the Zeniths with even more detail in the bass with all the harshness and metallicness removed. I wouldn't call myself a bass head, but if the black lowers produce a slam like that with all that texture and detail then perhaps I am. I was pretty convinced I would never sell my P1s (which IMO blow the CL2s away) because of the detail and clarity they produce but with the RAHs Bob has done it. The Planar in there does everything I was hoping for and that massive DD + Piezo back fill and round it all out. I know they change and morph with a few more hours but I think I'm in love.
Don't read the YT commentsInteresting. I usually don't like Classical music and until now I did not bother listening to it on the RAH. But God damn there is so much emotion in this piece and it sounds absolutely brilliant with these IEM's. A real joy to listen to, especially at such a late hour. Didn't even notice how time went by haha.
Combining the high performance Aten 15mm driver with a electrostatic driver with its own internal transformer (no additional special power supply required), the R3 Halcyon is for those who want the best bass response in the business combined with detail and placement levels usually the preserve of 8+ driver iems.
The tuning offers ultra detail retrieval and placement while retaining the wonderful organics you are used to with an IMR in-ear monitor. Mids and treble will satisfy the most hardened audiophile while providing an exciting listening experience full of body and SOUL.
“Impulsive” or whatever set of character traits passes for it is probably the reason we’ve got this crazy innovative, boundary-pushing line-up in the first place though! It’s difficult to follow sometimes, and nothing is ever set in stone, but as you say customer service is at an exceptional standard so the rough edges are smoothed over. Bob replied to me individually before sending out the collective e-mail - a small detail that illustrates his dedication to each and every customer before marketing concerns. And I was writing to request a refund!I really like Bob's engineering and his customer services has been unbelievable however I would say he seems a bit impulsive at times.
Sounds good... a pretty different take on the IMR house sound then. How is tonality? The Zenith was a bit grating for me, the Red seem like a polar opposite. IMR drivers have it in them to sound tubey, and respond well to tube amplification.Top Of The Line Vintage Tube amp system - This is how the R2 RED's sounds. Relaxed, smooth, warm, luscious
