Anyone hear a rumor of the cl2 replacement being released soon?
I know it's called burn in. And believe in burn in. But for the sake of not offending anyone I left it as some mystery of nature! Lol
I think I read in earlier posts the moderator was going to shut down the post if we spoke of burnin.
Anyway. Love my CL2.
What flaw?I think burn-in in the physical space is reasonable; it'd be sad if people were getting bashed for that. However, I've seen few claiming burn-in of digital components and that's kinda where I draw the line.
That said, I haven't seen night and day burn-in effects in my experience (I'm betting most of those claims are mental burn-in). With the CL2, tried it out of the box and it was way too metallic/dry between the upper mids/lower treble (everything else sounded fantastic though). But to give the benefit of the doubt, I burned-it in for 400-ish hours and paired with a pure copper cable. It was better but no way "night and day" - I could still hear the problem.
Really hope RHA fixes this with the CL3. I was really impressed with everything outside of this flaw; it's a shame really.

I don't hear that at all."too metallic/dry between the upper mids/lower treble"
I don't hear that at all.
Could be your source or your cable or your tips. The CL2 is super revealing...
Let us know what you think of the treble once they are burned in a little...Out of the box they were a bit bass shy, I did not hear any metallic tones in the treble, so that's good.
These have to be the clearest monitors I have ever listened to, I can hear everything, and unless I am mistaken, they remind me of speakers, and do not really sound like other iems I have listened to,. The pair I have has already changed a lot in the hour that I have had them, so I will let them burn in for a few more days.
Pretty impressive so far.
Cables are extra long and uncomfortable, the Cl2 themselves are a phenomenal fit. .
Might be why they are heavily discounted on Amazon. Also, no RHA official store, who used to sell them on Amazon as well.Anyone hear a rumor of the cl2 replacement being released soon?
Thank you, I am definitely going to need a new cable for these. The Hooks pull the CL2 out of my ears if I turn my head too quickly.All copper Sony Kimber 4.4 cable. $150 on eBay. The perfect cable and the improvement is notable over stock. The quality of the cable is top notch. And the 45 degree angled 4.4 connection is the bomb

I am hoping the bass opens up a bit more with burn in like others have said on this forum.
