Alright I can't listen to any source I have now other than the SMSL stack. I understand people's issues with the S1 and Thummim combo now lol. Night and day difference.
Ok. I see the pre-order is now up at musicteck... Do we know when these will start to ship?Don’t think they’re shipping yet.
Andrew expects to have them by June 25 or thereabouts.I think MMR said mid June? I’m not sure. Definitely intrigued by this one since it has the same shell as the Gae Bolg which is one of the best fitting IEMs I have used.
I want it to be Thummim?
If so we hear similar, IE900 would be a big unexpected surprise if it destroys Odin and Thummim.
Thanks man! I'm using an A7 III and two Amazon LED panels lol, nothing too fancy. Still have a lot to learn but was relatively happy with how these ones turned out. As Dan said, mirror faceplates are hell with smudges and dust but oh so rewarding when you get it right.Lovely shots Ryan. Those faceplates look amazing. What kind of camera gear are you using, btw?
@Deezel177 Posted his impressions earlier in this thread, hope he doesn't mind me quoting him here:Any new impressions of the Balmung? Anyone bought these yet?
The Balmung comes with the Eletech Column? That's interesting..The aesthetics is quite amazing btw!Closest I can provide to a Balmung impression is my lil sister received them in Barcelona and said “they sound sooooo good”
I’ll be able to chime in on Friday but I think her description is probably more useful than anything I can add

"Well, fine. Right now, what I can say is that they're a very light, yet wet-sounding pair of IEMs. I'd compare them to a meadow at dawn; radiantly, yet softly lit - no sharp shadows or blown-out highlights - and kissed by the lightest mists of dew, which gives everything this soft, feathered glow. Instruments have a come-and-go that doesn't necessarily translate to the snappiest PRaT you'll ever hear, but it does make them sound incredibly natural. They're compensated by a black backdrop and a well-tidied image as well. They feel tailor-made for jazz or the emotional (rather than the studious) side of classical; unideal, perhaps, for genres that require sheer transient attack or contrast. They definitely have enough down low to deliver that oomph on R&B or hip-hop, but that resonant glow of the midrange is unshakeable. But, again, put on some Renee Olstead or some Anita Baker, and you're really, really set. I'll break it down further tonally and technically when I have the time. Until then, I'll be listening. Stay tuned."
I wrote up an impressions post here also. Cheers!
That column (and the bacakground) comes with the Aeneid; not the Balmung.The Balmung comes with the Eletech Column? That's interesting..The aesthetics is quite amazing btw!
How does the Balmung compare against the Thummim? With the Thummim coming to EOL, i would reckon it's MMR's answer to a flagship replacement, at a much affordable region
