No idea but he is not here for this hour I don't know earlier hour.
Finally listened to Roxanne this morning. Excellent as expected. Also get a chance to listen to K10 as well as the 8C, which I prefer the later. I don't have a lot of time with them so no detail comparison from me, but I think it is pretty safe to say they are all excellent in their own right and worthy being referred as top tier, though none is noticeably better than others. The variable bass on the Roxanne does work really well, from neutral to very bassy and it is fairly easy to find the level of liking.
Just out of curiosity, has Jerry made any remarks about whether the Roxanne Universal sounds the same as the CIEM, or if they are intended to be different 'flavours' of sound?
I mean, one would tend to assume that they are at least intended to sound pretty much the same, but, as they are so fond of saying in managerial circles, 'assume' makes an 'ass' out of 'u' and 'me'...

You guys realize this is after all a business.

Would you mind giving more detailed impressions of the Roxanne vs the 8c?
Just out of curiosity. I've received the 8c one week ago, and just wanted to know the difference.
Thanks
Jerry said the difference between the demo unit on MOOK and the universal version should be fairly minimum. It will still has the same drivers and cable, but made with a more precise mold since the demo is all handmade while the universal is handmade + machined, and also has a slightly longer nozzle. However, it should be be more or less the same sound. Of course with the addition of the eartips, it might not be totally identical to the CIEM. Though from Jerry impression, they don't seem to be vary far off each other.
Sorry, really can't since I listened to both not at the same time. But personally I really like the 8C, which I think the sound signature is very well balanced and a big improvement over their old days on Heir Audio. If I have to make a quick judgement, I'll say I like the 8C the most, Roxanne the next and K10 the least. However, I still think JH13PF is probably best fit my taste. I'll add that K10 sound signature will make for a really good stage monitor (think Westone house sound here).

What if add in MH334?
Tested the Roxanne, not happy with it sound quality i don't know if the CIEM version would be better. Treble still too much it hit my ear with certain track I have. The fitting suck. Went to test MH334, damn I fall in love with it, the fitting is so nice to wear. Went back to try again Roxanne, well better but treble still hit my ear. Now I can only hope CIEM would be better. Keep praying.
I listened to MH334 a few months ago, but not today, so I don't really have much to say about it.
Finally, heard it and like it a lot. I like the idea of adjustable bass. will be getting my impression done on Monday. hopefully everything turn out well.
