Seems cool
I got a pair of 1+2's and I really like it.

I have been very fortunate to have met up with Gavin today and tried out the Plus5. The source used was Gavin's AK380cu+cu amp and my own AK380cu. I personally found these to be the best sounding iems I have heard so far even when compared to the Laylas which I also auditioned at the same time. The bass of the Plus5 definitely had more impact and I never imagined that ba's were capable of reproducing this type of deep, powerful bass that I had only heard on iems which had dynamic drivers like the Ref1 or the 1plus2. Another thing about the Plus5 was that they sounded cleaner, more revealing and had better separation between the instruments and vocals. Yet everything sounded very cohesive...very real. Being a metalhead and a guitar player myself, the majority of music I listen to is guitar based. Therefore being able to hear the nuances of the guitar being played in its various stages of distortion sounding so lifelike was a definite plus for me.
I guess the only negative that I can think of right now is that my wallet hates me even more now...

As a matter of update, I understand that the new stock cable will be made out of 7n occ copper. This will be interesting as I beleive this will be first time that Tralucent will have a copper cable. Gavin's very pleased with it. And I am, of course, dying to hear it for myself. Warrior1975, you are not alone in patiently, or impatiently as the case may be, waiting for goodies from Gavin.

Sorry bro, I guess we suffer together... But my wait is shorter, but you already have the Ref 1 Too... So you are better off... For now.

Thank you Kiats, maybe Plus5 is the best earphone to match Tera's output impedance without any bass rolloff.
Waiting for more people with a Tera Player to tell me what they think

No worries. Well, I hope to get mine soon. Will offer thoughts to be aggregated with other views.
