Musiktek is all good if you live in the US but if you're in Europe/UK or elsewhere, then what?

I'm not even sure Hifi-Go has really any right now as they haven't shipped mine yet nearly a week after purchase.

Living in the UK, MusicTeck is still my most trusted seller of 'boutique' IEM products. The standard of service is second to none, to the point where, even if there were sources of these products in the UK I would still probably give my business to them. It would be nice to have more options in this country, however.

I get that MusikTek is a great dealer but it's still thousands of miles away for dealing with eventual returns and all the shipping insurance and tax issues that go with it.

We also ship to Europe via DHL Express :)

I see now that Audio Essence in Switzerland is an official Oriolus dealer and has the Isabellae as well as the Traillii JP, Reborn LTD and Percivali JP. Last time I checked the Oriolus site, it either wasn't listed yet or I missed it. Hopefully the HifiGo order will go smoothly.

My Isabellae came from @MusicTeck to Spain in only 5 days via DHL.

Always keeping my eye out for any new single DD IEMs that come out. Any word on what the driver is made of? Or when we can see what the frequency response looks like?

Does anybody has experience with the Isa and the C9?

Is it a good pairing?

I prefer to listen to Isa from the C9 (Tube, AB) from the LO mode from the Shanling M8 than the Shanling M8 alone. There's a tighter dynamic response and the stage becomes slightly more spherical and enlarged. The upper mids become slightly smoother aswell in tube mode. Whether it is a 'good' pairing for you will depend on choices of source you have and what you want from the Isa. For me, it's a good pairing! :)

Edit: Haven't listened to Isa for over a week as my ears have been occupied by the GK10. Isa is so seductive, it gives you all the detail, with a flare of warmth and a touch of air. Unbeatable timbre too. I really don't see how Isa could be beat with its representation of string instruments.
