Oriolus Traillii Electrostatic Hybrid IEM discussion thread

Errrr, I think I’m going to pull the trigger on a custom designed universal Traillii.

I really want to match it to the Orpheus, cheesy, I know.

I was thinking S-4 for the faceplate and possibly either just clear shell or maybe C-10 for the shell, but do I want to hide the gorgeous internals?

You are nuts. You want to spend $5000+ to get a $3 face plate?

To match my $5000 cable, yes.
It would be cheaper to do some paint matching at Benjamin Moore and dip your Orpheus into it.

Some painters tape and a spay can.
If careful dipping does not work.
Here is another thought, fingernail polish may work.

There are some pretty darn good finger nail polish artists in Orange County, CA from Vietnam. I would just fly to California for Can Jam and have one of them paint the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel onto your Traillii.

Dude, don’t forget you’re in the Traillii thread. This ain’t no mid-fi MEST thread or somethin’ 😎

Are you suggesting there is a thin line between cuckoo's nest and "birdhouse" :D

Everyone who posts regularly to this thread is certifiably insane. We buy 3 amp modules for a DAP when 1 will do. We buy $5000 cables and pair them with $35 IEMs. We order a $5000 IEM and while we are waiting for it, we buy and sell 3-5 other IEMs. We are crazy to about 4 or 5 standard deviations from the mean. What differentiates the posters here more than anything is their creativity in justifying their ludicrous expenditures.

The only smart person here is @twister6. He gets manufactures to give him free stuff so he can create new categories of the greatest thing he's ever heard so that he can make them all feel that they are special so that all of us feel the need to buy one. He's the bartender at our alcoholics anonymous meeting

I like a good drink or ten when I go out with friends. 🥳

The funny thing is that I get messages from people complaining why I never say in my reviews "this is the best thing ever" or why I don't rank or rate. And some even get angry with a neutral review style. Go figure, I guess some prefer to read the hype from influencers rather than neutral reviewers. I prefer to describe what and how I hear it, while you guys/gals have to figure out if it's the right one for you and your pocket :)
