@gnahra Forgive my ignorance but what is the LX SE? Is this still the Legend X but in single-ended or another maker of a similar named iem?

Edit* i have a feeling this is a CA iem.
No, this is a Legend X SE (HK version). it has a dark silver faceplate. I've seen it also referred to a "limited edition"; apparently limited to 50 pcs (but don't quote me on that number).
Internal wiring all done with Effect Audio wires, which impacts tonality a bit.
Apparently distribution through EE's HK distributor exclusively.
Not to be confused with the gold Legend X Special Edition that was distributed in Japan...this one is internally exactly the same as the standard LX - just a gold faceplate.

1.) QDC Gemini (best TOTL allrounder, switches off)
2.) Inear Prophile 8 (best one for clarity and resolution, both switches on)
3.) Oriolus MK2 (best one for fun and live feeling)
4.) Inear Stagediver 5 (best one for soundstage [width]
5.) Thieaudio Legacy 3 (bang for the buck)

Still trying to get a grip on the

- Fearless Dawn X Crinacle
- 64 Audio U12T/U18T

:)

5) 64 Audio u12t
6) QDC Anole VX

Nice update...good to see where the VE stuff sits relative to everything else...you'll have to do another update when you get the Nio!

I'll definitely be back! Can't wait to see where the LX fits in too. I've got a hip hop playlist waiting for it patiently

Oh snap yeah that too...exciting times...looking forward to your updates!

Its not a set order (thus the not sure on order). I havent been able to get my hands on an 18s to test on my rig at home. Only out and about (canjam). Im trying to get a loaner from 64a. :thumbsup:
spoke to 64a again a few days ago about s loaner status.

most recent update is roughly 2 months till loaners start going out again.

aftet selling my A18t and spending lots of time with the erlky, I doubt I’ll buy one...but I still want to give it a listen.

I thought about joining the VE tour which i believe has the Erlkonig but not the greatest timing for me. Pretty much same thing i heard from 64a. What grabbed you over the 18t?

the erlky is on a completely different level in every conceivable way :upside_down:

i've been super lazy since the acquisition, and haven't written up a full review for the erlky, as I did for the a18t, but happy to chat further if you want.

feel free to hit me up on pm...
