The PENON official thread

[caryking]

I got the Totem Ultra 4.4 male to male cable in yesterday. As with any new product, we can’t wait to listen, so, I threw the whole concept on “burn-in” out the window and started listening.

WOW!!!

Let me tell you what I’m using to listen: A&K SE300 (running NOS) > Totem Ultra > Woo Audio Topaz > Space Cable > FAN3.

The FAN3 has been my listening favorite for several weeks now. When I find something that moves me, well… I keep going and making small changes to enhance what I’m hearing. The FAN3, in this system, has a real impact on midrange realism, that I love. Vocals, from artist like Diana Krall, present themselves in a very in your face way. Big and there. Perhaps others can offer another IEM that provides this same type of presence along with added technicalities. Until then, I’m very comfortable with the sound of the FAN3.

So, what did the Totem Ultra add? Everything!! Ok, how do I add more context to everything? Everything became more visceral. Diana Krall’s voice had a texture that I can’t fully describe. Her voice became more real. Just there! Nothing in what I heard made the technicalities etched sounding; however, the layering and black space is more apparent, really apparent. Instruments floated beautifully in there space. All of this while not becoming too detailed. Too much detail takes away the flowing nature of music for me.

I bought this cable from Penon’s website and added the extra length. I would say this is the best $119 (I think that’s what I paid for it) I’ve spent. Folks, if you don’t believe in cable rolling, then, I say give it a try and see if you have doubts. For me, this change has made my full rig something I’m very proud of. I really don’t need to try another IEM, at this point, as this is a really nice sounding system that meets my musical preferences.

Wait till you try the Archangel!!!

indeed....i need to try those....was certain it would be 1.5K IEM due to Effect audio prime cable included....seem it's freakin 800$ and this is quite a big deal! ive read so much about them tx to FreeWheel well felt lovin and impression sharing...

anyway, still listening to ISN EBC80 today, so it's an IEM that will most likely follow me forever. i dont just listen to big beat but man, IAMDDB Flightmode vol4 sound so great with those, in fact any trap rap sound great due to this big vibrant rumble and mids that never get veil by it....im a beat maker too and rediscover my own track with EBC80...suddenly everything sound bigger and more accurately layered, as if my tracks go VR rendering....EBC80 is the anti boring iem, pinnacle of immersivity for me.

Glad you like it, brother! I thought you would!

Penon Impact has 4 EST and 10 BA Sonion drivers configuration which is my favourite now a days.
Its a U shaped iem and well-focused on the mid-range with lush sounding and I really enjoyed since it’s my preferred music and tuning and I had good listening session thou its builds up slight pressure in the ears.

Thanks to Sandeep Agarwal and Audio Geek "Brother_Hood of Audiophiles"

The IEM is constructed from solid rensin material , which makes it built like a bulky and the cable is bit okish and I have paired with the Toxic Eddie cable and it’s a brilliant cable.

I have paired with Cayin N7 DAP (source) with offline music and Aroma Amp.The moment when I started listening it’s like smile on the face but it’s gone when I looked up the price. lol !!! It deserves a music session with various genres and I had fun exploring with long listening session.

How does it sound ?

The Mid-range is beautifully renders rich tonality. Female vocals are brilliant and Timbre is just right and It’s a sounds more musical and focused on vocals with well balanced tone. The dynamics got much better after trying different tips. Finally I settled with spinfit ear tips which best suits me.The Bass is impactful but not huge and it’s well controlled and sometime few tracks sounds impactful!!

I liked the way the whole album back to black of Amy winehouse for female vocal.

Thanks to Penon Audio !! Keep rocking !! #Penon

Penon Rival. SP3000 (gold edition). And newly arrived Norne 18.9awg, 100% silver litz 8-wire cable and Furutech 4.4mm plug.

Norne knows what he is doing with cables. Beautifully smooth tonality, with clarity, detail and sparkle in abundance without being harsh or bright. Vocals forward.

Want a more affordable variation with a darker, copper warmth to the low mids and more ethereal presentation? 50/50 copper and silver !

Penon Rival really deserves time. Time to adjust to the tuning and dial in your preferences. Time to find the right source. The SP3000 gold edition having more warmth, a sweeter tonality than the regular editions and a cable pairing that plays to the synergy of the entire chain. Get it right and it's an amazing IEM. I suspect many of you would be happy with the 50/50 copper and silver. And best of all, it sounds better than cables multiple times the price.
