Regarding the price:

The price points of the the 3 products recently launched are in line with their counterparts.

The Jade is priced a little lower than the Tux 5, the Kadence is priced in the same zone as my previous 8 driver and the Kublai Khan is essentially the same price as the Ghengis Khan. We didn't want to make products obsolete, the goal was to have a wider selection of products within the same general price points.
Will there be a US tour for the Noble KUBLAI KHAN?

Or Canadian :D. I'm sure our gang would love to hear that.

In other news my VE cable was returned to me in PW Audio box...not sure if this means EXT's stock cable is a PW Audio but I've wondered.

I haven't been to Singapore in a long while. I think if I went there today, I wouldn't make it out of Changi airport. I'd spend all my money before I got through immigration and customs and would have to go home.
Haha! The Changi airport rabbit hole! It is a city within a city!!

I can't emphasize the last point enough. No amount of listening to others, no matter how articulate they are, will substitute for actually hearing stuff for yourself and determining what your own priorities are.
Agreed. Unfortunately this is not possible (yet) in Vietnam. I am just glad that we have Watercooler impressions/reviews (which is the next best thing) which gave me enough confidence to blind buy the Dorado 2020. As I said, the price was just just too good to pass up on a blind buy!

Could be a scene from the Vietnam countryside but that Wat in the distance leads me to guess that it is Thailand?

Hmm I thought the EXT/Phonix stock cables were from HanSound. Maybe they are asking PWA to manufacture their new exchange cables.

You could be right…it probably just happened to be shipped back to me in a PW Audio box.

BC driver is the same one used in EE EVO and UM MEXT.
Whaaat? Where's the UM lawsuit? 🤭
I can let you know that BL-03 plus prototype 38 is quite a musical and enjoyable experience 👍
It is indeed. Worth every bit the $200+ SQ that combo would retail for, and tuned as well or better than many kilobucks I've heard.

EE and UM mext and Mest bone drivers are not even the same size and have different builds. Only the UM FS has a similar build description to the EXT bone driver and similar range. Even if both built by the same manufacturer I doubt they’re exactly the same.
