What's coming from Oriolus?

On another note, regarding Oriolus, they knew what they were doing (obviously) in matching the PW No.5 with the Reborn. I dug out my 8-wire with it, and the bird can sing!
That's what I've got attached to my Crassi atm. Similar DNA. Good pairing.

Started breaking in Isa with Satin Audio Athena yesterday. A few hours ago I tried them and they were singing very nicely. I then went to Musicteck's website and the Satin Athenas were gone. There goes a great not too expensive IEM. Eletech Iliad arrives tomorrow

I ordered Iliad for my Isa as well! I’ll be curious to hear what you think of the pairing. I’ll feature my findings in my upcoming Isa review.

Listening to Dylan’s “Blonde on Blonde” now streaming from my iPad to the N3pro, with the Reborn in 96/24, about to shed a tear, this is beautiful.

aaf evo,
There were two recommendations from two members I respect. Iliad and Satin Athena. The Athena is cooking with Isa at the moment and next week I will break in Iliad. Having tried Athena and Isa a few minutes ago, I am thinking that it has a good chance to be Isa's every day cable. Best I have heard Isa sing since I bought her. Previous cable was PW Audio 1950s Monile.
I am also enjoying ThieAudio Monarch connected to PW Audio 1950s Century cable. At the moment , my best combo. Just unreal. It must be how the big Bird sounds!

Illiad for Isa? Must be quite an impressive IEM to get that sort of cable for it 👀
The Isa, and Reborn are incredible, surprisingly (or not so much so for Bird aficionados) the Isabelle scales incredibly well, with cabling and amping.

I'm guessing your spiraling out of control would seem like absolutely nothing compared to here in the states. And nobody seems to care... We are back in the office, schools are all in person, some states are operating completely like nothing is even happening. Oh well.
Yeah, Australia is like on the opposite end of the spectrum lol. Just a handful of cases and we go into lockdown.

So are the other Oriolus IEMs as “emotionally engaging” like Traillii for those who have heard them ?
Out of the three ive tried, I can say a resounding yes!

There was chat over in the Oriolus thread that it’ll be a 10 driver update to the Mellianus (sp?)

"The Anus" has been on my short list of IEMs to snap up if one ever appears on the used market (they never do). I've been curious about it ever since @twister6 reviewed it a few years ago.

In the market for a used “Anus”? :upside_down:
