At this time the Subtonic Storm is vaporware

Vaporware...I gotta remember that term.

Vaporware...I gotta remember that term.

It's a high tech term. Almost everything at first release is vaporware.

I see it as a beta testing product that never goes to full release. There’s plenty of products that never make it past R&D but when it’s being publicly paraded while still in beta…

Storm production has been delayed due to the shells not meeting their QC standards. To my understanding they’re waiting for another production batch and if all goes well the first units should be heading out. I’m hoping to have mine sometime in October but I’m not holding my breath.

On topic of re-shelling, and considering Itsfit has been highly praised. While I don't have any experience with it, wondering if anybody had their hybrid iems re-shelled, not just multi-BAs? When you are dealing with BAs only, it's mostly a matter of a careful cut'n'paste. When you add DD into the equation and have to take into the account acoustic chamber design, it's not that easy to retain the same sound.

I think @MatW is in the process of having an Odin re-shelled so there should be an answer to this soon.

They did an N8 for me, which worked out well. And yes, the Odin should be ready soon.

Hi all!!

I've been lurking around for some time but I guess i'm more of the shy type. Lately I've been very curious about the upcoming Subtonic Storm, anxiously waiting for its release and obvious reviews. Looking at them as that potential end game and be over. That being said, there is not that much info out there except from some impressions from those that were lucky enough to try them briefly.
Yesterday i stumbled across this and thought i would share as i see there is quite some curiosity (and well warranted!) about them.

Allot of talk but not available. I would be wary till many non-reviewers actually get to live with it and some people you might know. It might be great, but we do not know yet.

Yes I have Thummim, needs power to sound its best. Not too many of us still have this set.
If you want more impressions PM me.

I like the way the bass sounds with acoustic bass better than any other I tried.
XE6 is close.

For me Thummim is a specialist trio Jazz only.

I love the way the design pushes so far away from the standard form factor.

Cool thanks! I think they might be too warm for me (from Twister6's description), but they seem to be something special alright!

Trying to decide between a store demo SP1K SS or a second hand SP2K SS and had a question for SP2K owners: how much more (or less) are you getting from the specified battery life with your listening volume and quality?

Clearly for iems, it's rare that you would be at 80 klicks and I don't listen to over 320 kbps MP3s anyways, so I stand to gain.

Is the Astell & Kern CD Ripper Mk2 a good way, and easy way to get CD’s onto an AK Dap? I’m sure I recall that there were issues with the original Mk1 that meant it wasn’t the best thing to use, but I wonder if the Mk2 has fixed this?

This time tomorrow I'll be on an airplane for the first time since 2019...so excited! Probably won't sleep much tonight lol
