I went to the booth of FatFreq and found Maestro mini has V2 coming with even bigger boost on both ends
Soc is a bright leaning copper, so it kind of depends. If anything the 8 might lean into it a bit to do what it does.That's the 2nd or 3rd report suggesting they "repaired" the lean mids of the OG which was the part I disliked (assuming fuller mids would automatically tone down the otherwise bright treble, that is). Is the price tag for this cable already public?

Chatting with Eric on WA, the one at SoCal is the final production wire that they've settled on. The SG one is probably the same prototype we Canuck bois have on hand. Enough for me to ask Eric to put me on the list behind you and @KiatsI heard the Socrates8 prototype during CJ SG, and felt it had fantastic synergy with EXT. Proj P+S is my current preferred pairing with EXT
realized I was never going to catch up at the rate I was going.
The price has not yet been announced. ETA is an October release, Eric mentioned this prototype is the final tuning but not the final design.That's the 2nd or 3rd report suggesting they "repaired" the lean mids of the OG which was the part I disliked (assuming fuller mids would automatically tone down the otherwise bright treble, that is).

I think similar projects like the 8-wire Plato x Socrates were around $1,500 or so. Socrates being a little cheaper than Plato would take a virtual Socrates x Socrates below $1,300 I would hope.The price has not yet been announced.

Interesting, are you able to elaborate on who the 'trusted' retailers might be?Oh, to add some context to a few things in the uploaded pics that might not be super clear: Justin's holding a vintage tube tester. Said in his presentation that if any of us are buying tubes for tube rolling from anywhere except a few trusted retailers (think Ebay), you're getting screwed, lol. A tester is the only way to well, test what you're buying.
It was V shaped good soundstage I think it fits with the 3k range iems... I didn't spend a lot of time with it because I was looking for a complementary iem for my jewel.Just wondering if anyone had tried the gt600 from jomo and compared it with other totals ( Viking Ragnar, mentor, even traillii )
I praised the GT600 before but the Viking Ragnar is in another league. No competition. For the Viking Ragnar, it is competing against Jewel and Traillii. GT600 is just a mid-tier flagship.I see, so does it mean it might somehow be similar to traillii? I have a traillii and FS, basically looking for dd hybrid totals , right now I am looking at Viking Ragnar, and gt600 but don't know if I should wait for the odyssey
I heard it at CanJam Socal. After one track, it was obvious that it wasn't at the same level as Ragnar and so I put it down. I didn't really get any impressions other than it is wasn't at the same level as Ragnar.Just wondering if anyone had tried the gt600 from jomo and compared it with other totals ( Viking Ragnar, mentor, even traillii )
GT600 was the 'star of the show' at CanJam London. How quickly things change.I heard it at CanJam Socal. After one track, it was obvious that it wasn't at the same level as Ragnar and so I put it down. I didn't really get any impressions other than it is wasn't at the same level as Ragnar.
The Ragnar is sublime.I heard it at CanJam Socal. After one track, it was obvious that it wasn't at the same level as Ragnar and so I put it down. I didn't really get any impressions other than it is wasn't at the same level as Ragnar.

I haven't tested any of the tubes I've purchased, all the ones I've received sound fine to my ears with one exception. And in that case, Billington Export replaced it at their expense no questions asked.
