That’s good to hear bc I am seriously considering the R8ii and I like the pairing of the 1AM2 with the mentor a lot and feel it could a slight bit more crispier with the mentor. I extremely dislike the RS6 with the mentor. I feel it sounds stuffy with very little detail, so if the R8ii sounds like the 1AM2 like u say I’m on board. Especially that blue color would be great aesthetically with my mentor.

I do not think you will be disappointed.

R8 II way freaking cheaper over 1zm2. XD

No doubt. But the WM1ZM2 just looks to damn goood. And can be melted into a gold bar. R8 can do that

Given the strength of the USD v JPY, it's not that much difference in price.

Nice tesseract! I listen to metal and prog metal 95% of the time.

What centurion does to subass is magic. The way it interacts with the CDM tube amp as well, just wow. Find myself listening to music I don't even like just to hear it. Crazy a cable swap could make this much difference and can't believe Aroma handicapped Jewel so much with the stock cable. I am mesmerized with this chain: Pi2aes --> Hugo2 --> CDM --> Centurion --> Jewel. Also adds a lot of body to the mid bass, PHat bass lines.

I encourage anyone with bass dominant iems to listen to this perfect piece of Mongolian metal

If you like bass in metal checkout the stoner, doom a sludge metal genres for downtuned guitars.

My mom had a solid 2 years of listening to them everyday during Covid, the chants coming from the living room TV..Though this is legit the first time I heard them speak English lol.

Good stuff though:

Nice catch, it took me a while to realize what's missing in subass.

Conventional wisdom is out the window with Quattro!! I've put a cable on it that costs 2x the IEM!! Insanity occurring here!

Quattro insanity continued

I am still trying to figure out what's the real appeal of Quattro, in the beginning I thought it is the timbre. But again, when I did any critical analysis, it was hard for me to find anything that Quattro excels, so I am really wondering what is so mesmerizing about Quattro.

Lol I’ve had the Quattro in my possession for about 2 hours. I’m just having some fun with it. Will follow up hah.

For me, Quattro is not for critical listening, as it fails to deliver a lot of things. It's more of a mood-basis iem, if you are in a good mood (in the zone) it really hits you hard; otherwise, on some occasions, I just want to grab anything but these.
