Just wanted to share a few sneak peeks from my upcoming mega-review. It will be everything that I've tried this year - the culmination of which led me to my current setup. Exciting to shoot some gear again, and extra excited to share my impressions along the way :)

Meanwhile for myself... Jewel incoming.
Exciting. Would love to hear it if and when you get a chance. :) I'm looking for a used pair of UM Indigos. Think it might be up my alley from Solaris.

Epic, congrats!...have your heard it or is this a blind buy?
Tried it at canjam with a bad source and noisy show floor. Wasn't impressed at that time but I think it deserves a second chance. I bought tgx's cuz it was too good of a deal and we get to keep it in Canada so my Toronto buddies can hear it. I don't think I can lose money on the jewel in this current state of the hobby, fingers crossed :p

So you were the one that bought it!

Would have grabbed it at that priced if I didn't get the Horus

Congrats! The Aeneid is a gorgeous cable, both in terms of aesthetics and sound quality. :)

So that's who made the CAM ad disappear so quickly. :wink:

I don't have that kind of garden and that fancy cable, but I still own a Bird and love to go for walks too. Here are some fresh photos from yesterday.
Great shots! I think I saw a few of your nature pics on IG before
Is that from your Leica?
Yes. These are from the macro settings on my Leica Q2. I like the colours from it! Here is another angle:

I generally dont browse the classifieds. Got lucky with this one. @Bosk joked about his morning routine (i.e. shower, coffee, checking Watercooler / classifieds) and stumbled onto this.

Stoked to hear it! So far after 5 days, I like how the Ode to Laura pairs with the XE6. OTL is a side grade to me for the Traillii. Stock = Relaxed, smooth. The OTL, while still being rich in timbre leans more ethereal and analytical compared to stock.

Not sure if I should be apologising or deserve congratulations for that... probably depends on how much you enjoy the Aeneid. :ksc75smile:

Looking forward to hearing your impressions when it arrives!

I already have the WF1000 XM3 here but decided to get the XM4
Mostly I'm late to the party
Now let's see what these will whisper in my ears ... 🤔

I use these for phone calls. Great noise cancellation and ambient sound.

What eartips are you using on them? They look different from the ones they came with mine and since it's time to replace them I wonder what I should be looking for. I'm only using them in noisy environments like long bus and plane rides so I would need pretty decent foamies I guess. Perhaps @gLer knows?
