Headphoneus Supremus
Still I prefer some companies offer the choice of no cable as many have plenty of those anyway or want a better one.Jewell was overpriced for what it sounded like to me, and the cable at that price, non starter.
UM Masons are definitely overpriced for what they sound like, and releases so frequent that just change the color claim a new generation driver and still sound similar to the last iteration (released too recently). I am all for pushing releases to higher levels of performance just make the leap in more significantly audible steps to justify another huge spend from your customers that are not all millionaires.
Juxtapose against Oriolus who gets pegged with breaching 6K with a set that sounded very nice and was supplied with a cable that did not detract, (worth the price hard to say that even now), than to follow that up with Isabellae and then Szalayi both reasonably priced and great value, and at least for now Oriolus appears to be easier to admire.
