I'd also like to thank everyone for their support on my previous post, sometimes we're in the lab at some stupid hour in the dead of night wondering if anyone really cares that we are going the extra mile. So it really is quite heartening to see that others share our vision and appreciate the work we do and the effort we pour in.
I'll also respond to some queries that were kindly brought to my attention by various community members. With regards to the STORM tour unit, for now production capacity forecasts are lower than we expected, even with some production optimisations we've managed, the current projection is peak production of 10 units a month, with that in mind our priority will be getting units to clients, so it may be awhile before we have spare capacity to dedicate units for tours.
We are planning to start tours for Singularity, our refreshed cable line-up and Crimson between January and February though. More updates on that soon.
If I remember correctly I think
@HiFiHawaii808 and
@metaljem77 asked about the differences between the Mira and Mira mk2. For the mk2, some improvements have been made to the SPC used in the shield as well as the PVC used for the insulation. Sound wise, they are largely the same tonally, with some refinements to treble and slight improvement to technical performance relative to the original Mira.
There were also some questions about our new cables and the line-up refresh. The cables are ready and we are mainly waiting on the next batch of packaging. Once everything is ready we will also be starting the Mira trade in programme launch edition STORM owners who wish to upgrade to our new flagships, the Sovereign and Sovereign Symphony, or update to the Mira mk2. We will have information about the full line-up up on our website soon. In the mean time if anyone has any questions please feel free to email or DM me.
As for this we kind of went in the opposite direction of our original line up as a lot of the feedback was that our cables were too bulky, the 2w Vanguard was designed to be low profile to the point where a user can forget that they're wearing it, similar to what Estron used to offer, just not to the same extreme, and with a greater emphasis on better handling while coiling the cable and better sound quality. The overall concept for Singularity was to have a compact shell and cable for ultimate comfort. For Singularity's shell as well, after gathering feedback it seemed a smaller shell would be more ideal for fitting into more ears, as Helios turned out to be too big for many. But as it turns out we underestimated how big some western ears do get and the small shell if Singularity, while perfect for some, also seems to be an issue for other. In most cases this can be solved with using a longer and larger tip like the Spinfit W1 or Azla Sednafit regular, but it seems there are still instances where some discomfort is still experienced. This is something we are definitely taking into account for future designs. As for the Vanguard 2w stock cable on Singularity, I can assure you that despite it's low profile, the cable can withstand a large amount of both tensile and shear forces. It would be pretty hard to break unless you take a blade to it.
and Anni is nicer to look at
