A gold and diamond encrusted Camelot anyone?!

I'm guessing that was posted yesterday...?

Honestly these are more show pieces, and I'd be inclined to consider if they sold it as such without the components inside.

I'm not buying it to listen to music to be honest.

QDC did this but actually made it...(was it QDC? can't remember, jewel encrusted VX?)

In saying that, still on their Facebook without any ‘April fools’ comment… perhaps it’s true!

Oh really? Better go put Storm up for sale to help fund these then....

Compared to u12t, I can sense a bigger soundstage, much higher bass resolution, much more bass quantity, and slower decay on the bass (due to DD), and overall more musicality.

Compared to Rn6, I think the Volur has lesser bass physicality but I do prefer the bass in all other terms on the Volur. Volur has a more wholesome, enveloping (I felt Rn6's was unidirectional), and higher bass resolution, quality and quantity. Also, I much prefer the Volur's tuning as everything sounds right to me. I wasn't a fan of the Rn6's sweet treble tuning. The resolution on both I feel is comparable.

How about treble quality between the 3? I didn't have a good cable and possibly because of that thought it missed both resolution and quality of tone. I'm loving the rest.

Yep. QDC and Noble.

The best ones are the ones that are perfectly plausible and reasonable.

I love Beat, bought the reissue on vinyl when it came out a few years ago.

RS8 is excellent with techno, electro, IDM etc - it must be the combination of R2R and class A amplification that provides an analogue sensation, yet still snappy and detailed… the more hours I spend with RS8, the more I love it with any IEM and any genre. I was a bit concerned buying RS8 that I might find it too smooth coming from the likes of LPGT Ti but definitely not, I’m incredibly impressed by the balance it strikes.

“Fear of Flying” and “Without Stopping” have been studio test tracks for about 20 years over here and the vinyl reissue was done very well. I’m a big fan. Have you heard the R8II or N30LE in comparison to the RS8? Obviously, the N30LE is not a fair comparison in terms of output power and tube tone shaping possibilities, but with respect to solid state output, I’m curious about how the tonality compares? I had the N30LE, loved it, but I have a price to performance ideology (it’s my problem) and $5000 for a DAP, as awesome as it is, is not something I could live with for long. Again, my psychology… don’t expect anyone else to relate.

VISION EARS VE10 – Which together with CP622b was another almost blind buy.
Too much focus on the low end while bass needs better resolution (both due to the stock cable I found out – bad pairing really), needs more sparkle as it sounded too closed in though very pleasant, needs more bite, attack, and openness, overall a lovely balance and I wonder what a Chiron / DX320 would bring.
Courtesy of @Vision Ears who helped us out with sending in VE10 days before the event - very much appreciated!!!

Alright, perhaps that's the reason they obviously selling in china a VE 10 bundle including a Han Sound Luna silver cable.

Totally makes sense to me. I'd love to demo it again but would want to bring a good silver cable and a clean sounding DAP with great definition, dynamics, and imaging. Could work wonders.
