I can really recommend checking out Frederic Robinson!

Thank you kindly, and I'd say it's at the very least equal to the R8 II and WM1Z in terms of technical performance (stage, resolution, imaging, separation). It's also got a darker background in my opinion, which makes these metrics easier to pick out.
I'd love to get more feedback from others who have heard it with their own IEMs and music.
From the 2000-2005-2010 I can point out few artists I loved - Benny Page, Alix Perez, Shy Fx, Ed Rush and Optical, John B, J Magik and Wickaman, Logistics, Total Scienece, Zero T, and ofcourse always anything on the Hospital records - Nu Tone, Hight contrast, London Electricity.Yeah actually progressive house is a more appropriate tag - I’d say his biggest hit as Quivver was ‘Twist & Shout’ from the Renaissance 2 mix. My love for trance was very much early 90s and mostly acid trance… rarely listen to anything with more than 125bpm these days though
Given my dnb focus was mostly 90s, I must get you to recommend some albums from 2000 onwards. There are certainly a few in my collection, I’ve bought most from Calibre for example but sparse otherwise.

Actually I have not listened to a Chord product yet, keen on doing so though.Sorry I couldn't find your original review (I'm new around these parts), but the CMA18 has piqued my attention.
My interest comes from loving the Mojo 2 by a very, very significant margin over anything else (DAP, portable dac/amp or even desktop amp - but I am buying a Chord Alto ASAP)
I have owned or tried for IEMs. I have just gotten rid of my $3800 A&K SP3000 (which was a swap for a Cayin M9 that I really hated due to the very warm sound) - and yes I'll absolutely include that, which I thought sounded ok.
For my (rarely used) dongle, I have a Questyle M15. For me this has a lot in common with the Mojo 2, which is absolutely why I went for it... hence I am interested in at least listening to it's big brother. My current stance is that you'd have to pry my Mojo 2 out of my cold, dead hands & if it was a $3000 device, I'd absolutely have bought it.
Are you a Mojo 2 fan? How do you think it compares, putting recency bias aside (perhaps easier said than done)?
Also could you kindly link your review?
Many thanks!

The idea of not having a GUI has always put me off, dont like to dongle of my phone.
But who knows maybe ill like it.
Some of my favorite iem midrange seems to come from Planar Drivers, seems to be a consistent trend. I enjoyed the midrange of the Omnium alot, and the slam of the subbass especially.The @Craft Ears Omniums are a proper flagship. I really enjoy how much of an all-rounder they are. I love how they do treble, how solid the subbass is, and above all, and this is coming from someone who's not a mid-head, how absolutely transparent and nuanced the midrange is. I hear midrange nuances with this that I don't with more expensive IEMs and I can't help but think that it's the planar driver at play.
