I have my initial impressions on the Mest sponsor thread now.

Link? I'm curious to see what your impressions are.

Edit - nvm, I found it. Good impressions!

I had someone custom make me a silver Litz OCC cable. It's type 2. I can give u his info if you're interested. He makes them for a good price.

I see. Thanks for the info. I know of someone in my own country who can customize according to the spec you provided.

I was using the EarMen Sparrow on a balanced output.
Im aware there are better source than this but I do treasure portability.

Any Excalibur Spoiler?

I pre-ordered the Clairvoyance from headphone.com. Any estimate to possibly when they will ship? 2 weeks, 1 month, 3 months, 1 year?

Last week, I was told that they were expecting a shipment in 1-2 weeks, but I wouldn’t hold my breath.

I wonder why the Monarch is available on Linsoul’s website, but the Clairvoyance is “sold out”, yet the Clair is available on headphones.com, but the Monarch isn’t.

The Clair has been opened again for pre-order on Linsoul since Friday(9-April). I know this because I ordered. They mentioned 2 weeks build time once order is placed.

Got the Monarch. So far not sure what to make of it. Picked it for resolution, clarity - but so far it falls way behind my 64 Audio Nio, whch is also way more expansive.
Will give it some more time.

@IEMusic are you going to buy Clair or Moarch?
I'd wait some feedback about Excalibur and Oracle....

ThieAudio's been as good to me with first the L3 then the Monarch, that I'd prolly jump on the Excalibur as soon as it'll be up for the grabs.
This should male... er... make up for all of my phallic insecurities, shouldn't it? =)

Or jump on the Excalibur... And get skewered once and for all.

Nah, seriousl... I'm trying to set my mind on an "enjoy what you have, and the music" mood these days... Also, I haven't more than $1K or so to spend for good audio right now and don't know which direction I should move towards: openbacks, closedbacks, IEMs... I'd probably would have to spend that sum on each category to really up the game.
Kind of torn between being happily stuck where I am and the addiction that the expensive hobby brings. A feeling a lot of you gentlemen must have experienced at least once!

I am getting a weird urge... the Clairvoyances are available again from Linsoul...
I hope it will pass me as soon as the IER-Z1R will arrive in two days.

That just makes you an average Audiophile Addict. I have the Z1R and Monarch and have tuned the Monarchs to Clairvoyance FR curve. They are different enough to the Z1R to be very complementary.
