Received FatFreq Tour Kit from Gasdoc on Tuesday, June 6. Would have had it on the 5th but Lazy Canada Post just put a notice in my Community mailbox rather than coming to my house for a signature.
When are some of these going to make their way to the US...FF, Penon, etc...we're missing out down here
received SoundRhyme kit from @DanielListening
received RGB and Serial from @dmphile
Mentor kit off to @rantng.
Custom Art kit received from @Garney I’ve been curious to hear the FIBAE 5 for some time. The Harmony 8.2 was one of my first TOTLs and I still have the FIBAE Black & ME/6.
Mentor kit received from @marklivia
Unfortunately, the Custom Art IEMs aren't a good fit for my ears. The shells are super compact, but the angle of the nozzles aren't really compatible with my ears. I can semi-force them in, but it stretches out my ear and causes discomfort after a few minutes. Either that or the top of the IEM would stick out at an angle. I had this same issue when I owned the Harmony 8.2.

FatFreq tour kit has been shipped to @rivergound.
I think it was mentioned previously, but wow, be careful with the Mentor cable/connectors. I just placed the IEMs down on my table and the right side earphone just popped out of the connector. I'm not sure what the point is of having recessed connectors when you can't fully insert the connectors into the sockets. I don't know if this is a QC issue, but I also have a CIEM version of the Mentor waiting to be re-shelled and the connectors on those are loose as well. Has @UniqueMelody ever addressed this issue?

Not officially but it is a known issue with many Mentor owners as well as Indigo owners…seems to be a UM issue..I think it was mentioned previously, but wow, be careful with the Mentor cable/connectors.

So I should be fine as long as I don't leave the house and have full carpeting.Not officially but it is a known issue with many Mentor owners as well as Indigo owners…seems to be a UM issue..

I swapped in the Brise Yatono Ultimate 4w on my Mentor and it’s super secure

I will follow up this with our crafting team. We have reported this issue on MK2/Indigo to the socket manufacturer. If that is not improving on Mentor. We will figure out an alternative plan.I think it was mentioned previously, but wow, be careful with the Mentor cable/connectors.
