Got message and replied

Thanks for the shout out!

I would add that the Mele sounds like it could be many people’s preferences. If anyone wonders why I preferred the Aria, it’s more because of my tastes than it has to do with how much I think others will like one or the other.

I think many people would prefer the Mele. They’re just different but both very good at what they do

Your demo had value.
It had impact.
I was noting that the daily avg was bumped up the after that demo.
I get trust from folks that don’t share my library because they are focused on a bass guitar not a genre
Your sound demos get mocked by some as having no value in conveying an accurte depiction due to links in chain between item “A” and their ears.
THATS NOT THE POINT OF THE DEMO

It, with a graph gives a good depiction of how item “A” relates to item “B”
If anyone were asked which one sounds more bassy “A” or “B”
Most will pick it out easy
If anyone were asked which one sounds more shouty “A” or “B”
They will get it
Tizzy cymbals?
Bloated bass?
Scooped mids?
and on and on

I’m hoping you keep growing and growing.
XENNS UP sounded very nice BTW

10k units is NICE. Pretty good line of work if you can get it.

I’d be interested to see how many units crinacle moves at his price point.

Dan’s reviews are really useful for the sound demos, even if I don’t always agree with Dan’s conclusions. I just let my ears be the judge when I watch his videos, and I do think the Meles have consistently been strong performers in those comparison demos.

I bought my Xenns Ups basically because of your recs and Dan’s demos, where I thought the Ups slaughtered everything besides the Mests.

Christmas came early

edit: okay, tiny review time. i must be spoiled by the fact that i now own some gear tuned for my liking; that being the beyerdynamic tygr 300r and now meles. as whack as this will sound, it’s almost as if this tuning itself has an open-back form, and an iem form.

if i had to put it to words, it’s like having a medium-rare steak, but one of them was seasoned with salt & pepper, while the other one had garlic and butter. i enjoy the tuning no matter if it’s in open back/iem : i enjoy steak no matter if it’s cooked with S&P or garlic & butter is what i’m trying to say.
