I hope nobody does as a lot of internals are coming outta China. Different shells…much higher cost.
I pay top dollar cuz I can. Not because there is some imaginary secret recipe in the hands of folks outside of China

Also, the little companies outside of China charge more to control demand versus their ability to produce supply, to an extent. 7th Acoustics Supernova has a 90 day wait period and it costs $750.
If it cost $499, that wait period might double because that’s a much more attainable price point for a lot of people that would want that IEM.
Aür Audio and TGXear do the same kind of thing, because they are one-person, part-time builders and if they didn’t price their sets behind a bit of a paywall they’d do nothing but build sets in their free time because of demand

Oh trust me I know. I would buy a Thieaudio, Aful or whatever product before I buy a Noble, EE or 64 audio product (mostly because they’re priced waaaaaaaaaaay out of my range). Even stuff like Campfire Audio you get one product worth buying for every 10 overly priced badly tuned IEM.

Hey @hawaiibadboy do you also get stuff from Hi-fi Go to review?
If so could you please ask for BGVP Phantom as a review unit`?
It looks very interesting for sure and if it turns out to be good it would be a killer with that driver config for that price.
There is only one review out and I would love to read more about it.

Is this true? If so, shouldn’t it be possible to use parametric EQ to match theie200 to the ie900? Bit of a bargain if possible…
…or are there special differences in the housing that would make this only partially possible?

No, looks interesting though. Maybe I’ll buy one

The more I see on the Binary x Gizaudio Chopin, the more interested I am. I still haven’t seen a price.
I am seeing some lots of comparisons to the Truthear Nova.

TE set has less bass where it matters (for my library)
Keep eye on CHOPIN.
I’m trying not to obviously hype it… while i hype it

It looks like the Chopin has a bit more from 40-140Hz, which usually works for me too.

They posted on HeadFi that it’s thier perogitive not to disclose driver configuration nor type. So it’s FF causing the drama.

Graphic of a DD = cable sentence? Not that it matters. Maybe it’s a cable cross section.
