Yep - it was on Meze’s site. Stirred up a fair bit of fomo in me, but I wasn’t really in a position to be a bad boy…

Jason, that price is not coming back anytime soon…seems the Advar is slowly picking up momentum around the community

I love my Empyreans and took a chance on the Advars simply because of that…700 for a single DD seemed kinda steep to me but I am impressed by not only the musicality of it…but it’s build quality as well…my friend said it reminds him of a Bentley

Yep, but also sold out…

All Sonion including 2 new Sonion Bone conduction drivers and a custom tuned low end BA not released yet as this company gets first dibs if I am reading stuff correct?

That BC has been used in some other iems like the BGVP DMA.

But that looks like a new (assumed) woofer I have not seen before.

BGVP died for me years ago. Hyped 2 sets and the QC was crazy bad and their reaction was basically “not our problem”
They are an example of doing everything right besides QC/QA and how that turns a company into an afterthought.

That’s a bummer to hear that. The NS10 looked super interesting for the price

I’ve seen multiple issues with the same set by them (DM8) which otherwise has a unique tuning and looks beautiful.

Like fit can ruin a good sounding IEM, bade QC/CS can ruin an IEM company in spite of merits.

Started with DM6 which was a Campfire audio Andromeda clone (5BA) and sometimes perfect cloning…buncha sites sold during 11//11 and all kinds of chaos ensued and the DM with em was enlightening.
if KZ = Lunatic
BGVP = Assholes

That was the first intro into the short money hustle part of this hobby.
They make some gorgeous stuff and if they thought about the long term 6 years ago they’d be huge by now

How was Yanyin to deal with?

Fine. Joe Bloggs is there now.
Before him stuff ran really smooth.
I can’t say about after.

That early peak is exactly what would screw up consonants for me, especially without other peaks to soften it.

For $1400, you can’t blind buy it. But I’m willing to give it a try.

I can’t be the “graphs are only part of the story” guy and then run away from a scary graph.

I’ll run away from the price tag, instead lol
