Iāll look into it, thank you
From the myriad of IEMs I heard the Yume 2ās treble is unmatched even against EST sets. The Oracle MK2 nears the Yume 2 treble signature territory but peaks a few kHz higher, so in the end not really a upgrade to this exact signature due to a higher peak of the x-th harmonics.
The Vulkan, while being a fantastic set on its own, it doesnāt match the treble of the Yume 2. So yeah, the Yume 2 is a unicorn in my view. If you can test the Vulkan before purchasing maybe it clicks with you.

The reason I would suggest Vulkan is Iāve heard both and Vulkan is the upgrade in bass and soundstage @Kamron_Howard2 wants, while staying close to the signature that Yume 2 is bringing.
At that point, theyād be compliments: Yume killing it for the treble signature, Vulkan bringing the soundstage and bass. Youād be able to have everything, and trade back and forth so you donāt end up bored with either

Not 800 hours though. They still suck at 800 hours. My manās said 1000+ hours was needed. My dude is like 6 weeks of burn-inā¦
So glad I muted him lmao

Whaaaaat theā¦ 
Ya know, Iām starting to see the positive side of Head-Fi. Between these dudes saying you need 5.4 million hours of burn-in to certain cables from Penon and ISN transforming any IEM into a $5,000 TOTL with a simple cable swap, thereās never a shortage of comedy bits happening over there.

Hmmm I might check out the Oracle MK II, Iāve always heard that the tuning is inferior to the OG so iāve stayed away from it but I like what iām seeing on the graph
Bobās spent 100x that sitting at his home laughing at gullible folk for sureā¦

Oracle Mk II also doesnāt fit in your $350 budget, and itās not readily available in classifieds. Doesnāt really move around much lol

If itās worth an upgrade iām willing to push the budget, iād rather get something thatās a direct upgrade to the yume II rather than pay $300 for something that complements it haha

I get it. But I wouldnāt try to completely replace an IEM you love. Cause either youāll fail and have an expensive set you donāt like, or youāll succeed and you wonāt use Yume II anymore.
Doesnāt feel like a win/win to me lol

Maybe I should get a dac with EQ and try that out first, I donāt think itāll affect the soundstage at all but at least I could put some actual bass in the sound. Using an apple dongle with the yume and itās like the bass is non existent lol

The Vulkan was down to $222 on 11/11. I went back & forth on it forever. The mixed reviews drove me crazy, so I didnāt pull the trigger.

He must have the notion that no one it taking him serious
A lot of reviews boiled down to ānot worth the priceā. So at $222 itās a no brainier imo
I love my IMR iems. And donāt really see the worth of screen grabbing just to ridicule someone whoās not even on this forum.
Man that thread is the funniest/saddest audio related thread in historyā¦folks getting screwed over right, left and centre while a few cult members carry on like nothingās happening telling gullible folk an IEM needs 600+ hrs of burn inā¦I reckon the only reason that threadās not been locked is that Penon peddles that blokes garbage.
But on a more serious note, informing young audiophiles to beware of such bs whatever forum they post/read is not
Itās a public service!.
