This is great - thank you!
I finally heard a single DD that beats the Twilights: the Dita Perpetua. Granted it retails for $2200 of something like that, but I have been offered a trade for my Burson Timekeeper 3i for the Perpetuas and a Hiby RS6 and I took it. They aren’t as much of an all-rounder as the Twilights, but they make love music, classic rock, jazz, and vocals sound as good as I have ever heard and their technical prowess is several levels above the Twilights as well. I’m super stoked that I got them in a trade because I never would’ve been able to convince myself to buy a single DD for that much. All of that said, they’re only a 10% to maybe 15% improvement over the Twilights (probably closer to 10) so if I was advising someone as to whether the jump is worth it I would say no unless a deal like this one presented itself. They’re also coming with some super expensive unicorn hair and pixie dusted Effect Audio cable supposedly worth $1k () but regardless of my thoughts on price it looks gorgeous. I’ll give you guys impressions and a Twilight comparison once I’ve had time with them. I’ll be picking them up tomorrow since the guy I’m trading is in my circle of audiophile enthusiasts.
Fantastic, I just got some micropore tape on prime day, and have some extra filters lying around too.
I never would have thought the Perpetua would over throw the Twilights. I’ve heard so much of the twilights and their popularity but I haven’t heard much on the Perpetuas, that’s interesting.
I appreciate your feedback, J that’s interesting stuff!
There was a MusicTeck warehouse clearance a few months ago and the Dita Perpetua was priced at $1300 if I remember correctly.
For the price - $1300 - I think it’s a good deal, especially since it upgrades Twilight by about 10%, but $2999 - definitely not!
BTW I don’t like the design, especially for the price point …
Hey guys, so, I woke up to Elysian using my video without contacting or asking… but that aside how shameless can you get Yes, it looks stunning, but how about we address the elephant in the room LEE? Fix your godam quality control and customer service.
As some of you may know my Diva had a pretty bad imbalance, so I sold my unit with the imbalance to a friend at a discount (since it still had warranty) - she sent it to repair, tracking says its stuck in malaysia needing address confirmation, lee response saying he’ll check it, and then never checked it conveniently to delay it past the warranty date (this took 2+ months btw), and then now it got sent back because no one picked it up
so ya please AVOID these mofos
TOTL Price = TOTL service right?
(is this even legal though?)
Lol not sure - I’m just gonna make it private these guys
If nothing else, it strikes me as rude to use it for promotional purposes without asking your permission first…
That or delete it, as I see it not talking about them is better than giving them free exposure.
The AUDACITY! Lee has a lot of balls for allowing his marketing team to do this. That’s insane…
Edit; I couldn’t help my self, I commented on the post
Hey all, I’m getting back into the game of writing my thoughts down on some IEMs I’ve been blessed to try out and I’ve been having a lot of fun doing so. For you’re viewing pleasure. Plus, @GooberBM 's thread is a fountain of great reading if y’all haven’t checked it out yet!
Can you just update the video on youtube? If so I would do that and talk mad trash about it so they continue linking it and market a negative review of their IEM?
got a link to it?
I don’t think that I would go this route; Jay already aired his grievances on his channel, and mudslinging by substitution, while funny, is immature. Simply denying them the free advertisement is the best route, IMO.
Looks like Jay may have taken it down, per @Rikudou_Goku suggestion and I think that’s the best move. But if you want to see the post on Facebook, I didn’t say anything crazy lol
The experience that Jay had with them totally ruined my entire outlook on the brand so I had to stand up for my boy on this one.
I get your point however I disagree because 1) Taking it down forces Jay to remove a video he worked hard on because some company tried to commandeer it as advertising, thats not fair to Jay and does nothing to hurt Elysian as they can just link another video. 2) I believe Elysian should be reprimanded in some manner for pulling that stunt and just pulling the video does not deter this kind of behavior. While immature, I think any action that doesn’t negatively impact Elysian in this case is too little.
EDIT: I agree that the “talking mad trash” part would be immature and that was more hyperbole than anything. Even replacing the video with his other (more negative) video would have done far more to teach Elysian a lesson than him taking his video down
Thanks for dropping some comments guys hahaha - I think the best route is to private the video because they’re not going to take it down if I ask them (probably will ignore me anyways). Regarding the trash talking aspect I agree to some degree maybe I was too charged up, but I believe letting people know how scummy these guys are will help others avoid potential horrible experiences like I did. Anyhow, back to our regular scheduling
I had to leave something because it’s one thing for fans to keep enjoying their products etc
They can use videos from genuinely happy customers to promote, I believe the majority are.
But when they use the video of someone they’ve treated extremely poorly, that crossed a line for me.
