It’s all good !! Waiting does suck… But we would be in a world of hurt if we didn’t have anything to look forward to.
The waiting will give my bank account time to recover from the trauma of last month.
Long story, but property taxes suck in Omaha. We pay about 2% of the home value annually, and my home went up $60k in value since I bought it 2 years ago. That just means my hike was $1200, and I was already paying $5k. I had to pay the second half, or $3100. My taxes are more than my loan payments and homeowners insurance combined. This was on the same month our health insurance deductibles reset ( the year starts on July 1 ), my wife has issues, and her medical bills reflect that.
That’s disgusting.
Time to plug in those Explorers John
Sorry about the slow reply. I don’t do videos. I don’t actively do social media. I hear what I hear. I don’t hear what I don’t hear.
I can see the point of the video. I think there are very few people that think a cable will turn a sub-$100 into a “detail monster”. But, I like the single blind test.
Now, try the same test with the TSMR Sands with the original cable vs. the Penon Fan 1 or the Aria’s original cable.
As the test was regarding the Moondrop Aria, Moondrop has posted in the past on h**d-fi that, effectively, people would be better off buying a more expensive IEM (Blessing or Variations) then a cheap IEM (Aria) and buying an expensive after-market cable.
Good work

Very sharp strategy, Moondrop
IT’S HERE
After feedback we made the final version the perfect bling
Congratulations, man.
My only issue is that you missed a huge opportunity for preorder bonus to include meme glasses.
Ahhhhhhhhhhhh. That would have been so good🤪
Bro trust me I’d do it but we’re already running behind on schedule
Estrella and Deuce on the way, the race is on!
Just to clarify. The Aria is/was competitive in its price range. There was banter in the Moondrop thread a few years back where a poster wondered if upgrading the cable would make a significant difference with the Aria. Moondrop’s rep replied that a new cable may make a small difference but it was money better spent to put the money to be invested in a (IIRC), over $100 cable, into a higher tier IEM.
I got what you’re saying. I was making a joke that Moondrop is upselling, like a car salesman.
I got you, though!
I understand you better now. Thanks. I see your point about the upsell.
To be fair to you and my joke both, Moondrop is right about a $1000 cable. Just buy a kilobuck IEM at that point.
Estrella video is now out
Happy Estrella day
And here is the IEM size comparison site I’ve been secretly working on. Hope this can help y’all with fit issues
Nice work on the IEM size site but, quick question, how are you measuring them?
For like the DaVinci, I got 6.6mm on the nozzle lip as being the widest part so wondering how it’s put in?
But this has been something the people have been needing for a while, awesome stuff.
6.6mm? That seems very big lol I just measure the outside diameter. One point to another straight across
