Americanspirit, what I want to know is will this be redundant if I have both the Neon Pro and the SR8?

Nah, we tuned it with different philosophy, it won’t be redundant👌

Can you say how the tuning is different?

AmericanSpirit, would you be willing to start your own “discoveries” thread here?

Since I’m waiting on the final sample as well, I can’t speak of pure FR that I requested, but as far as tuning, driver synergies / implementation, Butasutr will have more details and transparency on upper registers than said two IEMs (NP and SR8), and the core target to par I aimed is qdc’s Anole VX.
For lower energies NP and SR8 is on upper hand.
micro/macro
Butastur: 60/40
Anole VX : 58/42
NP : 55/45
SR8: 45/55

Out of curiosity, what would it cost to sponsor a project like this?
Seems like there are many people discontented with Penon so was wondering if everyone funded this project via a pre-order, could we essentially skip Penon’s involvement (and potentially bringing the cost down even further to reach a wider audience)?

Will it have good, solid low end? I can’t handle IEMs with wimpy bass…
Bro, either just buy the thing, or wait for reviews. He said that he cant talk too much about it yet.

I think the operative word is “Yet”. He can’t talk too much about them… yet. I Have to say, I am impressed with the amount of chatter this project has generated. @AmericanSpirit_JP I wish you the very best, Sir. I hope this turns out to be a smashing success!

Butastur final version arrived.
Yes. Yes….Yes.
Finally.
My dream come true.
Trough Butastur, I can see myself flying the sky of music with two wingmans, qdc Anole VX and AuR Neon Pro.
Butastur project final approval is granted✔️

As Butastur is a small hawk, you can’t imagine how well packed 10BAs into this small body, here is the size comparison.
Also the close shot of stock cable.

It will need a global distribution logistics and payment gateway with full time supporting staff, so it will cost some investment those business platform.
Maybe Drop.com would be another option but obviously they are not international shipping experts and EU folks may not get goods delivered to them.
Lastly there will be kickstarter or similar cloud funding services, but I’m not familiar with their logistics solutions so this time I asked established distributors for the sponsorship.

I hope Penon does one of their discount promotions for these when they go on sale there.

It has Air Pressure Balance vent😎
Taking Sonion AcuPass to its max performance.
This is added to the final draft and I’m simply astonished of APB vent performance combined with Bass-vent directly connected to AcuPass😁
Man, Jinny is a genius.
