Final sample is on my way, package finished.
Simple, no extra decorations.

NA2 (non plus) is my favorite gym/commuting set. Engaging sound and bass is very satisfying. The only caveat is treble instruments being soft. No other IEM I own beats it for pop/electronic

Hello all together,
another new lurker here who could be set onto the list of future customers for your project AmericanSpirit…

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?

That already exists.

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.

Sorry, didn’t know we weren’t supposed to discuss the IEM this thread is named after…

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.
