Welcome to hfgf and congratz!!
Gold looks sick. Chime in your first impressions when when you feel like to! Looking forward to them!
Yeah, I recall reading his assessment comparing to the moondrop line, of course still nice to hear more impressions and feedback
Also on a side note, ETA of the Tea to the shop is about 2nd week of September so hopefully I can demo them this time since it seems like they were only able to get 3 units again because apparently there’s a shortage(???)
Quick, rambled comparison between those 2 while listening to zz top and curtis mayfield among other stuff. Disclaimer of course: I’m a noob at this and everyone listens differently, etc etc. (edit- using stock cable, jvc spiral dots, apple music lossless and hidizs s8 if anyone is wondering.)
- mele has more recessed/relaxed treble, which is the most immediately recognizable difference. basically no harshness anywhere but may come off as less detailed if you’re used to lots of high freqs.
- mele staging is closer in terms of L/R but has more precise instrument placement and better depth (relevant example is the guitars & vocals in sharp dressed man)
- mele handles male vocals outright better than aria. also slap bass sounds killer.
- aria can’t reproduce that almost-in-your-chest thump for those <60 hz freqs but mele definitely can… at the expense of having a bit less definition/speed in my own experience.

Maybe a nice design would be full gold metal shell with black carbon fiber 
Or a full back with xenns up colors on the plate.

This is the one I want. With this shell pattern, it’s like you want to pour honey in our ears.

Damn… Insta buy
It would pass pretty well with my Calyx M, which I will use with the Mele in approx. 10 days. I initially planned to use the Penon PAC480 cable with the IEMs, but I rather will use a Satin Hyperion Silver Cable.

Very pretty also, but the previous one was even better. I dare asking: Lava red for the faceplate and gunmetal for the shell? Thanks 
Holy crap @Resolution your photo editing skills are insane, especially with how fast you’re tossing these up and how clean they are. 
I would pay like an extra $20 to get a mat black shell with a swirling purple/black faceplate.
HBB, convince Trippowin to do customs. I need these in my life now.
