    The PENON official thread

    I don't know which module Jim measured there, but measuring Rn6 is a crapshoot with that Kinetic Bass port. I trust my ears, but again, it's pretty early to make any real observation.

    The discovery thread!

    Thanks, @warrenpchi, you said it perfectly. I have TOTL iems, but also $30, $150, $400, etc., and I discuss them and gush over them all, price be damned! I'm not "flexing" when gushing about the expensive ones, just loving them as well.

    The discovery thread!

    I disagree. I have lots of high end iems, and celebrate the brilliance of the $30 CCA Trio, as well as the $400 marvel, the Penon Quattro. Preconceived notions in this hobby are the enemy of discovery!!! We all have our own ears and generalizing will get you nowhere.

    New shiny for the weekend! We will see, but it's certainly nice to look at.

    The PENON official thread

    Okay, turning out to be a great Friday! The new eagle has landed, and though I know it needs a good 100+ hours of burn in, the first listen out of the box is very promising. But I'm used to these Penons needing real burn and I can hear that need here. This seems like it will be an incredible...

    Yeah, totally precautionary, as of the many brands I've tried and owned, the Aur has had no connection slippage - cannot say the same for the almost $3k UM Indigo and many other TOTLs for that matter. 2 Pin slippage is an issue for some, but not Aur, which is why it's funny they make a point to...

    The PENON official thread

    Don't worry it will come soon clearly. As for the prices, I don't think Penon is going out of the "value" business, just adding another higher end entry to the list - there are two others that cost this or more, so consider this addition new to the high end of Penon offerings. I am waiting to...

    What I thought even stranger was their warning against "excessive" cable rolling! I thought, what a thing to tell a bunch of audiophiles who spend so much on cables...but I guess the message was don't change this one too many times!

    I went thru the exact same process while testing Bonneville, having already blind bought Black Star. I agree they are more similar than not. I think the biggest differences were in midbass and staging, with BS having a bit less midbass than Bonneville, but having a taller and more holographic...
