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.- emdeevee

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.- emdeevee

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.- emdeevee

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...- emdeevee

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...- emdeevee

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...- emdeevee

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!- emdeevee

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...- emdeevee
