Can verify that the Enigma+ sounds excellent from the Lotoo PAW6K, A&K SE180 (SEM4) and A&K ACRO CA1000. The PAW6K really matches well - it's a fantastic pairing.

On the Enigma theme, anyone got any good aftermarket cable recommendations for it? Not a huge cable believer, but think it might benefit from a slightly better wire than stock. ;)

The core problem with that is that IMR need to make enough cash to sink a decent chunk into inventory in the hope that they can sell a regular stream of them. As has been theorised multiple times, looks like they are currently still trying to get back above water after getting comprehensively...

It was, but I'm not sure if Bob managed to get hold of any more Sonion BC drivers after the Elan / Plan + / Avalon builds. The listing now shows just "conduction motors", so he may either have changed the driver involved from the original Elan spec or reverted to the way the Dark Matter does...

Ah - last time I updated that was obviously around the time Bob sent one of those "Zion shipping now " updates. I'll go and knock that off now.

Flex is where a DD makes a "crinkling" sound when being inserted into the ear, or in use. It's to do with pressure in the desired ear canal having nowhere to release, so the crinkling soundness the actual driver diaphragm moving. Manufacturers confirm it's harmless and doesn't cause any...

I ordered a Zion, but agreed a trade with Bob way back when the Dawn was just being offered to a few people to take a Dawn and his DAC dongle prototype unit (decent, but nothing special). Probably lost out financially, but decided it was better to take a definite something rather than a...

Without any actual knowledge, it looks fairly predictable behaviour for IMR at the moment. The have fulfilled or traded out the NaLe orders for Dawns / credit, and sorted the Enigma buyers. There is a slow but steady drip feed of Enigmas into the market via their eBay site. Imagine some...

On a more fun note, very much enjoying the Enigma+. It's very bassy (on silver bottom / blue top top) and damn enjoyable. Detail seems decent, and it's definitely a very musical listen. Going to give it a proper listen and see where it ranks against other higher end stuff I currently have...

They have to have built it first.

Aurisonics got purchased by Fender, who binned the ASG line and eventually moved away from working with Dale (Aurisonics main man). Dale Lott is now designing and making iems with a company called Spear Labs - they have a basshead model called the ASL 4.5, which is a successor of sorts to the...

Which cable is that, out of curiosity?

Joining the Enigma+ party - picked up a second hand pair from Ebay, which hopefully arrive on Tuesday. Looking guard to hearing how they compare to the Seraph (which might be going on sale shortly if there is a huge difference).

Ain't that the truth, as the phrase goes. This is less like a hobby and more like an addiction sometimes! ;)

Think the was my "R" you picked up on eBay. I never opened it - how did you find it compares to the "S" in terms of sound (and weight)?
