    I have the Ulan 8-wire in hand. Further Alter Ego cable observations should commence soon. At this point I’ve spent good time with AE and can reasonably say it is the best daily use professional/hifi in ear monitor I’ve ever heard. It’s technically proficient and tonally correct (for me).

    I have updated Alter Ego cable pairing observations for anyone interested. Thanks and credit to Leo @MusicTeck for doing the homework and conducting the afore-referenced full scale cable investigation. As it’s been reported around town, with references to @Chang SG Audio’s Ulan 8-wire silver...

    I like hearing this. Once I get the Alter Ego settled. I’ll try the two silver cables with the Monachaa set.

    I’ve had the Navigator for a couple of months. It sounds huge and heavy. Big fan here.

    If there is already ambient background noise, I’m not sure that anyone neighboring you would pick up the leakage. However, if it’s a more intimate setting, like sitting next to someone on the couch, or in bed, then yes. They’ll hear it.

    It’s grown on me. It drives everything I have so well. I actually like Singularity with it more than I did with the N30LE. At first, it will seem like Class AB presents more visceral low end, but after about 100 hours, things smooth out and Class A resembles what I’m familiar with a Class A...

    With the Thanos and BA Cyclone 8-wire cables, the stage opens up noticeably, but neither cable are exactly a solution to the very smooth and understated treble presentation. I’m still trying to figure that out and I suspect that something silver is the way to go.

    Yep. As I just commented on the extended mix of A.S.O.’s “Go On” becoming a staple of my test tracks playlist, the hi res FLAC of “Dark & Long” is one of the first few tracks I go to for sub bass and soundstage calibration. And it factored into my analysis of the Monachaa and Alter Ego as driven...

    The extended mix of “Go on” has been a feature of my test tracks playlist for a few months now.

    Melodic Artification Alter Ego Discussion and Impression Thread

    As I have completed preliminary cable & ear tip trials for the Alter Ego, I will be copying some of my early impression posts from the Watercooler thread over to this space. Apologies for the redundancy. I am very fortunate to have grabbed a pair of these as soon as I did. My serial number...
