Neutral-bright aficionados with various string instruments in your playlists might struggle to find a better set than the Butastur to make those strings weep their melody in all their glory.
This is also a shameless plug since I am searching for a new home for my Butastur. Show must go on and I could use these couple hundred € for future purchases.
This and an IMR Enigma+, an AüR of choice and the IE900 (+ some TWS) and one could be done IEM-wise. Well, theoretically at least.
Now let's see what will come in / be ordered next... :‐)
For those interested I posted a review for the Acoustune HS1790TI on Head-fi and my blog. Quite a unique iem design and they sound fantastic. Shoutout to @unuselessness for letting me borrow for review.
It's romantically organic smooth sound. Lush full-bodied mids that tend to shower notes; warm bassy but with enough bite and note weight. Posh!
Bass is quality textured, and continues to surprise at how well it's done. Has a nice slam. Not those bloomy muddy bass. The Jap sauce of melody and physicality!
The posthumous lingering of notes is rather neat; doesn't overstay nor flee too soon.
Not bright. That's the domain of new models loak tx01 and tx03 I gather. So if you wish bright and bassy they are the way to go.
The soundstage is cosy, not large nor cramped but separation of notes is v good and so it renders busy stuff rather well. And the organic warmness suits heavy low-end rumbling doom music. Prog and Dub.
It scales really well with high volumes without any distortion and I guess, it will do even better with propah amplification. Overall pretty posh sound!

Thanks, boss. If I decide to choose a pair, I will probably go for brighter versions.
I think I have a candy for lushness... Kinera Nan-na 2.1 Z-tune...can't beat that

Sweet sweet music the Topping G5 + Cayin N3Ultra + Acoustune HS1650CU
Classic tube sound works through the 3.5mm line out and sounds even more spacious while still warm and analogue smooth.

• SIE (single DD) &
• Megatron DAC/AMP
This setup barely qualifies as Midfi price-wise (sub 180€ all in), but sounds so delicious with comforting warmth.
It's a noisy listen, nowhere near a pitch black background even after adding the 50Ohm impedance adapter. But that is just what this evening calls for.

I'm an Acoustune fan and have a few sets they do DD right.
