Remind me which version the candy monk was based on?

One step under maximum just to be on the side of caution.

Soooo... I finally found my old VE stash hidden away in the garage. 😅 Maaaaan! The Monk Go really shines with the old RA and Odyssey combo. Soundstage improves so much, and really make it sing.

I know! Sounds like an oxymoron, but I just didn't like that I had to take em out and set them over the ears over and over again. With headphones, they just sit on your neck the whole time. Was just way more efficient.

By the way guys. Lee is releasing the VE Monk Go which is the next generation of Monk (obviously). Its seems to be more akin in signature to the V2 Monk that made all the hype back in the day. But anyway come give the thread some love like the good ol' days...

I remember Wokei had an operation a few years back, and after that he kinda started getting less and less into Head-Fi. As with a lot of us, life just catches up to you and you realise whats more important when time management becomes a priority. I do hope he's well. I've been real lazy on the...

So I know I've been away for a LOOOONG time. A few years actually. But I actually got my hands of the new Monk Go and a couple of other goodies and thought it would just be the honourable thing to come back here and continue the journey. I'll post some impressions very soon and will be updating...

Candy Monk probably got more attention from me than any other, but the V2 Monk was where it's at IMO.

Guess who's back?

My unit is almost 3 years old and has hundreds, if not thousands, of hours on it, but they're still in good shape.
