    Totally clears it up so tnx for taking the time. My point was a completely different one than yours so they can still be valid at the same time. We just won't find out soon. Looking forward to your results! drftr

    Yes, but said price combination doesn't say everything about SQ. Pretty sure I will prefer some $300 IEMs with a $2,700 cable over certain $3,000 IEMs with their stock cable. I don't see why one approach would be better than the other in a hobby in which it's all about preferences. drftr

    But what if your assumption is false? What if that IEM scales so well you'd never have guessed it as it plays in the same ballpark as a regular IEM the price of your cable does? drftr

    Sounds like a journey through my subconsciousness or my soul or something. Not sure what it is that touches me. drftr

    Yo bro! Super glad to run into you every now and then! Are you trying to find out what they can deliver with a better source and cable than you'd normally do in the price class? Like, seeing how well they scale and perhaps coming to the conclusion it's not necessarily the IEM that makes or...

    Could be that with high gain you're pressing the amp far too much. Volume-wise this should work, but you're quickly losing all overhead you'd normally need for otherwordly dynamics, imaging, et cetera. Both a "shopping car" and a Ferrari will make it to 180 km/hr, but I'd consider the Ferrari...

    I also came across Penon Volt (I think it was on Penon's page?). Is it the same thing? Could be a translation issue? Or is one a follow-up on the other model perhaps? drftr
