Enjoy it! I've gone back and forth with that one: first time I heard it at CanJam I LOVED it, revisited it at another CanJam and it didn't float my boat as much. At that time I thought it was too close to my beloved Trailli to justify the investment. Then this week I had with it the blue...

The Monochaee is set to be delivered to @stacey later today!

WHY did you have to go and put this thought in my head!?! Just kidding... kinda. If I follow your guidance I should wait another year with the bird before thinking of any upgrade. Great to see that Oriolus is still innovating though.

Yeah, I unfortunately have to agree with you. This was discussed early on when the N8 was released (that they were working on it) and that's obviously been a bit. Happy to be pleasantly surprised, of course. Would be a great little holiday surprise, but not expecting it.

The CFA Bonneville sent off to @stacey this morning. Liked my time with this one but ultimately not my jam. A little bright in the highs. Love having time with them through the tour to figure out the nuances of different IEMs.

Been away for awhile. What is the latest on the N8ii getting an update to full Roon Ready status? It was mentioned very early on that it was part of the development plan but curious if there’s any update or if official silence suggests it’s not coming after all?

I’ve been away from the consumption aspect of the hobby for a bit. Attending concerts became its own type of rabbit hole/money pit. Catching up on Head-Fi, it’s great to see that the bird is still holding up. I find that I still love my listening sessions with it.

Sign me up, please! The pictures of it look amazing.

Jeff, I missed this. If possible and it’s not too late, I’d love to be added to its US visit. As always, appreciate you.

Just received. Thanks!

Jeff, yes please. And thank You!

A lot to be thankful for audio wise, for sure. Will PM you with my address, thanks. Happy Thanksgiving to all!

Just mailed out the Annihilator and Diva to @stacey. What an enjoyable week with both, but I have to say I’m with @emdeevee in that I’ll miss the DIVA. I was enamored with the Annihilator from brief CanJam listening sessions but I’d have to say while great, the bloom is off the rose for me...

@emdeevee , just picked up your package from the post office; thanks brother. Looking forward to a week of sonic adventures!

You can do this. Did it this morning. Easy walk, a little over half a mile. Just thought of something to add before providing this guidance: walking even a half-mile with any semblance of "typical luggage" might make a difference. I'm a long-time business traveler who's developed ninja-like...

Watercooler family… this is a hard one to share. Last night as I was packing for CanJam, an IEM disaster happened, where our new puppy decided that the DIVA and Supermoon under my responsibility were Chicklets for him to sample. I’ve already communicated with @Rockwell75 to work with the...

For those who don’t know, the hotel is juuuust close enough that if weather isn’t too hot and you packed lightly, you could literally walk from the airport to the hotel. A Lyft would be easy too, but if you want to get your step count in, just saying.

Love it! I’ve been out of the mix for the last several months honestly… been going WAY down the live music/concert rabbit hole and it’s been an absolute blast, but ready to come back to Head-Fi and catch up on things. Seeing everyone this weekend is perfect timing. I’m flying in on Friday...

Can’t wait! 😎

Diva and Supermoon received from @stacey. Will need to look at the updated list on who’s next; if that person is gonna be at SoCal CanJam, with that happening next week that could be the perfect place to transition package to them that way instead of mailing out.

Amazing list! I definitely encourage any new folks to plan for some seminar time, it’s easy to feel that you need to dedicate every possible listening moment to auditioning gear, clearly a priority for many of us, but I’m always appreciative of the knowledge I gain from getting some schooling...

@ericpalonen @Sennheiser , not to cause any drama, but I was booked with a 3pm time before the Calendly hiccup, confirmed here in the thread and by email. Now nothing is available for that same desired time on Saturday. Please advise how we can resolve, thanks!

@ericpalonen , @Sennheiser thanks for the update. Got the cancelation notice out of the blue and was initially a bit "frosty" about it, lol.

Signed up for the HE-1. Cool beans! Surprised there’s ANY slots still open, a day after announcement.

You’ve given me reason to reconsider the MO’s… bad news for my wallet. I’m extremely happy with my “standard” Elrogs and was kinda hoping that would keep me from being curious about the MO, but with this praise I at least wanna hear them.
