I am not surprised.

The NP is a jewel, one among many, and unfortunately I also think unique among all AuR models.

If Abel or anyone else got an NP (switch off) with a more powerful subbass, without modifying anything else about the sound of the original model (switch off), they would undoubtedly have the best IEM today.

I'm also waiting. NP is a masterpiece. Switch On fixes the low end, but male vocals suffer a little.

For me NP switch on doesn't fix the low end, it affects too much to low mids (until 600 Hz).

So I heard back from Nicholas and alas it looks like they won't be getting to my warranty issue until mid May. Those Aehta orders are keeping them pretty busy by the looks of it

Wow unbelievable. Although I can't blame Aur for that but man, regardless though that's crazy. I've heard hisenior mega5est is a decent alternative to Ascension tho. I guess Aur is getting more popular each day, congrats to their success.

Give Abel a break. He can't supply the world as a one-man-army at once. When did you sent your Ascension to them?

Hello.
I got into aur audio with AEHTA.
I haven't arrived yet, but I'm really looking forward to it.

Before that, I tried the EOH cable that arrived two days ago.

A good copper cable should be balanced, informative, quiet in the background, and organic in each band.
I think EOH is very good for the price in this regard.
The base is not too much, and each instrument's representation is natural, smooth and clear.

good job.
I want to quickly match with AEHTA as well.

Fwah. That is one heck of a cable.

Anyone in Singapore game for a meet up this Sunday evening? I booked the events room at my condo. Beer, wine, chilli crab and talk IEMs.

Forgot to add. It'll be in Bedok. About 6 to 10 pm.

I sent it out on the 3rd but they didn't get delivered until a week ago. It was a bit unclear if mid May is when they think they can have any issue resolved by then or if that is when they will be able to actually get to it, in which case its likely I won't see the set until sometime in June. I got sets to hold me over until then though.

This one has really piqued my interest. It graphs pretty similar to the Storm which was an amazing listen.

Well it does affect the lower midrange and still subbass does not rumble. It's a BA set.
But it's perfect for the right music: k-pop, j-pop/rock and metal are just wonderful

The whole subjective nature if IEM preference is a roller coaster !

As stated in a few recent posts I am appreciating the Neon Pro more after receiving the Ascension. The differences highlight the qualities of the Neon Pro and made me enjoy those qualities.

However, I listened with them all day yesterday while working from my home office and struggled with them on certain music, some songs came across a bit harsh.

At the end of the day I pulled out the Ascension and listened to a few tracks before knocking off. That comparison made me appreciate the qualities of the Ascension. What I perceive as their refinement over the Neon Pro immediately stood out to me again.

Both great sets and both have their place but I think in isolation, just listening with them and not comparing to anything else, I believe the Ascension is the technically more proficient and refined set of the two or at least the better all rounder with which one is likely to run into far fewer of those tracks that find you reaching for the next track button.

Yes, that is the reason NP is my favorite. But with switch off

It looks like you get your repair done faster than me. So why complaining? Just ask him again, if it's not clear when you can expect your IEMs back. Not fanboying, but I don't think other TOTL IEMs would get faster repair.

Where's the complaint? I'm just sharing my timeline for others who may have to get warranty work done.

After recent discussion about Neon Pro bass I messed around with the switch again and once again concluded that I can’t do switch on because it messes with the lower vocal range too much for my taste.

However, I found that using the X-Bass on an iFi Go Bar or Gryphon gives the bottom end a very pleasing bit of extra weight. Very convenient EQ at the press of a button.

X-Bass added some nice weight at the low end but didn’t do anything to detract from the fast punchy mid bass on the metal tracks I used as part of my test listening.
