Can you describe how NaLe performs after burn in?
Yes, Zion and EH are Bob's vaporware, sadly.NaLe and Enignma got delivered. But, there is no news of Zion and EH. I got my NaLe. I think Zion and EH are lost cause.
Very briefly]Can you describe how NaLe performs after burn in?
Mine not burnt in...so not what you've asked for. That said...Can you describe how NaLe performs after burn in?

This makes sense, as the NaLe was basically the Elan in a different shell (and cheaper) ... and the Elan was the Ozar but with bone conduction, if I remember right.Bit like a cross between Ozar and Elan+ having overall sound like the Ozar with extra separation and imaging similar in STYLE to the Elan+ but the Elan+ has a lot more 3D holographic separation and imaging and both are indicative of their pricing in this regard
It was, but I'm not sure if Bob managed to get hold of any more Sonion BC drivers after the Elan / Plan + / Avalon builds. The listing now shows just "conduction motors", so he may either have changed the driver involved from the original Elan spec or reverted to the way the Dark Matter does "conduction" (with a smaller DD coupled directly to the shell).This makes sense, as the NaLe was basically the Elan in a different shell (and cheaper) ... and the Elan was the Ozar but with bone conduction, if I remember right.
No doubt! Good observations.It was, but I'm not sure if Bob managed to get hold of any more Sonion BC drivers after the Elan / Plan + / Avalon builds.

Either of those changes along with the changed shell design would account for the differences noted by @jon parker .
Try Black bottom and gold upper with pure copper cable and softears tips for the Seraph.Mine not burnt in...so not what you've asked for. That said...
They're bassy and musical. Pretty aligned to house sound. There are no surprises here...treble is nice on blue tops... find them a little fatiguing after a few tracks (see final paragraph for possible explanation)... listening to MJ and no sibilance...which is more than I can say for enigmas and seraphs. This set is like a cousin to dark matter and rah 23. Better or worse or just different I'm too lazy to assess.
Now that said, mine have some of the worst driver flex I've encountered with any make which results in/is likely linked to pressure build up on both sides...it moves a lot of air with the bass...and it's going right into my brain . And that's with three ways for air to escape. Sent them back, told a bunch of tests were done and no flex detected and nothing done about it. Bogus and had to rationalize that there are bigger fish to fry for IMR:
In fact if there's someone in the UK out there who wants mine and can deal with flex and pressure, PM me. I haven't tried foam tips. I'll give them to you for 10% less than I paid...which wasn't much. Basically brand new with like 20min of listening time.
Thanks.Mine not burnt in...so not what you've asked for. That said...

The core problem with that is that IMR need to make enough cash to sink a decent chunk into inventory in the hope that they can sell a regular stream of them.It would be good if that NaLe became one of their in-stock sales models.
I am using Penon Asos and it's a perfect matchOn the Enigma theme, anyone got any good aftermarket cable recommendations for it? Not a huge cable believer, but think it might benefit from a slightly better wire than stock.
