Nice chair! 
Need a full review, of course.

Of course! I have extensive experience with the chair. I’ll throw in a few lines about the amp too.

Never heard of em so I was curious and decided to try em for some op-amp rolling. Jakub from Staccato was a pleasure to deal with; no complaints with the service!

How do they compare to other opamps you compared to? Do you plan to have a shootout post?

Haven’t tried yet. Will post something on the Soloist thread once I get some time with them.

HD580/600/650 and HD800S cables from LQI. I feel they do a good job.
Need to let them burn in. To let the sonic waves settle in and form as intended in nature, by bonding with an organic chemistry.

Mest Mk II - Brand new.
Everything from box, strap, accesories, cable and the IEM themselves, ouze with quality. If the sound is at the same level…

I look forward to your impressions. I’ve read that the measurements don’t’ necessarily reflect how clear the midrange is ( measurements show a little less ear gain than some other earphones in that price range), so I’m curious what your take is on that.

So far it is very clear and I would even call the midrange elevated. Male voices comes through very detailed and loud, so at this point I think the midrange is more clear and pronounced than most of my other IEMs.
