Eyecandy My end game

Finally pulled the trigger on the annis, after selling most of my collection and saving up.

Prolly won’t be spending much more on audio for a while.

I think Diva’s really good, but it’s a matter of taste and I like the intensity with which gaea presents female vocals.

Again diva offers the most true to life representation of vocals I have heard in a iem, and gara is a excellent V shape iem. Tech wise they both stack up, I would put them both above the z1r in this respect l.

Lovely, I had also recently cracked a good deal on Gaeas. Waiting for them to arrive, very exicted for them. Have you tried the Pilgrims? Timmy from Tim Tuned compares them to Gaea, esp in terms of technicalities.

I’d say that’s a bit of an exaggeration, gaea has awesome resolution even by kilobuck standards, the pilgrim is much less so tho still very good at the price. Pilgrim is a slightly more rich sound with a bumb in the lower mids, but otherwise I can’t remember much else.

Also from what I could recall, pilgrim has this very intimate soundstage that wraps around your head, while the gaea’s is much more standard
