here is a tease at what is being called the elysium ext (extended) itās going to be a new version of the VE elysium but with a second DD driver for the lows this time. Iām actually really intrigued by this as the elysium is still some of the best mids and est treble in a IEM iāve ever heard and the only thing to really knock about it was the ba bass that just wasnāt quite up to my preference. With this second dd it should have a lot more and harder hitting bass. Definitely something I will be looking out for when it comes out.
The second picture is of a new limited edition eletech cable that is said to be paired with this new elysium, nothing else is known that i can find.

Jomo released some images and some info about three of their new IEMs recently.
The 304 Boxter, 306 Supra and 308 Spyder. All are BA IEMs and are apparently getting shown off at an audio show this week. I think thereās likely gonna be a totl 310 judging by the graphic that they had on their site with four different colours/patterns, this one looks like itāll be purple.

PLUSSOUND VERSE will debut tomorrow.
VERSE is a brand-new concept of shielded coaxial cable by the manufacturer. It combines the most unexpected materials with an improved Type 6 Litz structure to bring a deeper, darker, and more detailed replay effect.
No info on structure and material reveal yet
looks sorta similar to some other black paracord sleeved cables out there huh?

We are proud to introduce COPPER+, a completely new copper wire design for IEM and headphone cables. Features including the following:
- New matte black finish made out of our signature PS insulation
- New proprietary dual shield + semi-conductive layer that will isolate electrical interferences while maximizing conductivity internally, resulting in better performance over our well-established Type 6 Litz design.
- Replaces large size bundles from Type 6 for smaller ones with more strands to further reduce electrical resistance.
- Replacing dampening core from Type 6 for a secondary wire at the center with its own insulation, while the outer bundles also serve as dampeners thanks in part by enamel coating, allowing it to fully isolate that center wire from any form of interference.
- Through innovation and design, we were able to implement all these features and increase outer diameter by only 15% - making it possible to offer wire for both IEMs and full-size cables.
Available to order starting TODAY for select wired and bluetooth cable models. Impressions and reviews from Twister6, Headfonics, The Headphone List, and others will be published soon.
Introducing VERSE SERIES cable for IEM and Full-Size Headphones - our newest cable model in several years. Consists elements from Poetic Series at the bottom half that will provide added layer to your wire of choice for extra protection while keeping the top half non-sleeved in order to have the cable highly flexible and comfortable to wear.

Pretty cool stuff! I like the story how this electrostat came to beā¦
Anyone buy one?
Iāll likely try one when I get the chance, know a friend who ordered one (along with an lcd r), so if that goes well I might consider it

Nice, I will look forward to some thoughts!
Never heard an electrostat before and that lcd r looks pretty good too. Although itās a bummer you have to rely on that one amp. Iāve heard it may work on some others but youāre still limited.
I was thinking of making an āAudeze Adventuresā thread for this and the R.
I was very close to pulling the trigger on the R but was realed back in when only the 1 amp can be used. The Wood is very pretty though. And i hope some of the ātechā drips down the tiers.
For this CRBN i am interested as well but at first glance it looks a little meze empyrium like. I wonder what electrostat + nanotube material restrictions are because it does look a little plasticy flimsy as well. With the big oval pads and light weight im sure itll be real comfy though.
Audeze reps did hint of a lot of big things coming this year in their higher tiers. I wouldnt be surprised if this is it or if an lcd-5 or speakers is still in the eaves.

Supposedly the Audeze LCD-5 is imminent and details should be coming out soon. Same with the Meze Empyrean Elite, which supposedly fixes some of the shortcomings of the original Empyrean.

I wonder the form factor of the 5. Will it be the classy wooden circles? The magnesium finnish army surplus look of the 24 and 4z, or this new oval ovalsons. 
Jude recently released a video on the CRBN video on YouTube. During the video with Sankar from Audeze, you can see the LCD-5 in the background. It looks like the LCD-24 if that is indeed the LCD-5 in the background as rumored.

Its a cool design and it def is lighter than the usual audeze. Its like a stamped metal of an army radio. For a flagship it is a little plain but we will see when its final.
I heard they were trying to go the way of the 24 soundwise so I am curious to see how it leans.

The sound
We designed the Caspian to make you smile, not to be used as a microscope for analyzing your favorite album for every last detail. The bass is playful yet controlled. Itās punchy and energetic, yet doesnāt bleed over into low-mid muddiness. The sub-bass is alive and extended, providing visceral rumble. The midrange is compelling, with a focus on realism and immersion. We wanted all the airiness and sparkle of a quality treble experience without the fatigue of a bad one. To get there, we introduced a series of valleys between 2K and 7kHzāgentle dips that protect sensitive parts of your hearing from fatigueāwhile keeping the upper treble sparkling and alive.
Sounds promising
