I've had my Mentors now for 2 years and still ABSOLUTELY ADORE THEM and have no compulsion whatsoever to try and top them. The level of detail, timbre, resolution, staging, imaging, fat yet controlled bass, sparkle, refinement and every other term , I could go on and on... I Love these these IEMs. The only thing I dont like about them is the relatively shallow / flat socket placement. The sockets have gotten loose and the cables now pul loose when putting them on or taking them off. On the upside, UM is doing the maintenance for me complimentary, I just need to take care of round trip shipping and they'll be out of my possession for approximately 3 months. But that's Okay and speaks volumes of UMs after sales service.
It's really a sensational set of IEMS.
This is perhaps the best sounding bit of amplification I’ve personally heard or owned. It’s as if you’re hearing a new, higher resolution. Everything, note weight, instrument layering, imaging, clarity, bass, it makes my IEMs sound like new and more resolving sets. It even runs Joal to this outlandishly timbre centric our sonic Utopia. I cannot get over it or enough of it. I’m descending on a plane as I type and it still sounds like a different beast entirely.
I’m going to see what fireworks pop off tonight when I run it like out into Sigma Pro.
It ain’t just another dongle ladies and gentlemen. Just buy it.
Make the 10th anniversary version of PAW Gold more valuable.
I lucked in to a Reference Silver OFC! Anyway, the cable is amazing and the concept was just a lot of fun. I would only have done it via Musicteck though, since their great customer service gave me confidence that there was no other hidden gimmick.
TWO BOXES with two Mars, how lucky I am. Now they are paired with um jet black and maven2. Great sound and great quality.
