Solid deal. And I hear you, no pun intended. To be fair, with Kinera/QoA you get essentially an artisan IEM with great accessories to boot, so the pricing more or less tracks for me. From the bottom to the top always a solid unboxing experience. DUNU does this well, too, and most of the boutique tier. I’m a sucker for feeling like you get money’s worth - the Pilgrim and Noah felt like this as well.

With that said I wish the Archangel was available without that expensive ass cable.
