Not knocking it at all. But can someone explain what all the hype is about when the vox K already exists? Around the same price point and likely similar performance.

Isn't that shorter and lighter than the Turbo K? Vert der ferk.
I want to hear one. |

View Quote I think the resonator is gonna..... RESONATE.... with those invested in that line or that eco system.... YHM makes good stuff, I see alot of posts asking for this. This news doesn't shake my confidence in the decision I've made in the least. That said, those who get these I am sure will be happy. |

.308 Win.........137 dB / 145 dB (Ear / Muzzle)
.300 BLk.........142 dB / 147 dB (Ear / Muzzle) 5.56mm..........150 dB / 153 dB (Ear / Muzzle) No mention of barrel lengths. I'm assuming the 300 was tested with supers. 5.56 #s are about where the VoxK is. |

I ordered the new Resonator R2 but I know many were looking forward to this model...very nice.
IMHO YHM offers a great suppressor without much sacrifices... |

About fucking time. You could have had my Vox K money 200 days ago, YHM. Oh well, I like EA cans.

Quoted: 4get about money for a second and who makes them for a minute. If you could have one or the other right here and now - which one and why? View Quote The Vox is theoretically a "stronger" can because of the materials used. Having said that, given how many of us use our cans and how so few of us have select fire weapons, the YHM's construction is more than good enough for the average Joe. MY personal opinion is that im going with YHM and I already have because they've been around for a long time and IF the gun industry turns south, I do believe that they will stick around so ive got someone to back me up should I have an issue with my can. I will never understand why people complain about products that dont exist and how manufacturers should have come out with something sooner. That's about the dumbest complaint possible. Gee, I really wish Ford would have come out with that car sooner, I wouldn't have bought this horse! |

Another reason I'd take this over a Vox k is that I can get it through silencershop for a decent price. Local shops charge a lot for the Vox stuff and if i got it somewhere else the transfer fee would be $100.

I’ve been holding out on a Turbo K, and with the updated version I’m now glad I did. I plan on getting both YHM K cans. |

I want to see what it sounds like on 6.5 grendel in an SBR config.

It is always good to see options and I know folks have been barking up a tree for a "K" Resonator but I think I'm sticking to my original plan and going with the full sized Resonator R2 which hopefully I'll be able to do here pretty soon. I already have a loud K can in 30 cal with the Sandman K.
I'm sure they are going to sell lots of both versions. |

Quoted: It's gonna be pretty loud. Going shorter than 6.5-7" with .308, you'll knock the edge off, but it's still gonna bark. This guy is 1.6 x 6.5", including the reduced diameter base that's profiled for my taper brakes, so about an inch longer than the Resonator K will be with the QD installed. It's tolerable outdoors without ear pro, but get any reflective surfaces nearby, it ain't very pleasant on naked ears https://i.imgur.com/UP7v1mX.jpg View Quote |

I keep trying to convince myself a Sandman K would be worthwhile vs my S o a 12” AK

I've been waiting for this to come out for some time now. The numbers will dictate if I get or not but YHM usually doesn't disappoint.

I was about to order a turbo k and now this happens.... maybe both?

While its a light bare (no mount) but when you add the QD mount and there front cap it adds on a half of pound. Go with the Q Plan b and HB titanium front cap you save 3-4 ounces. This is the can i usually hunt with. Since I got Q HN i use it now as it feels so much lighter. I would love a 10-12oz 4-5" can just to take the edge off while hunting. I will most likely buy two of these YHM cans. |

Major benefit the Vox K has over the Resonator K is the ability to use a wipe if you wanted to. Now exactly how that translates into real world usage is a question for someone else who has actually been behind a Vox K to answer. With the bigger Vox S and a .300blk bolt gun NFA review channel demoed that wipe making a pretty significant difference in that situation.
Anyway. I'll be ordering a full sized Resonator R2 for sure here hopefully towards the end of this month. I intend to either thread a .308 I currently have or acquire a new one. Probably the latter and it will be primarily for a full sized Resonator. Of course I'll also utilize it in conjunction with my Sandman K on the .300 blk and 5.56 hosts I already have. I just don't see the point for a Resonator K in my situation. But if it works for you, go for it. I'm sure they are gonna sell a ton of them. In the mean time hoping some real world data via some of the you tubers starts to pop up on this revised Resonator and its shorter K version brother. Comparisons to the Turbo K VS Resonator K on 5.56 would be a plus. @HansohnBrothers @Joshua_CapitolArmory |

Quoted: There's a balance, though. The K cans have their place, but I'd rather have the suppression of a longer can on a hunting rifle if the weight is similar. The extra 3 inches doesn't matter to me, 24" barrel with a can is gonna snag every branch in the forest anyway, no matter if the suppressor is 5" or 8". View Quote Short and light cans are the way. “I have spoken”. |

Mines cut to 16” but put on a 10” 34oz can .
This can might be my next can. |

I contacted YHM today via email regarding minimum barrel length "restrictions" for the Resonator K...they stated (in reference to the V Seven 6.5" 300 BLK Barrel on a semi-auto and shooting supers):
"Our minimum for 300 blkout is 8 inches. Using it with that barrel could blow the can and will void the warranty". I was hoping to get away with it on a semi-auto 300 BLK with a light-moderate firing schedule and keeping the temps under 700 F but sounds like they recommend against it. |

No offense to the YHM rep that posts here but that sounds like horse shit on a welded .30 View Quote In any event, I built to that spec when that was essentially best short/light config on the market. When VoxK came out, I built a rig with an even shorter barrel. |

Yep it's looking that way! Vox K has great specs for a 30 Cal true K can. The Resonator K looks awesome as well for those with more normal / mainstream barrel lengths. We're living in the salad days!
