Terrific stuff. I will try to get my hands on the PRII. Just one question about the LaRocco: some people find it noisy with IEMs, ie high noise floor. Is that true in your experience?

PRII, the noise floor is obviously higher than ipod 5.5G phone out. Hornet and Tomahawk do the best work at this aspect without question.

I got mine back a week ago.

The same problem occurs, but i have managed to sort it out myself. Basically just make sure the neutrik screw is tightly screwed in.

Apart from that im loving it.

Interesting. Bad connector design? I wonder why ACS are using it. Most important of all, you're enjoying them.

Hi!

Just wanted to say that I, coming from Livewires, will have ACS T2 made - 2 weeks time I think

I wonder if the difference between the 2 will be fair enough to justify the purchase

Regards

I wonder if anyone has compared the ACS T2 and UE11.

How did it go? How does the T2 compare to the Livewires?


I'm really enjoying my T2s (been back once for a remould).

The bass is really quite impressive. Again, I still want it to be a bit more transparent, but the slight warmth really makes a lot of music sound really nice. Currently chilling to "Without You" - The Feeling. Superb.

Now I'm tempted by the UE10Pro/11Pro. Fortunately, my wallet is empty from other recent purchases

Actually, given the review you could have made, that's unfortunate.

Oooh look we now have a triple driver iem from ACS

A pity - I only had mine replaced by the insurance company a few months ago, had I known about the triple coming out I'd have upgraded. Still I did get a new set of T2 laser etched with the kevlar cabling, deliver in person by Andy Shiach.

Now if only the bonus was a little bigger....

Looks nice, but boy it's pricey. Still, it's cheaper than anticipated. We all thought the price would be closer to 750
