    Now that the Back To School sale has ended on Aliexpress, I could order the Tiandirenhe TDRH02 Genesis. Looking forward to listening to this pretty V-shaped IEM in about 2 weeks.

    I got these three Tiandirenhe IEMs from Aliexpress this time: Tiandirenhe TD10MKII, TD17, V3. Already had V3 but in the purple cap version. All cheap. Not sure about what the original price really was.

    Jay should ask Thieaudio to send him a production line version for him to measure to determine if this really is the 'correct' tuning. His graph was from his own measuring rig, right? While the measurement graphs from Superchonk always looked odd to me (nothing like most other measurements which...

    Thanks for the like, baskingshark. Missed the answer when I checked an hour ago. I'll be on the lookout for the IEM on Aliexpress.

    I'd love to know if this is available anywhere because it's not on Tiandirenhe's own aliexpress site. There's a TD15 that looks pretty much like this but has a different tuning: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005380567221.html Is this a sample you got sent out to you?

    To anyone who gets Ziigaat Estrella for review, please compare it with Kiwi Ears Quintet. They have very similar graphs with just a few adjustments in the bass and treble. I managed to EQ it quite close with 4 adjustments. Biggest adjustment to 8000 and up with a high shelf PQ.

    Just a picture of my own copy of Tiandirenhe TD19. These are supposedly handmade so they will all look different.

    Adding a Google translated link to a russian review of Tiandirenhe TD19 for anyone who's interested. The same person who reviews Tiandirenhe on YT...

    No, I wouldn't say they do have a house sound. The first few IEMs they made were intentional bass cannons. Also, this is a budget brand. All IEMs are named called TD** and the number is up to TD21 recently. Having TD07, TD19 and TD20 (planar), I would say the recent type of tuning is a good...

    Actually, what I meant was I'd get 'any' IEM that looked like that and promised a balanced frequency graph and a price under $400. The graph posted recently for the Cantor is not my cup of tea, so I would not get it even at that price. The Cantor has been marketed as the flagship, so, like you...

    Yeah, these are truly beautiful. I'd get a pair that has a good frequency graph and looks like that in a heart beat unless it was over $400. The cap is probably too difficult to get right and therefore not the final one, as suggested by others in this thread.

    Great line-up! For me, the nozzle I would be most comfortable with is the Quattro. While the angle of the nozzle on Fan 3 is better than Fan 2, it's still too long for my comfort. However, what's Penon's problem with shell shape? Why can't they use a template that works for pretty much every...

    I wouldn't mind a measurement of ISN H60's shell size as well. Length and width, thickness at end and nozzle (width, too). There are size comparisons with other IEMs in the thread but I don't personally own those, so...

    My only discovery this year is an old IEM from Tiandirenhe called MJ Signature. 1 DD + 1 BA. Wooden shells and MMCX connection. A wonderful, warm and bassy signature that's only marred a bit by it's rather poor upper treble response (steep drop after 8K). Otherwise it's my go to IEM for two...
