The KGHV GG Stax Amp
yes, at least to my ears and with my gears. EL34 are slightly more detailed, 6CA7 are more full-bodied.- phaeton70

The KGHV GG Stax Amp
I have a KGGG from Soren since 5 years, using it almost daily, never a problem. Highly recommended. I have tried few tubes, including Siemens and Mullard NOS, and my preferred in terms of cost/perf are the JJ 6CA7, followed by the SED =C=. but it will also depend on your preferred sound sig, SED...- phaeton70

with the old firmware that was the case, i.e. there was a fixed pregain (think was more than -6db) with both eq and peq, but unfortunately no more the case with the new fw's (not sure about the very latest one, still haven't tried). sure with peq there is definitely no pregain, I will try with...- phaeton70

@Paul - iBasso and anyone in the knows... I need to eq one of my IEM (EE EVO, really unlistenable w/o heavy eq), but I have found no way to apply a pre-gain with the Mango player inthe DX300 (fw 1.06.362), and there are sometimes very audible distorsions that disappears when I de-check the...- phaeton70

Rank the IEM's you've heard
time for an updated rank 1. UM Mentor Multiverse (love everything about these) 2. UM Indigo/MEST MKII (very good all-rounder) 3. QDC V14 (very nice details w/o being too analytical) 4. EE EVO (heavily eq'ed, only for EDM) 5. TA Oracle (love the timbre)- phaeton70

Empire Ears - Discussion & Impressions (Formerly EarWerkz)
I just wonder how the hell EE managed to put all that stuff inside the shell.... I mean, EVO is missing the EST part (quite big, even with only 2 EST drivers there is still the eivec) and Odin is missing the W10 part (bigger than EST), and both are already very big IEMs.... anyway, finally I...- phaeton70

I'm on the hunt for a mid-priced full BA IEM, and my shortlist is including this 7U. given I like a bassy sound (good quantity of bass and sub-bass, but a more linear-ish mid-bass), clear and detailed mids, overall very detailed and textured sound sig, would you suggest 7U? what do you think...- phaeton70
