Can't believe you are still here buddy. You are probably the only one that I know from that "era". loll...I was just chilling....It's great that my SE5ult is still functioning... :)

This is what living under a rock does to people......I am very late... :darthsmile:

Damn..this thread grows fast 

I miss the average joe days too. :) people were so passionate about discussing about different CIEMs, really digging into it. nowadays it's all about fast sales..driver stacking... Good thread nic  

Unfortunately I haven't.  But I heard lots of good things about it.  :) 

8 way crossover...Oh my....

Looks like hidition upgraded their tuning cuz mine was sharper/brighter than this. I have to say, it looks incredibly linear, truly a ultimate reference CIEM, I don't think I have seen any CIEM that is as accurate as this. 

EM32 sounds more neutral, with greater resolution and soundstage a bit more detailed. EM6 is thicker and warmer, slightly more dynamic. Both have killer bass.

Same as yours. :)

To my ears, LCD 2 sounds drier compared to SE5 Ref or Ult. LCD 2's upper treble presence is not as clean as LCD 3's, so it doesn't have the liquidity of LCD 3 or SE5. In terms of brightness, yeah I would agree that both LCD 2 and LCD 3 sound a bit brighter and more transparent compared to SE5...

Don't think so, I think it's just your brain got used to the sound, it might take sometime to adjust back :)

Am I the only one that have this problem with AK380?    It sounds very meaty and dull right after I switch on the device, then the sound opens up and goes back to its normal performance after some running time.

I am glad you enjoyed the NT6, tamed your desire for a while. :)    Ult to my ears is better than ref for sure, it's a lot more neutral, accurate and clean. The imaging is more focused and overall more refined. It is a superb complement for NT6. Did that untamed your fire again sotos? :p

I have both. But I don't listen to ref any more.    So you gave up on the solar or mentor? :)

He explained the difference of se5 ref vs NT6 in the review (1st page) pretty clearly.    They are totally different sounding monitors.
