Damn you and your rational views, be gone! Here at the discovery thread we love re-discovering time and again just how unsound most of our purchases are! Jokes aside, subpar IEMs are even more useless than ice cubes, I've never heard of 'whisky on the IEMs'.- nikbr

Looking hot! My hardly used Ascension is still available in the classifieds for anyone in the market for a W-shaped EST-equipped marvel at 100€ less than new.- nikbr

Business 101 with FWAL2. I guess both business models work in this hobby, though. I much prefer slow-baked to fried potato despite the latter tasting good occasionally too. By longer tips do you mean something like this: Perfection. 🤣🤣- nikbr

Sadly, I have no earlier TINHiFi products at hand, but this T5S truly is a masterpiece at its price. Looks, comfort, & sound. Oh my, I didnt realise Explorer was just as bassy while also not having as much low treble and treble extension to counter it. Not sure how I feel about it. Would try...- nikbr

Meze Audio 109 Pro
Guys, I bet this has been covered before, but could someone suggest a good 4.4 cable for the 109, preferrably copper. I looked at the original Meze offering, but at 300€ it is just a bit too much. I'm willing to spend up to 100€.- nikbr

Review by 'nikbr' on item 'Tronsmart Mirtune C2'
Tronsmart Mirtune C2 Article This is my first time writing about a portable BT speaker, but it is by no means the first BT speaker experience I have had, so I will draw from my previously acquired knowledge to say a thing or two about this joyous looking thing. Let us start with the price just...- nikbr

I'm not jealous at all ... What a gorgeous thing 🥵 I'll wait for some more of your thoughts and start saving up. I need these. These look so elegant & upmarket and after my newfound love for TINHiFi's T5S which is basically their flagship DD I'm certainly reaching out to see if we can make...- nikbr

The difference these can make is well worth the $35. Enjoy the infinite tip-rolling! Yes, T5S is love. My review should be landing next week and I'm struggling to find drawbacks. Ooh Explorer looks like an interesting midcentric set, but I'm slightly afraid of that prominent 8kHz in comparison...- nikbr

Coreir is magic and thus worth the money for the idea itself alone. I have just swapped the S&S for the Coreir on my T5S and improvements are nothing short of astounding. Coreir's magic is rooted in simple physics. It does not obstruct the sound path and cleans up first reflections to...- nikbr

The Watercooler -- Impressions, philosophical discussion and general banter. Index on first page. All welcome.
Admitting mistakes and fixing them is quite plausibly one of Life's Toughest Tasks. After two weeks of my Project #2 being live I had faced just that. I was not particularly happy with how it turned out as a whole. Thus, I have started reconsidering it and forming a picture in my mind about how...- nikbr

Beautiful artistry indeed. It all starts with the packaging, our minds work that way. Kinera/Celest always get that one right. Design is a weird sort of beast. Some prefer it simple, some need obvious overstyling. It's a bit like Tesla vs Lamborghini. I sit somewhere in the middle. Congrats...- nikbr

Hm, it has to be a no from me. It's got a beautifully done bass with all the pace ever. But is it sufficient in quantity? Not really. And the treble is more present so getting to that bass thumping sensation brings along deafening levels of treble.- nikbr

Nope, no Flex or Liqueurs. I really don't feel like I need any more tips currently, since a combination of one of the pictured tips (+10 different tips I've got laying elsewhere) and a cable can achieve just about any flavour.- nikbr
