Am looking for a excellent but not very expensive solid state amp for my Sennheiser HD800 and HD800s. Already have Schiit Valhalla 2 and Sennheiser HDVA600, looking for something solid state (Lehmann, Violectric, so on) to better them on transparency, neutrality, resolution, soundstage.

Shure KSE1500 Review - Shure KSE1500 Sound Isolating Electrostatic Earphones
- I- Thanks, that's encouraging to hear. How much of an impact does the smaller sound stage have on classical, particularly large orchestral pieces? I have noticed you have the IE900 as well, could you please provide a direct comparison between the two, as I am somewhat familiar with the IE900...- batracom

Shure KSE1500 Review - Shure KSE1500 Sound Isolating Electrostatic Earphones
I would be very grateful for advice. I have the opportunity to purchase the KSE1200 blind for a very good price. I only listen to classical music, mostly orchestral, and have so far done so with the IE800 and IE800s. I have tried the IE900 but returned them, the sound felt rather congested on...- batracom

Reply to review by 'batracom' on item 'Spirit Torino IEM TWIN PULSE BERYLLIUM'
@Trance_Gott Thanks for the review, its very helpful. Could you please comment on the quality of the treble, particularly in large orchestral scores, and whether you could compare it to other single DD IEMs, such as the Sennheiser IE900 or 800 series?- batracom

Victor HA-FW10000: 10th Anniversary model
Thanks - I actually have both the IE800 and IE800S. For all their sins, they sounded more airy to me with respect to the IE900. The latter was fuller, but also sounded more congested. This is why I am on the lookout for a single DD driver IEM, which could surpass the IE900.- batracom

Victor HA-FW10000: 10th Anniversary model
Thanks, this was very helpful. Perhaps I should try a different beast altogether, like a Helios or another multi BA IEM to achieve separation and avoid congestion. The IE900 was a disappointment in this regard, I felt the details were somewhat too mashed together. The A8000 could be an option...- batracom

Victor HA-FW10000: 10th Anniversary model
Could you please confirm such impressions on the FW10000 if you still use them? My primary use with them would be symphonic/large orchestral, so I would only consider them if they can deliver on that front. I recently tried the IE900 but they didn’t really deliver there, they felt rather...- batracom

@Scuba Devils How would you compare the Svanar to the JVC FW10000, specifically for classical/orchestral music? Would you still rate the JVC over them for this purpose? Thanks- batracom

Does anyone have any tips on how to re-seat the wifi cable? Mine pulled out whilst changing the battery, and I am having a hard time reconnecting it. Is there are technique or tool which could help here? Thanks- batracom

Thanks, But I just want to install the iBasso Music apk on the DX220, not the actual firmware. The zip file comes with a lib directory, I was wondering what I should do with that.- batracom

Apologies if this has been discussed already, but I cannot find it - What should we do with the lib directory? Where do its contents need to be copied to? Many thanks- batracom

Reply to review by 'batracom' on item 'Sennheiser IE 900'
Thanks, it certainly seems to be a valid suggestion, unfortunately it seems like a large and unwieldy IEM from a fit point of you. As suggested by yourself, the IE900 fit is quite something…I wonder whether the IE900 with EQ approaches the Helios for classical?- batracom

Reply to review by 'batracom' on item 'Sennheiser IE 900'
Thanks for this extensive review, its very helpful. How would you rate the IE900 for classical, orchestral? Would the treble be still of an issue, as I note you have spotted issues with vocals mostly, and they seem to fare better with instrumental music.- batracom

Just to chime in - had a very fast ordering process when ordering a battery from iBasso too. Definitely worth pursing. Could anyone who has done the battery replacement please comment on which thickness should the double sided tape needed to hold the new battery be? Is 1mm enough/correct? Thanks!- batracom

Beyerdynamic Xelento!
I think you need to factor in service and terms of sale when making comparisons between IEMs, both on cost and technicalities. Sure, in purely technical terms, there might be IEMs which are better or worse at same price points as IE900 or Xelento 1/2 and some which are much cheaper and better...- batracom

Beyerdynamic Xelento!
Thanks, all helpful. My preference is for the IE900 kind of sound, as that suits orchestral music better. It would seem that the difference between Xelento v2 and IE 900 is not dissimilar from the one between the V1 and the IE800/S. Sennheiser has worked more on the soundstage, and Xelento on...- batracom

Thanks, this is very useful. Could you kindly test both with broad, orchestral tracks? For example Kleiber's Symphony No.5, https://tidal.com/browse/track/17626400 or Mars and Uranus from this https://tidal.com/browse/album/4351103 These should give us a good example of both IEM's abilities...- batracom
