https://vision-ears.de/erlkoenig_en How many US Head-Fiers have been drooling over the VE8 reviews over the last couple years, topping EU Head-Fiers lists consistently - but have no way to hear them? I have attended Head-Fi events such as RMAF CANJAM many times with no luck. This is the...

https://empireears.com/ I can say with confidence, that the majority of portable gear/CIEM loving Head-Fiers have been eagerly following the new impressions of Empire Ear's new Wraith and Valkyrie models. I said the same thing last year with the Phantom and the Legend X who's tour is still...

Offered by www.iconic-music.net To continue my cable tour series, I have reached out to Cross Lambda who has come across my path a number of times. This company uses a number of techniques that are commonly used in higher end cables in a relatively lower cost offering. I am very interested to...

http://www.ditaaudio.com Hosting the DITA Dream tour was special, it made me realize just how special a single dynamic driver can sound. In the midst of the driver wars, the Dream was a standout. The sound - TOTL, the look and feel - TOTL, and the cable - TOTL. Yes, the original cable was...

Fearless Audio CIEM Tour - Full Lineup Offered by www.iconic-music.net After a wide assortment of TOTL CIEM tours there has been a lot of excitement over what levels of audio a portable package can deliver. However, I am often asked privately - how about the more affordable models. In all...

After all the TOTL CIEM tours I have hosted, I have only once seen a cable that matches the quality of the featured TOTL CIEM regardless of price. Some are garbage, some are good enough, but none seem to be premium enough to leave as is. The cable look can make or break the experience. There are...

CABLE TOUR 1: Sennheiser Termination - HD800, HD800s, HD820 (Cables Only) CABLE TOUR 2: 2.5MM Termination - Sennheiser HD700, HiFiMan HEX/HEK/HE560/400i, OPPO PM1/PM2, Audioquest Nighthawk/Nightowl (Cables Only) I am not going to pretend to be an expert at cable science as I am not, but after...

I am happy to announce the launch of a new 64 Audio US tour featuring the new 12t and Trio CIEMs. Since these two new CIEMs were introduced during the 10/17 RMAF as a blind listening test, they have been the talk of the HeadFi town, I have since been pounded with requests for a tour. Now as...

With my journey into TOTL CIEMs, I have grown to love not only the impressive SQ offered but also the spectacular artwork resulting from the imagination of the purchaser to the abilities of the creative team at the top manufacturers that take it over the top. We all know what a Wizard design by...

Great news - I was able to talk Ted from DITA Audio into doing a US tour of their new Dream CIEM that is only now being officially launched. We have all heard the praises coming from the lucky few that have heard it at events, flinkenick's "Ranking to Stars" review, or those that received an...

The Hidition NT6 pro was my first CIEM purchased blindly based on @averagejoe's TOTL CIEM review thread years ago. The pro and the SE5 have sat on top of the charts for as long as I have been a Head-Fi member in 2011. However, the world of CIEMs have come a long ways since then with new options...

Here it is, the one we have all been waiting for - the 64 Audio Tia Fourte' and U18 Tzar US tour. I have been able to talk the kind folks at 64 Audio into showing off their dual top dogs - hybrid vs. BA. They don't come cheap, but from what I am hearing from my new A18 custom, they are worth...

Emil from Lime Ears has graciously provided me with some demos to listen through his CIEM lineup. Even better, at my request he is allowing me to share them with my US friends at Head-Fi so we all get to hear them. Yes it includes his AETHER which we have all heard great things about, as well as...

Thread continued from: http://www.head-fi.org/t/741770/customart-us-ciem-demo-lineup-tour-including-harmony-8-pro Given the performance I am hearing from these two new CIEMs from CustomArt, I felt that this tour deserves its own thread. Besides, it makes it easier to follow...

Alright, I get it - no pictures and it didn't happen. I guess you'll just have to take my word for it and hopefully, my partners in crime can contribute some. It's not often that we are able to get such a great assortment of headphones together to listen side by side in a relatively quiet...

Hey Guys, the Mini-Meet has outgrown its PM thread capacity. Felt it was time to move to a thread to open the discussions to all participants. I purposely left the location out of the title to keep our anonymity and left it dateless so we can continue to use it. It feels like we are losing some...

  Eddie Current has recently released a new solid state amp called the Black Widow. If you know anything about the famous Eddie Current products, you will know that their claim to fame comes from tube amps, so this is quite a departure. Having personally heard the Balancing Act, the Zana Deux...
