    Alclair Reference Master Custom IEM Review

    Oh, by the way, they're here, and they're in my ears. I've only had 'em for a few hours, but so far i'm loving them to bits!!!

    Good songs to test bass on headphones?

    No real deep bass on this jazzy funky track, but i reckon it's quite a good test for bass control/tightness. Too loose and it sounds like one lumpy bass note.       George Duke: 500 Miles To Go. (obviously, not so good via Youtube's low-fi sound.)

    I have the opportunity to buy an Objective 2 O2 Headphone Amplifier for a decent price. Could anyone advise me as to whether this would be a good accompaniment to the Alclair references? I mainly use a Sansa clip+ and ocassionally my iphone 3gs.   Cheers.

    Phonak Audeo to close down?

    If one buys the 232 direct from Phonak, they throw in a pair of 022's, which one can sell on an auction site for around 70 quid (minus auction costs, etc), which would take a portion of the sting out of the full price.   I did the same for my 112's. When i bought them, they were throwing in...

    Quote:     Woo-hoo!!   They've arrived, safe and sound. Took only six days. (including weekend), so you were pretty well spot on, David.   I'm hoping to have the finished articles in my filthy mitts in around 3 weeks. :)

    Phonak Audeo to close down?

    Quote: Oh cool. I didn't know that.   I've just done a quick search and found the thread about using hydrogen peroxide as a cleaning agent. Would i be correct in thinking that Otex would work, as it contains hyrogen peroxide?       I've had an email reply from Phonak regarding...

    Phonak Audeo to close down?

    I emailed them asking how us owners stand, when it comes to buying filters in the future.

    Phonak Audeo to close down?

    I've just been on Phonak Audeo's webite and got a little pop-up, stating that their online shop is closing at the end of March and that Phonak will cease to make earphones, so they can concentrate on the main business. (Hearing aids)   If that's the case, then it may be a good idea to stock...

    Alclair Reference Master Custom IEM Review

    Quote: I sent them ISF. It was only cost £10.69.   I've sent stuff to the US before and on average it's taken around 10-14 days to turn up. Postwoman Patricia at the P.O. told me that my ISF package would take around 3-5. I'm guessing that means 3-5 working days, but it's still pretty...

    Alclair Reference Master Custom IEM Review

    Here's a few of the photos i took and will email to Amy for her perusal. However, to my untrained eye, i have a feeling that they won't pass muster. The nice lady at Specsavers said, that if they were not up to scratch, she'd do them again for nowt. Trouble is, she's only in the shop on...

    Quote: Cheers for all the advice A.J. You're a star.   I've had a peek at the Dream earz thread. Geez, going by that, i reckon i could be charged around £60 on top. They'd better be worth it. Haha!! :)   Cool. I'm sure i've got some "unpopped" bubble wrap/mailer knocking around...

    Alclair Reference Master Custom IEM Review

    Is there anyone out there from the UK who has bought these and was asked to pay import tax etc? If so, may i ask how much it cost, please? Also, any advise on how best to pack the ear impressions for posting?   Plus, could someone point me in the direction of a decent, but value...

    Just wow at Ebay

    I've noticed a few Phonak PFE's (with no accessories included) for sale, stating that one side is quiet. I wonder if they realise that it might be just that the filter needs changing.

    Vsonic GR07 MK2 - stunning new cable! | bio-cel tech IEM | now with review - see 2nd post

    Hi all.   I'm desperate to get my filthy mitts on a pair of these phones. I know they're now discontinued, but do any of you good folks know of a place in the UK that might have any? If not, i guess i'll have to keep my eye open for a second hand pair or even risk purchasing from Hong kong. :(
