So how many tries did it take for you to get to Rayquaza on the bicycle? I lost count. Also has one of the best OSTs amongst a sea of excellent ones. Favourite ones are the Ultra Necrozma theme, Zinnia's theme, and this.

That cable is more than the IEM and the DAP combined 🤣 Sick combo. I find the placement of the vocals a bit strange when using it - it sounds like they are originating from the very centre of your head. I just can't get used to this so unfortunately it was a pass for me. How are you finding...

They are quite comfortable and tend to sit firm due to the sticky but soft material, but there was one time that the tip stayed inside my ear when I took my IEMs off (VE Phonix). Had to get someone else with a pair of tweezers to pry it out. Probably not a problem with IEMs that have lips on...

This is the reason why I switched everything to opaque jackets. This sxxt drives me nuts.

Ah the 1815 Chrono Boutique Edition. I've considered that one purely because of the movement but it just looks way too similar to my up/down, and also just a bit too expensive. Unbeatable movement and pushers tho. There's the new Dato Lumen Honeygold, I heard it is around 600k tho :joy:

Been away from audio for a while because 1) I am happy with what I have - only a new Elysian Flagship will be able to tempt me right now, and 2) decisions between.... Sadly I cannot afford the Datograph so I am just trying it out for fun:sob: But yeah so it is between the first two...

True to its name, imagination series.:stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Really? I actually find FW to have more bass - much more midbass actually - than the Raven, leading to a much more exciting listen, while Raven is rather...bland after a while. An excellent all-rounder or a one and done for sure, but a bit too generic sounding. For me if I have to pick between...

The Creator is everything you want for a musical, thick and emotional listen. I am really considering this to be my one-and-done as I have absolutely no interest in a "technical" listen. It doesn't help that the Creator is so realistic that anything else sounds artificial. It is a bit weaker for...

You will be missed, even tho the newest Dragon Ball is simply coming up with as many colour way changes for Goku and co. RIP master.

And I am here reading all the discussions about resolution and technical ability while I just plug in my Creator and enjoy music in the most musical manner:sunglasses:

I think there are significant differences especially in terms of bass and technical ability between the 8w and 4w. However, so is the price, and the 8w is much heavier. But SQ wise I think there is no contest - absolutely no reason to not go for the 8w based on sound alone. Although weight...

After the Fitear Creator I am not taking anything that doesn't have a DD for mids unless you are VE Erlkonig LE. Ah yes, the Astell & Kern Royal Oak. They even got the guilloche and the screws. I do vaguely remember Jack wearing a Rose Gold Royal Oak at HKAV show :joy:

Tried the Project M and the FiR e12 today and I thought I have mistakenly swapped the pricing of the two, because the Project M sounded like it would sell with e12's price, while the e12, well....:smirk: The biggest highlight is how natural the M sounds and has noticeable soundstage depth...

So what do you have right now? Seeing that you are (surprisingly) selling your GM also:thinking:

Creator Cables name their stuff based on wire materials but you'd have to look them up e.g. the stock one is Creator Clarity which is copper, there is Creator Vocal/Emotion/etc....Creator Silver 4 is pure silver with 4 cores per wire. A lot of their cables are custom made so they are not shown...

DC Ti doesn't come with a cable. Creator cables sell separately but outside of the Silver 8 (which actually is quite competitive SQ wise, but very uncoloured), the others' SQ are subpar IMO. Better to just grab an Eletech/Brise and reterminate it to Fitear connectors - you have a few months to...

Just give it a month or two and there will be a Jade Pearl Limited Edition.

Agreed. Raven's uppermids are not recessed IMO in a general sense. Anything compared to the Odin in that region is recessed to be fair. That being said I think Raven's mids are more on the thin side. Not Jewel thin but thinner than the likes of Anni23 or something.

I didn't buy and never planned to buy UM as this company just rubs me the wrong way with their business practices. I have no thought on the new product's pricing (really, who is even surprised?) as people will still buy it anyway so why say no to money. But that naming is something else, far...

I remember trying to put eartips on this thing for the first time. It is like trying to open canned tuna from a freezer with your bare hands.

It actually fitted me very nicely but I am confident that I am the minority here - which is a shame because it is such a unique IEM. They can take a thing or two from the Raven as I have not heard anyone having fit issues with them despite being probably the largest IEM I have ever seen. A...

Elysium bass, IE900 mids, Odin uppermids, Westone treble, earpods technicalities, EXT fit, Empire Ears Raven launch, Susvara drivability, UM pricing with no cable included, and FF aftersales support. With a new limited edition colour iteration every 1-2 months with no serial number to indicate...
