Waiting is a sane and smart thing to do. You got a 50/50 chance that you might like it or you might hate it. If it sucks, at least it was on somebody else's dime.

I hope KZ/CCA can figure that out as well, I'll definitely be interested in either scenario. I am definitely hyped about the SuperMix4. The EA1000 and 500LM left a good impression on me. $150 dollars and a recent youtube video from Jays Audio have pretty much guaranteed I will buy it.

The Trio and Vader really had me thinking and you may be right. Hopefully your IEM treats make it swiftly to your doorstep/mailbox, I am generally impressed with how quickly items shipped from KZTWS arrive. It's about 2 weeks give or take for me in the Midwest of the USA.

That's what has me VERY curious. Very little info out on that one.

I couldn't find any reviews or much of any chatter on the Merga. It was cheap enough that that I decided to pull the trigger and pick one up for myself to see what it's all about. I can stop drinking Starbucks for a few days to recoup. The other KZ that I am interested in is the KZ x...

Just another day at work with my CCA Hydro. I'm still uberly impressed with this IEM and eagerly waiting on others opinions. Just got around to using it with my iFi iDSD Signature and Divinus Velvet tips. I think anybody who owns any iFi signature gear is going to be very happy with this...

Come join the fun!

Okay, so I had to add a late last minute addition to the CCA CRA Pro impression (lovingly CRAPro). The Schiit Vali 2+ just took things to the next level. "After using the Vali 2+, the bass just got really aggressive and fun. Midrange a little more lusher and sound stage a bit more expansive...

They were made for each other, lol :beerchug: Soulmates or Crapmates?

LOL @ the CRAPro. Speaking of CRAPro, some initial impressions since there are a few waiting. CCA CRAPro + Resolving, good tonality, very clean sounding. + Immaculate from top to bottom + Sub-bass is agile, extended and clean. + Treble has some sparkle + Comfortable and manageable nozzle...

It's new IEM day, how exciting! Fresh from the mailbox.

The Simgot SuperMix 4 will be a strong contender as well I bet. What a crazy year this is going to be, just when you think you got your lineup set for awhile, all sorts of new and exciting offerings get dumped on your lap and tug at your wallets heart strings.

Finally caved in and came to your senses :wink:. I had my Magni Unity with me at work the other day and had the Hydro and Dusk to choose from. Hydro was the obvious choice as it is so much fun and engaging to listen to. Straight 5 star tuning chef they have over at CCA. My favorite of the...

Straight comedy gold. What a way to start my friday night!

I absolutely love my Liquid Platinum (not OTL but hybrid) and it really does make a difference with a lot of headphones, IEMs included. A good DAC pairing also goes a long ways.

Guess we will find out. If the (balanced) version is an improvement then I'll bite. In the meantime I have the High-Resolution version on the way for science. I've emailed KZ asking for clarification on the differences between the Trio and the KZ Vader (balanced version) but they have been...

Add another filthy Minnesotan to that list. Ordered mine today as well. Looking forward to this one.

Mine is still in the snail mail so I am looking forward to your impressions.

@Dsnuts I can't remember if you ever got your hands on a Hype 4. If so, would you be able to compare the TSMR-X to the Hype 4? I'm just trying to figure out if it is a waste of my time to grab the Hype 4.

I would agree, they are on fire lately and I hope they can keep up the momentum. The Hydro was a good buy.

Are you normally sensitive to treble or is it just that bad?

Looking forward to the review to see which switch configuration you ended up favoring. I'm still loving on the Hydro, been trying to not hype it up too much till I have a week or so on it but *chefs kiss*.

The Rhapsody had the better stage but not by much. As for timbre, I lean towards the Trio, it's just really nice.

It's just timing. I was late to the game with the Rhapsody and maybe not more than a month after I scooped it up I got the Trio as it was one of those limited time deals before the Holidays for a mystery 3DD. I loved that promotion. The thing is that I like both the Rhapsody and the Trio...

I really like the Rhapsody. Sadly, I didn't spend as much time with it as I would have liked as the Trio came so soon and now the Hydro is my new hotness.
