I think you would describe it as such (I've only owned the TF10's so I am extrapolating here):   X10: Have great treble presence Less Bass Possibly a fuller-mid range presence     TF10: V-shaped EQ Full and slightly loose low-end with good high-end clarity but not because of...

I had my pair of UM3X's remolded my Fisher audio, but I did not order a stock cable because I had a TWAG IEM cable at the time. I decided the sound was pushed a little too far into the high-end for my taste so I sold the cable and my UM3X's have been sitting in a case since then. I am a...

@SoulSyde   Hey, I have been terribly busy and have been away from Head-fi for awhile, but I'd be happy to answer your question. After re-reading my post, I do see how it could cause some confusion. You were right on the nail when you said I was distinguishing between the SM3's "volume" in...

@atsq17   I really loved my final setup. It was a 30gb DIYmod + Arrow + Um3x's (which I got re-molded by fisher in Florida + twag cable). My personal opinion with the Arrow is that it is a rather straightforward amp, while in theory this sounds great, I find that a lot of the higher end...

Hey guys, I just saw these over at amazon and thought I would leave it up for those that missed out on the $99 dollar deal. This is still a pretty good price I think.     http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0019RBJOE/ref=ord_cart_shr?ie=UTF8&m=ATVPDKIKX0DER     Enjoy!

I posted my final impressions.   @themarkremains The remolds were through Fisher, they charge $90 + shipping + $30 for the cable. Make sure to factor in costs of impressions as well. 

This is a question that has been answered many times. My first suggestion to you is to simply look in the W3 and UM3X impression threads. I will, however, give you a general breakdown:   W3: This IEM has a more V-shaped curve. The treble is boosted as well as having a mid-bass hump. Many...

I can tell you that an Arrow will definitely add more body to the sound rather than just get louder. One thing I noticed when comparing the headphone out of my 5g ipod and the modded lineout was that I could actually get much more involving sound at lower volumes than I could ever get no matter...

I am surprised I have not heard a lot of discussion about the recently released HRT iStreamer. It looks like CypherLabs Solo has some serious competition!   Check out the link: http://www.cryo-parts.com/index.php/hrt/hrt-istreamer     I am pretty impressed by the size and price (199!)...

Amazon did have them for sale at $95, but that won't happen again for awhile. Some honest members are putting them up for sale here so check them out and try and jump on them quick! Otherwise, another really good value are the Klipsch Custom-3's which go for $99 at Adorama. They would murder the...

My suggestion is to keep it simple. The M50s really do not improve much with amplification, but a DAC can make a fairly large difference. You should definitely check out the Audinst MX-1. Not only does it support 24/96 but it also has a really nice amplifier built in which can easily power...

I would absolutely go with the arrow, before my re-molds, twag, and DIYmod, the stock ipod LO + Arrow + UM3X was awesome. The bass boost is very tight. Just a note, I found with the re-molds the bass goes very deep and is more than enough for me. Regardless, I really never used the bass boost...

Thanks for the comments.   I'd like to let everyone know that it appears the extra sibilance is coming from driver placement and tube lengths. I went to the audiologist today and he gave me some really good advice which I wanted to pass on:   IF any of you with custom re-molds feel the...

warp,   I have to say when I first read your review (and the subsequent few times I read it ;) ), I felt that you were probably exaggerating the differences between the iMod and whipMod. My first thought was, how big of a difference can SCSCag vs. Copper wiring really make in this...

You should be worried lol

Hey guys,     Having owned the Arrow for a few months now, I am curious about the lack of comparison to other amps. Not to mention the lack of detailed reviews. I have made a slew of upgrades to my system recently, but I promise once I feel I have achieved the sound signature I wanted and...

Just so everyone knows, Robert replied to my inquiry and let me know that,despite the fact the Arrow has input coupling caps, using a DIYmod/iMod/Whipmod directly with the Arrow (without output caps) would probably end up damaging the volume control.     I hope everyone who has been...

Thanks, the cable length is actually perfect for my uses. Its not so short that I have trouble keeping my ipod/amp in my pocket while walking around campus, but its not so long its a hassle to have when listening at my desk. You were right about the memory wire, however, the more I use it the...

Final Impressions   Well, after plenty of burn in time I must say that this whole system sounds very different from where it started. The treble has tamed down considerably, and although it remains very energetic, it has a smoothness to it that is hard to describe. Music seems to flow out...

You should check out the comparison done on headfonia.com. You will find they liked the ATH-M50 best as an all-rounder.

http://www.head-fi.org/forum/thread/525245/fisher-audio-um3x-custom-re-mold-review     Just thought I would share my thoughts on the final product. Anyone interested in hearing how the re-molded UM3X's sound should check out my review :)a

http://www.head-fi.org/forum/thread/525245/fisher-audio-um3x-custom-re-mold-review   Just thought I share my thoughts of the final product. I am letting the cable burn in properly right now:

Fisher Audio Remold Review     Test System: DIYmod - 30gb 5g with 30AWG silver-plated OFC copper wiring and Cardas Quad Eutectic Soldering LOD - Twisted Cables low-profile (4xTwSPC wires + 47uF Blackgate Capacitors + right-angle neutrik) Amp – Arrow 12HE 2G (Gain: 0, Bass: 0...

Hello all, I have a DIYmod with a LOD custom made by qusp at Twisted Cables. The Blackgates are 47uF and the system has seen around 50+ hours at this point. I have some questions regarding the SQ of the unit at the moment, I am noticing that the bass, soundstage, and clarity are a level above a...

Go with the audinst, it will be able to drive most anything you will be looking into buying. Check out headfonia.com for reviews, he agrees with me and rates the Audinst as their number 1 all-in-one budget solution for DAC + amp. I am considering it or the Streamer II +, but I already have an...
