I did not tried Pico Slim, but I yet to hear portable amp, which has not enough power for G1A, PK1 or OK1. All my amps were good with them - Move, iBasso D2, D3, D10, TTVJ Millet portable, Airhead, Supermicro IV, Pico. They were different on SQ, signature, synergy, but every provided enough power. So I doubt Justin made Pico Slim underpowered for top Yuins.

try RSA Mustang and u wont regret it!!!

So, if I want to look at clip on again and want an sq that is fairly wide and natural(or close to it), should I be look at the Sony's or which one? I didn't like something about the Koss when I tried them. I did like the ATH-EM7, but not sure how much of a difference the EW9, or metal EM7 offer. The build quality was very good. The cord was a bit short, but I am told the demo model had the retractable cords stuck, but it did offer good microphonics. I will be paring it to my Vaio TT, and Motrola Droid 2(using winamp of course). I do have a simple eq software installed on my D2, but I'm not sure if it can give the well rated sounded kost said a proper eq would bring to it. 

 

Edit: how does the Sony, or ATH compare to similarly price IEM out of curiosity?

That reminds me I have a pair of ATH-EM7s in a drawer somewhere.  Without question the most bizarre sounding headphones I have ever heard.  To this day I'm suspicious there is something wrong with mine, there is just no way AT intended for them to sound the way they do.

Sony is cheap. When EQ-ed, it better than similarly priced IEMs I tried.

Regarding ATs - there are plenty of better IEMs for the price.

Has anybody tried the Fiio e7 with the G1a? Is it powerful enough?

 

And if it is, how's the sound sig? Cause sometimes my e7 sounds too dark on some phones.

Kostalex, what prevented you from giving a higher ranking to the Yuin G1A?

What was it that failed or what was it´s most noticeable sonic limitations compared to the higher ranked ones?

And was the closed back design very noticeable? I mean could you hear that the closed enclosures were degrading, coloring or influencing the sound very dramatically?

Did you find the treble to lack refinment compared to the higher ranked headphones?

 

Thanks!

Higher ranked cans have better resolution, they are able to reproduce the sound more realistically with less sonic flaws.

Just some subtle resonance somewhere in upper mids. Besides that, no problems were detected. Actually, G1A is not closed, it is semi-open. It has pretty large air opening between the driver and the back plate. There pads edges go, stuffing the opening with the foam.

A bit.

OK, just one more thing:

 

From your experience, did you find the Yuin clip-ons as easily dismantable as the Koss?

Can the Yuins be modified as easily with different parts?

 

Thanks!

 

EDIT: And did you find the drivers in the Yuins to be the same as the Koss clip-ons? Guess I found my answer on the thread....

I consider Yuins to have deep-modded Koss drivers, even using new coil. They have felt cover glued, so it is not easy to get inside. And I do not see why to mod these drivers. You still may play freely with clips, headband, foam, back plate, even cable.

OK I changed my mind, these are not for me...

 

Thanks anyway!
