Great news, Mike. I am amazed that we saw so little of Mr. Hyde during this drama!

Does any ES5 users have an O2?

Hi,

 

Any comments on pairing the ES5 with ALO Continental v2?

Been considering purchasing the Continental but not too sure if it goes well with the ES5.

 

Appreciate any input.

 

Thank you.

If it's anything like the GoVibe Portatube I would not recommend the pairing.  A warmer amp with higher output impedance and less focus on current than voltage.  All non ideal for the ES5.  Although the amp is claimed to be tube it's mostly solid state yet was horrible driving the T50rp which likes current similarly to the Es5.

Have you posted anything regarding the ES5 + O2?

Hi,

 

Just wondering if anyone here has reshelled their Westone ES5s with Unique Melody?

Does the sound signature change and will the pure acrylic shell feel any different from the flex tip that Westone uses?

 

Thank you.

I got mine back today.  Turns out both bass drivers were busted.

 

Listening to these now, they sound pretty good, but a bit darker than I thought they'd be.  It might just be my Hifiman, though, or the fact that I'm coming from Edition 8's. I'll try them with some other sources when I get home.

Just received my SR-71B today, and am really enjoying the results with my ES5. Right off the bat the bass response is more apparent than with my protector, I seem to be getting more dynamics throughout the audible spectrum. Just running my iPhone into the amp, don't have any balanced sources, but can try my DAC and other sources at home later. Running the TWag balanced out to my IEMs. I didn't think the Protector was all that impressive with the ES5, whereas I really enjoyed it with the UM3X. Of course now I can effectively power my LCD-2 also, which is pretty awesome.

2 weeks. I paid for rush processing, but they don't do rush processing when there's a defect, so I'm going to be refunded for that. 

 

Westone seems to think my source blew them out, but they sounded like that from the get-go, and I was listening at a fairly low volume with the same player I'm using now, so... I don't know!
