It's fancy enough, I used the same rig for some time - with black meelec cable guides though.

I thought about gluing the cable into the guide as every now and then it falls out at the ends, not quite sure if it's a good idea though.

Saving up for the upcoming 1964 ears V8  After that just finding a dap that has more than 250+gigs

 

You mean V6? AFAIK there's no upcoming V8

hmm, I thought they are still in the process of training their associates how to make it. If not then I would still wait, lol. I really want an 8 driver since to me it is a true upgrade.

Or even better, get the new Apex Glacier and save $100 for a DAC that is 90% as good and an impeccably clean, Pete Millet, TTVJ-designed, stepped-attenuator-based amp section with vastly more voltage swing :)

So the Note 2, will be also accept the "Apex Glacier" DAC? and how did you know that the S3 will work with "Apex Glacier"?

Nice Rig!:) how does the UM TF10x4 compare to the original triple fi10 sound wise? im contemplating on doing a reshell with the added driver.

I added a mid driver and it sounds a bit better. I have 3 playlists that I play often and I can honestly say that I hear a bit more detail on those (FLAC/ALAC format) like hearing an instrument/vocals being played in the background that I haven't heard before. Sibilance becomes a problem when I'm listening to high notes/voices like Celine Dion. You can fix that by having an amp with bass boost. Is it worth it? I'm not sure since I have forgotten what the TF10 sounded like. I'm not even sure if adding more drivers = better. Guess I'm gonna find out lol.

BTW, I will only consider upgrading my dap or headphones since that is where the bulk of the sound quality lies imho. Pretty happy with my cheap amp lol

I see, thanks for the info. hmm, im allergic to sibilance. lol. looks like tf10+1 driver is not the way to go for me. it ain't cheap either. :( think i will go with a basic reshell. i agree that upgrading dap  or headphones is more of a worthy upgrade. i suggest you try out different amps with the fi10s, i find it very sensitive to amps IMHO.

Is the normal universal TF10 sibilant to you then?

I wouldn't say it's a good idea LOL. And yeah, they like to fall out and that's why I don't use them anymore or just use vsonic guides.

i just put a touch of electrical tape over the guide to hold it in place.  Might be worth a try, if you put it at the bottom you dont feel it against the ear.
