Btw, did anyone else go for the new philips tx1 and 2. Tyll's measurements look pretty good for both and hopefully my TX2 will arrive in a few days.

No problem. I was just checking in google if there's anything new of the TX2 and was surprised to see a link to innerfidelity's measurements at the top of the search list http://www.innerfidelity.com/images/PhilipsTX2.pdf Anyway, I was kinda worried if Philips will pull it off again but judging by Tyll's measurements they did and at more than 3 times lower than S1 and S2's MSRP, so it looks like these will be winners. Also Tyll has sent them to joker, so we should be getting his early impressions soon.

They look impressive. Let us know how they are.
 
I'm thinking of getting a pair myself.

Yeah, sure. I honestly just ordered a pair to see what philips has cooked this time coz I quite liked the s1 but I wasn't expecting them to measure this good, so now I'm a bit anxious to receive mine. I thought it was weird that aside from a few ridiculously priced EU offerings these were still only available in Hong Kong but I think the fact that philips used brass in a sub-$50 iem made me a bit interested, so I jumped the gun and it's nice to see that I wasn't wrong.

So TX2 being the "higher end" model if I recall.
Brass, I must have missed that part, another juicy tidbit of information. Thanks

Brass...must resist the temptation

Hold out for silver or gold. More musical.

Ah, don't act like you can't afford 40 bucks.

Not so. The best quality musical mouthpieces are silver or nickel plated. Brass being much the poor cousin for peons. So join the true audio elite and hold out for the 100 dollar silver tubed wonder IEM's.

If it exists

If it exists

It's on thievesbay right under the Cobalt housed MH1's

Wonder why there is not more ceramic housed things these days, those so called Toilet Bowls as Sfwalcer calls them , the TDK IE500 were worth their cheapo cost.

LOL If you think about it they are still brass instruments - just plated to look fancier. Now whether the plating changes the sound in a positive manner is arguable. I kinda wonder how an iem made of diamond will sound but I guess the housings will probably cost a few million bucks.
