I even bought some Ety Gliders to no success, the closest I've come to acceptable bass was with large Olives. So, in my view I've not been content with complaining about the stock tips, I've gone to great lengths experimenting with aftermarket tips and at the end of the day I'm taking the liberty of calling them "bass light" - of course IMO.
Concerning the RE0/RE252/CK10, thanks to dfkt I've had the opportunity to hear them all, and I believe you may well be a BA lover after all. Needless to say I catch myself prefering DD more often, and out of these three I'd probably keep the RE252 - and castrate those gummi bears, if they were mine.

Thanks! And while I have no problem with the CK10, I do find the CK90Pro (after modding) is more to my liking and easier to fit as well as very comfortable. I just have to play with the foam in the nozzle to get my perfect balance.
I have no issues with you calling them bass light, if that is what you hear and you don't state it as a fact, but your opinion. Some IEMs, no matter what you do are bass light, but not the CK10 IMO
BTW, what triple flanges do you have? Have you tried cutting them down to bi-flange (I am sure you have tried an extensive array of tips, but I know the bass is hiding there somewhere)?
And while I do like the 252 a lot, I thought the RE0 was just too far behind in bass and soundstage to warrant praise with me (kinda like the UM3X). And yes, the 252 needs castration lol
And while I am a "BA lover," that doesn't mean I prefer them over dynamics, as I enjoy having a rotation of IE8, Copper, 252, CK10, CK90Pro, and soon e-Q7 if/when I figure out the fit thing.
