Took the advice and went tip-rolling. First ones on the block are...
The Auvio wide-bore, side Medium! Didn't realize I still had a couple packs of these sitting in one of the drawers of my entertainment center. Great, shallow fit. The bore is wide enough to not obstruct the nozzle at all. These are certainly comfier than the first ones I had on and I find I don't need to insert them deeply at all. These used to be a great pick for the Moondrop Kanas Pro and a whole slew of different KZs. Treble feels more open, for better and worse. Seems like these were a little more forgiving of poorly-recorded source material with the other tips on, but that could also be a byproduct of listening on the desktop amp today (Monolith THX 788) vice the Cayin N5iiS or smartphone/ddhifi dongle combination I was using yesterday.
Glad I kept them after all these years; great combination. Have a whole bunch more to try out, but so far I'm really impressed that these DK-3001 Pro seem pretty receptive to different tips. With some pairs, doesn't seem to make any difference sonically whatsoever. Very different story here.
