Fatfreq do they really live up to the hype?
Very much. I've the Maestro SE. And it's not about the bass (especially the sub-bass) only. With the right cable(s) it becomes a perfectly balanced iem across all the frequencies while retaining that awesome sub-bass.

Raph is an awesome pairing for sure & very refined. Even pure silver cables work a treat.
Speaking of which, this just arrived in the mail! Not gonna use it until my GM arrives next year, only bought it now for that sweet Black Friday discount.

Finally got my Scarlets. Anybody with the Scarlet should immediately buy a NiceHCK Maple Flagsjhip cable. Perfect pairing.

When I first listened to Scarlets, I was hugely disappointed. Listened to Dance Fever by Florence and the Machine. The mids and highs sounded so muted that I figured I had finally discovered what too much bass sounded like. Only had WM1AM2 for listening when is underpowered but did drive the regular minis ok. The next day I switched from the factory cable and tried a different source and the difference was night and day. Very nice high end to go with that great bass.

Weird experience. It was like they needed burn-in x1000. Love them now.

This does happen from time to time. A lot of people call it placebo but I think it’s more than that
