Don't think so but we are in so many threads right now I tend to get lost sometime :scream: I am old you know:rolling_eyes: Are you referring to my Indeed response which was that I agree that the Zenith's are a killer iem (Still):wink: Sorry about the new StarDream but you'll be pleased:thumbsup:

We are in a few threads for sure, and don't worry, I'm old too, lol.

"I doubt it...I worked at a bougie luxury high-end clothing maker in America for 7 years and brought my expensive rigs, headphones and IEMs in everyday--and my bosses,co-workers and others didnt even know what they were even looking at. If you dont tell em, they often have no clue of the cost of my gears."

Okay, but you're not a plumber, and most people that see gold bling think money, money, money
Warning: TLDR worthy:D...but a good explainer:

Not the point I was making...because I have been an audiophile as a dishwasher, a substitute teacher, and as a moving company man too.... and my higher ups or co-workers didnt notice the gears I had their either. I was just relaying the fact that in rich (or even blue collar/service work circles I've worked in), the average person honestly do not know the cost/expense of our gear (or even notice it). They are really not tuned in like that...and live in Seattle which is a very very tech driven city. They would more or less 'see' the expensiveness in gear that is popular by the normies like Apple headphones or Sony bluetooth headphones.

Ive seen this happen over and over and over. When I had my bright silver finished Final Sonorous VI years ago people didnt bat an eye. When I had my flashy and big Sony WM1A...people didnt notice. When I had by big oversized Madhouse Argons....meh. When I had my futuristic looking DCS Aeons...not a word. When I had several expensive Astell Kern players in crazy shiny colors---not a word. When I had a pair of Denon 5200 woodies--not a peep. My big golden Questyle QP2R in bright gold....nope. I could go on and on and on.

What I am saying, I had lots of audiophile gear and people weren't drawn in like it was a moth to a flame like I imagined they would. The only interest usually happened on airplane flights where I have had at least 20 people, over the years, ask me what I was rocking (usually with my dap/dc-amp stacks with my big optical or 4.4 to 4.4mm inter-connections)! I think in a world thats full of tech everywhere, and where you can sees someone on the train doing DJ mix on a high end computer or tablet with big crazy colored gamer headphones, people arent tuned in to to the uniqueness of our gears like most of us would think. They tend to overlook it.

I did a thing! :ksc75smile:
I know this is old news, but this set is new to me lol.
I managed to get a second set of the 800ST so that I could do the nozzle and vent modification. Damn they sound SOOO good now! The bass is more impactful, and the soundstage/detail is opened wider.
The only problem I'm having is getting the right tape that stays sealed.

Peaceful Saturday morning with coffee and music, using AüR Audio Alita and HIBY FC6. And HIBY R8 as source, prefer to not use the phone to just listen without distractions 👌
