What is the best way to send impressions from US? Express mail?
I sent mine via USPS Priority small flat rate, cost me $15 and arrived in about five business days, with delivery confirmation. I didn't have insurance, though, but since the impressions cost me $50 and I didn't care about speed, I was fine with it. Since Chinese New Year is coming up I would ping Dr. Moulton to see what he would recommend, in case he has a large backlog and won't finish by CNY.
Cool, thanks! As far as I know you can't do tracking number for international priority, but it is possible to get delivery confirmation?
If you send it out international priority they will give you a customs number that you can use to track the package. It does take usps longer however I spoke with John late last night and he did receive my impressions.
4.A is described as being a neutral reference sound, an extension of the classic Etymotic ER4S signature.
I am now a Heir Audio customer. I just placed an order for the 4.A, base model. No options. I had to stretch my budget to make the purchase work. I figure the neutral sound profile is worth the money over getting a Woodie 3.A or a carbon fiber 3.A.
Got my impressions done for the 4.A today... now they're off to see the wizard, the wonderful wizard of... Heir! They're both saying, "If only I had an acrylic shell, four balanced armatures for a heart, and a three-way crossover for a brain!"
While you are waiting for the responses of those here who have them, I would highly recommend you contact Dr. Moulton, aka Wizard and get his feedback as well, heiraudio@micro-dsp.com
As I am sure you have read he is very responsive to inquires about his products. I was receiving emails him from only a few short hours ago, so that would be between 2am and 5am china time.
