I'm almost sure my first pair were leaner (& IMO, better for it) - I think I've got too used to ER-4 nice, lean clean bass. Or my ears are going weird...I dunno, it may be the weather. I may have to minus EQ the bass for some music. Or maybe I need a D2, lol... Tried out tips again tonight -just to check, y'know -still much prefer the clears over olives (still kings of comfort tho), complys, UE flanges. Don't like the UE silicon again: too muddy in the bass. Still haven't tried E2c black silicon...

Good deal, I like 11 o'clock. Glad to know I am not blowing my eardrums off. I might have to try new tips.

Jokes aside, RogueTrader - at least with the D2, I frequently EQ to increase the bass AND boost the mids. Of course, trebles are perfect - and in spite of the 'coldness' of the D2 I don't get sibilance. Now that I am ripping to lossless, in fact, things are sounding better and better. But the D2 is such an animal, that it needs EQ-ing most of the time; at least it does if you play unamped. Does not make music sound bad at least to my ears. Off-topic but I was noticing those headphone smilies and I think it's high time we had a triple-fi smilie, considering the love that exists for these tiny guys...what do you think?

Funny how we all hear differently. The base is just fine for me. Sometimes I have to tame the treble slightly. Do you think source makes that much of a difference, especially when amp is involved and I am using Line Out option?

 

[steviebee]

I have a sneaking suspicion that my iRiver 140 throws out more bass than my 120 - I have to try this over the next couple days. It's just a vague feeling I've had ever since getting the 140 (had the 120 first) but never bothered to seriously check out (lazy + thought it was tips-related)...and yes, I do think source is important, RT. My Sony Discmen (mostly vintage units, + one modern) all have sonic differences between them (brighter, warmer etc) using their line outs...

 

[Elluzion]

anyone know how l,ong it takes to ship tips from idealsound? i really hope these work, otherwise i don't know what im going to do to get good isolation/seal.

 

[isao2k8]

Does anyone try recabling TF10Pro?
I wanna see how it works, for upcoming APureSound's UE cable.

 

[Elluzion]

apuresound is making a cable for UE/s ?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Yes.
They said it came in July 2008, but today is the last day of July, so the release date seems to be late a little.

I'd love a cable that didn't have the stiff area behind the ear. Sometimes that can be a real pain in the ass.

 

[steviebee]

Elluzion -you've tried the Trips flipped? When I tried it, it did make sealing easier...

As for the APS cable - love to. But at an estimated $200 (the price of their ER-4 cable at a given length), it'll be a wallet cruncher...

And, spent half the night listening trying to figure this bass thing. Ignore my previous comments -just seems like I've run into some bass-heavy recordings. Confirms I am no basshead

And wow, does Kate Bush Hounds of Love (esp the extended suite on er, side 2, lol) sounds wonderful on Triple Fi

A really good example of how good TF soundstage can be for a sealed IEM....

Edit\ Dublo7 -you should take a look at the Westone ES cable -the memory wire on that is very short & hardly noticeable in use.

Will they fit with the Triples without much modding?

Where would I get one anyway?

edit - crap, Westone don't ship internationally...

 

[RogueTrader]

Have you guys heard of the new design of the Super.fi 5? If that design carries over to Triple.fi, may eliminate a lot of the fit issues? If the sound improves or is the same as current but fits better, we will have a crap load of sellers of current model Triple.fi's. Value will go down like the real estate market. Anyone heard anything on redesign triple.fi? I am aware of the new portable version with some PTH device and iphone friendly jack.

 

[Silwad]

The cord snapped off the headphones showing the wires inside. They still work but I have fit problems because of it, is it covered by the warranty?

It's not a "new" design to the SuperFi 5Pro, simply a complete new product with near the same name. No succesor.

So i doubt that UE will change the TripleFi to look like that...
