@ericp10
thanks for your initial thoughts. How do they compare to the AT IM03 (I saw in your sig) ?
Way better! Far superior in clarity and detail.

The IM03's are a very interesting iem. [For me] they were not impressive at all until I put Comply foam tips on them and they sound amazing. Although amazing in a very 'reference' way - Its almost as if you HAVE to get exactly the right set up for them to shine.
Currently enjoying the 10 driver Shockwave III which I would say the same as you mention above.
I would like to try the following although no dynamic driver ? :/

Interesting times!
Ermmm, anyway, sorry didn't mean to start a conversation about other heaphones! Please keep us informed after more burn in. They look lovely
DZ7
It's too early to say too much about the DZ7. I can say, however, that the DZ7 is the earphone that I hoped the QT5 would sound like (but apparently fell short base on quite a few impressions I saw on this page). The theme here (i.e. sound signature) is forward mids with a very nice full instrument separation. The highs aren't harsh at all, but I can't help but think that four BAs are concentrated on various frequency ranges in the mids. Vocals are forward and clear (and of course, not thin at all). Now, the bass needs burn in before I can really say what it's going to do. Oh, it is there, but for those hoping for basshead levels, I'm afraid you might be disappointed. This is a midcentric earphone. The bass is there if the song calls for it, but it doesn't stay on full blast like that infamous "can't be named" three-driver hybrid. Now, what the bass does upon burn in may tell another story. Right now, it's pleasant and verseral.
I opted for the MMCX connection, the cables that came with it are capable, but I will be switching to an upgraded silver-coated cable. It's a very full and gorgeous sound earphone that plays jazz, rock and soul music with a very slight warmth. Let's just say I was expect worse than what I heard, so I'm pleasantly surprised. Oh, there are two sound tubes that I can see right now. The build is solid and I don't see any QC issues (and I'm looking for them). That's it for the moment. I may give fuller impressions after a good burn-in and much more listening.
Please do not speak about the 2nd IEM, it's not allowed

How about the soundstage and instrument separation vs QT5 .
No idea what your'e talking about, although I suspect you may be confusing it with another similar one
I'm not personally aware of any correspondance detailing what I can and can't talk about??
Good lord man, this isn't Communist Russia!
