    It's marked down from the price, $900.00, charged from about April 15 through March 22. However, the price from September, 2018, through April 14 was $590.58.

    Chinese / Asian Brand IEM Info Thread

    Another one to watch our for is 3M's Durapore tape. I forget what the doctor's office called it when they gave me what was left of a roll. It's different from Micropore and Transpore.

    SpinFit Eartips Thread - The cheapest audio upgrade

    Amazon used to sell the medium CP240, and that's where I bought mine. Even though many of the Amazon listings for SpinFit tips say "Sold by Spinfit and Fulfilled by Amazon", they don't have them. Could SpinFit have discontinued them?

    NEW - Campfire Comet and Atlas

    I couldn't get a reliable, repeatable fit with Final-E, Spiral Dot, SpinFit CP-100, SpinFit CP-240, Dekoni Bulletz, or Symbio Mandarine N or W tips; there was either insufficient seal or they sealed to the point of blocking all sound. Comply tips -- TSX-400, in my case -- give me a good...

    I need a new cable, and that one looks nice. Is it available with 2-pin connectors? Would you post a URL to the Penon listing?

    Westone W80

    Also, on 11/1/2017, I purchased a pair from Earphone Solutions for $999. I regretted my purchase for a time, but no longer.

    NEW - Campfire Comet and Atlas

    Try JVC Spiral Dot. It seems to work a little better, athough I know they used to have more listings.

    Campfire - Solaris

    I bought the Phantom about a month ago and, often, I find it to be dazzlingly good. Once again, temptation rears its ugly head.
