[GUIDE] Balanced AKG K702 with detachable 4-pin mini-XLR cable
Ah that's true, it would indeed point to the back once you put the left cup on the right. Definitely agreed that dual-entry is overkill.- castigar

[GUIDE] Balanced AKG K702 with detachable 4-pin mini-XLR cable
I think the cups are interchangeable, so you could probably put the left cup with the 3-pin mini-XLR onto the right side and do a y-split. As for where to order the cups, I think I just went to their website and found a number to call. There's no online store for parts AFAIK. There's also...- castigar

[GUIDE] Balanced AKG K702 with detachable 4-pin mini-XLR cable
I have not tried it, but I can't imagine it'd be too hard. And I definitely agree that 4-pin XLR should be used more, though I can see the large size of the connector being a disadvantage compared to other balanced connectors (like the one used on the RSA Protector). Though the larger connector...- castigar

[GUIDE] Balanced AKG K702 with detachable 4-pin mini-XLR cable
Quote: You used your soldering iron to dislodge the mini-XLR? Well I hope you were wearing a mask and not breathing in the fumes from burning plastic! But whatever works, right? I'll admit It's a lot more convenient than having to find a press. Good to hear that this guide I wrote...- castigar

Review: Fischer Audio's DBA-02
Has anyone compared the included tri-flanges with Ety tri-flanges? From my brief memory with a defective pair a while ago, the Ety's were a really tight fit onto the nozzle, but I don't remember much about how they sounded compared to my current new pair.- castigar

Review: Fischer Audio's DBA-02
I finally got my pair after a mixup in the shipping address. I tried using the stock tips, but they didn't fit my ears well at all. I then tried the included triple-flanges, which fit very well, and I get a pretty deep insertion. The amount of bass is definitely not lacking, and this is...- castigar

Review: Fischer Audio's DBA-02
No, I'm still waiting as well, and I'm in Norcal right now. I'm just wondering if everyone in the US who got theirs already got Xpress Post shipping or mine is just especially slow. Will check mail again when I get back from work though. Quote:- castigar

I take that to mean that they are shipping from the factory today? Thanks for the info, Dmitri! Quote:- castigar

James444's IEM giveaway thread (competition has ended - see post #344 and #354 for winners!)
I'd be curious to try the CK100 as well, seeing as how they are considered top-tier universal IEMs in averagejoe's thread. If I do somehow win it, I'd probably compare it to the Fischer Audio DBA-02 that I've preordered and am waiting anxiously for. I'm also mildly interested in the FX500...- castigar

Just curious, slaters70, but how do the DBA-02 compare to the ER4P? Quote:- castigar

Review: Fischer Audio's DBA-02
Quote: Sorry to hear that :( But $80 for such a small and light package? That's kinda ridiculous. Maybe try DHL or even USPS or something? My seller was nice and offered a refund, so after contemplating shipping these to Russia (to Dmitry), I decided to just ship mine back to the...- castigar

Review: Fischer Audio's DBA-02
Yea, but you're forgetting the fact that we're still on the path to going broke. :) I've sold stuff here just to buy more expensive stuff too, and my wallet's really not appreciating my effort. But in all seriousness, I agree. Being able to sell stuff here so easily is a great thing. It's...- castigar

Review: Fischer Audio's DBA-02
My seller agreed to contact Dmitry (the ebay seller), and ask for repair/replacement, and he even offered to pay shipping for me to ship it to Dmitry. We're still waiting to hear back from him. I guess both yianni and I will get things sorted out.- castigar

Review: Fischer Audio's DBA-02
I guess I'll ask for that when I hear back from him. And yes, I will definitely want a replacement, these sound too good for my wallet to stop me... Ethan hopefully still has enough from the new shipment for me to get one. Quote:- castigar
