    InEarZ (Fisher Hearing) Custom Remold Owner's Thread

    Hey tayano, this article might come in handy http://theheadphonelist.com/custom-in-ear-monitors-fit-guide/ The press and push method would check for seal, and for comfort testing I'd just wear them for a couple of hours straight and see if it hurts and to what degree.

    The Apple diyMod: My Take on the Famous iMod [56k killer] Featuring 3G, 4G, 5G and nano 1G!

    Hey guys, I've recently taken interest to making a diymod as sort of a weekend project past time. Got an old 30gb iPod off the net and ordered the iFlash so I could stuff the caps in the unit itself. But does anyone have an updated guide to doing the mod with internal caps? The links on the...

    There's a soft canal option, anyone has experience with it and does it actually make a difference?

    Alclair RSM Quad Custom In-Ear Monitor Impressions Thread [ These are REALLY worth checking out ]

    Sounds like pretty low sensitivity. Because I'm running the SM3 out of the X5 at 20 on low gain, and its very source dependent for the much needed black background. I'm from Singapore, a very audiophile friendly city to be in with a large selection of everything (except Alclair, sadly)...

    Alclair RSM Quad Custom In-Ear Monitor Impressions Thread [ These are REALLY worth checking out ]

    Beautiful. Sorry for the flood of questions but what's your comfortable listening volume on the X5 on low gain? Seems like the only few things left to do is wait for a periodic promotion (if they ever have one) or wait for the exchange rate to get a little gentler on the wallet!

    Alclair RSM Quad Custom In-Ear Monitor Impressions Thread [ These are REALLY worth checking out ]

    That's good, one of the things I do not like with IEMs is when they give a stuck-in-the-head feeling, which I personally believe contributes listening fatigue. But the soundstage cannot be compared to the likes of open headphones can it? Sounds like you are really enjoying that pairing! How...

    Alclair RSM Quad Custom In-Ear Monitor Impressions Thread [ These are REALLY worth checking out ]

    Anyone heard both the RSM and the SM3 and could give their opinions between the two? From the reviews it seems like the two of them have quite opposite sound signatures. Currently running a reshelled SM3 with an X5 and pretty tempted by the RSM. Thanks!

    Looking for an upgrade from the Earsonics SM3

    hello guys, was thinking of upgrading my current IEMs, because the left earpiece is starting to fall apart. what would you recommend as an upgrade, or should I just go for a reshell? I love the SM3 signature, although a little more clarity would be great! I would be fine with both universals...

    Reshelling Earsonics SM3

    hello brothers and sisters out there! was wondering if anyone has taken the plunge in reshelling the SM3, because it's rather tip dependent. would the sound change by much? I know that this is going to vary from person to person, but would really appreciate your inputs if you've done it before...
