Nightjar Singularity
As I alluded to before, my bedside setup these days consists of the Chord Mojo 2 + Poly and either the Singularity or the IER-M9. Once I’ve picked one of those two IEMs, I listen to it at night until I fall asleep. I don’t switch back and forth between the two, mainly because I don’t want to...- minimus

Nightjar Singularity
Received my regular edition set of Nightjar Singularity yesterday after placing my order a week ago -- they arrived faster than expected in NYC from Singapore. I haven't done any ear tip swapping yet, but my first impressions with the Chord Mojo 2 and Poly as my source are very positive. I...- minimus

Nightjar Singularity
Quick question for Singularity owners: is the 2-pin cable receptacle recessed into or flush with the surface of the IEM? The reason I ask is that if the receptacle is recessed into the surface of the IEM, then there‘s less risk of bending or breaking the cable’s pins if you (ahem) occasionally...- minimus

Reply to review by 'minimus' on item 'Aroma Audio Fei Wan "FEI WAN"'
Maybe the Fei Wan sounds better than the Annihilator, but the Annihilator is better designed because of its proprietary cable connectors. Let me explain: if you fall asleep with the Fei Wan in your ears and roll onto your side a few times, you’ll bend the pins of the IEM cable until they...- minimus

Weighing in at a whopping 1.6 pounds, they should come with a neck brace.- minimus

The Official Eddie Current FOUR 45 Thread
I have never heard it. I remember reading that the Pinnacle is a more linear sounding amp than the Teton, not warm but very holographic, so maybe closer to the 445. Even in the old days when I spent a lot more on the hobby, the Pinnacle was too rich for my blood.- minimus

The Official Eddie Current FOUR 45 Thread
Not to go off track, but the 445, at least in stock form, is not about warmth and richness. It does offer lots of detail, but it is ever so slightly lean sounding. I own both the EC 445 and the Apex Teton. The Teton is the best amp I’ve ever heard with the HD800S and the VC. Actually, it’s the...- minimus

The Official Eddie Current FOUR 45 Thread
Does Craig Uthus still provide repair services for Eddie Current amps? I know he still answers emails. My question is whether he actually is willing to repair his amps, most of which are no longer under warranty, if they need to be repaired. Or does he just tells owners that any “qualified tech”...- minimus

Luxury & Precision (LP) W4, Successor to Their Popular W1/W2 USB Dongle is Here!
I hope some owners can post reviews comparing the sound quality of the W2 to the W4 soon. Would also love to see it compared to the sound quality of the Chord Mojo 2. I like the W2 for its convenience and I know that Golden Sound says it measures really well, but I find it to be a bit...- minimus

Amp for IEMs?
Best sound I ever got out of IEMs has been from desktop amps - the Eddie Current 4-45 and the Luxman P1u, which I regret selling. I bought, then sold, an Astell & Kern Kann Alpha DAP, which was fatiguing, bordering on shrill. I’m using a Luxury & Precision W2 now for convenience and because it...- minimus
