Sennheiser IE 80 S impression thread
In the meantime I may have found the reason, why I couldn't get along with their sound signature and I'd wager a guess that we're in the same boat. It's the frequency response we're used to. What quantity (not quality!) of frequencies we perceive as "normal". Your Koss have almost no boosted...- mosi

Sennheiser IE 80 S impression thread
They do seem to get some praise now that more people received theirs and I guess rightly so. In the end I ended up returning mine because I didn't like the idea of a veil which is a more diplomatic way of putting it :). Had some very friendly calls with Sennheiser last week. They asked me to...- mosi

Sennheiser IE 80 S impression thread
There was no burn-in period per any definition. As for the sound signature thing, thanks for making me test the different eartips again. Compared to my DT990, this is the result: Rubber single flange Small: thin Medium: bassy, still slightly muffled Large: Bassy, Muffled Rubber double flange...- mosi

Sennheiser IE 80 S impression thread
I took the plunge about two weeks ago after my beloved Klipsch X10 died on one side after countless years of service. I'm not too confident to write a full scale review and am still unsure if I want to keep them for reasons explained later but at least have gotten a little accustomed to the...- mosi

Xonar essence STX with Klipsch Image X-10?
Thanks for getting me started. I'll read about the whole thing a bit for a while I guess. Can't hurt to try and know what I'm actually doing there- mosi

Xonar essence STX with Klipsch Image X-10?
Well.. I did it and ordered the STX. At first I thought just the low end was pretty much emphasized but they totally don't work well with the STX. Right now I'm comparing the X-10 with some Sony MDR-V500 from a friend and the X-10 are muffled, veiled and boomy in comparison. Normally they're...- mosi

Xonar essence STX with Klipsch Image X-10?
Did anyone ever try said Xonar essence STX directly with klipsch image X-10 IEM's ? Years ago I've plugged the klipsch into a meier audio amp and they sounded utterly horrible as in extremely muffled, boomy and whatnot out of some mysterious reason. Since the STX also has some kind of beefier...- mosi

amping the Image X10 somehow
Heh yeah that's true, at some point I'd have to take a plunge. Call me picky but after seeing the shop where they sell the Xin amps, I don't really feel like placing an order there. Better defined low end sounds like a good match for the X10, bass quantity is already good. From your...- mosi

amping the Image X10 somehow
Yesterday a friend came over and we had some pretty fun day listening to our equipment, comparing phones and sources. I was partially looking to get myself a portable amp to make my main phones sound even better. He brought with him his new Corda Arietta, a Behringer Ultramatch Pro 2496 DAC...- mosi

Impressions on the Klipsch Image X10

Only For Klipsch IEM owners to Vote
While I have no problem with the cable of my Images as such, the whole idea of something replaceable sounds pretty good to me.- mosi

Impressions on the Klipsch Image X10
After doing the plunge and picking up a new pair of Klipsch Image (X10) I wanted to share my thoughts on those little ones. I already have them for some months and they do still amaze me. I went looking for new cans after I found my ER-6 to be way too bass shy for my tastes. In between I used a...- mosi

Are head-fiers "fun" or "analytical"?
Hell yeah, fun - Image X10 describes it perfectly... ah the joy of those little buggers- mosi

In the Blink of an Eye - entire music library gone!
Congratulations on getting your precious collection mostly back alive Tyson! Since someone mentioned DVD-R backups I strongly suggest to avoid those media. I switched to DVD-RAM media a while ago because they are said to last like 30 years when stored well. Maybe have a second backup-set...
