    Chord Electronics Qutest DAC - Official Thread

    Trying to find a comparison between the Qutest and Hugo 2 sound-wise. Anyone a-b these two and have an opinion?

    Shure KSE1500 Review - Shure KSE1500 Sound Isolating Electrostatic Earphones

    For those of you wondering about tips and tip effects, I found this article interesting several years ago. It's not the end all reference or anything, but an interesting start. I always thought the triple flange (in my ears) sounded really weird, and these measurements bear that out, however the...

    Shure KSE1500 Review - Shure KSE1500 Sound Isolating Electrostatic Earphones

    I disagree with what exactly? And take it easy a little bit, no reason to get upset over iems.

    Shure KSE1500 Review - Shure KSE1500 Sound Isolating Electrostatic Earphones

    Spook - I've been on this site for 11 years, I'm not new to this. I understand what tips are and what they're made of. What I think you're missing is that the "tip" (part of the custom sleeve that goes into the actual canal) can and often does - and I looked at your pics and in your case...

    Shure KSE1500 Review - Shure KSE1500 Sound Isolating Electrostatic Earphones

    Yeah, like goodvibes said, there are many reasons for the tip and tip length to affect sound. My main concern is actually if the tip bends past the kse nozzle you're actually hearing sound reflected off of a silicone wall.

    I'm concerned about the tip length as well, waiting to receive my sensaphonics shells as well. When they did my impressions, I noticed that there's a sharp turn into my canals at the end. I was hoping I'd be able to have the kse nozzle pretty close to the end of the tip but I don't think it's...

    Hey klove - have you a/b'd it with a straight silver cable or done a side to side with the stock cord that came with the kse? Just trying to get an idea of it's sound sig

    Ahh. I wonder if the people that like the combo are using a similar cable. I have to wait for the moon cables to come out, I don't think there are any other high quality mfi-certified in the u.s. yet.

    Shure KSE1500 Review - Shure KSE1500 Sound Isolating Electrostatic Earphones

    Hmm. Could be, although I used tidal as well which sounded worse. I was just surprised since it seemed like Jude loved the iPhone/mojo/kse/tidal combo and to me it isn't there. I've got my tips dialed, using spinfits now after doing surgery on the olive foamies. I was hoping someone would say...

    Shure KSE1500 Review - Shure KSE1500 Sound Isolating Electrostatic Earphones

    I am on airplane mode, yet with the wifi on. Regardless, it's not even close to the computer's sound. When I plug my tg334's into the mojo, it sounds amazing. This is connected to my phone. It's not the mojo. It's not some subtle sound shaping. It's more that the kse's are so transparent I can...

    Shure KSE1500 Review - Shure KSE1500 Sound Isolating Electrostatic Earphones

    I'm using some lossless on iTunes, tidal. I don't use a player because I have iTunes Match and I try to keep it simple. Just trying to figure out if getting the right cables can at least get me another quarter of the way to my computer's sound...
