    UM Mage vs ATH-CK100

    I thinks it's always in comparison to the CK100: 1.0 is a tie, 1.2 means the Mage is 20% better than CK100 in this category and a 0.8 means the Mage is 20% worse etc.

    Unique Melody Mage Review & Appreciation Thread

    I believe a good amp with adjustable bass like the LISA III could very well help to tune the Mage's bass to everyone's personal preference in terms of quantity. Portable amps that have good bass per se (RSA, for instance) could also be enough already. (I've heard of a couple of UE11 owners...

    Unique Melody Mage Review & Appreciation Thread

    I agree with bakhtiar. MaoDi, given your public profile you already have respectable experience with a very broad range of universal and custom IEMs; so why not just writing a few sentences about the Mage's sound signature as it is? The really only distinguished thing I've read about the Mage...

    iBasso D10. .UPDATES 1st page, with Current Opamp Choices by HiFlight . . . images page 1, 12, 13, 14, 15, 21, 71

    I only so far use the D10 with my Westone 3's and among all the opamps provided stock by iBasso I found that with the AD8656 in LR and LMH6643 as buffers the D10 sounds best with the W3: Extremely fast, tight and articulate throughout the whole spectrum with the mids slightly forward (possibly...

    I want to order some new opamps for my D10 from Digi-Key (or is there a better place)? There are so many different part numbers for each opamps, and I have no idea which is the right one for the D10: Do I need the EL8201IS or EL8201ISZ, the AD8397ARDZ or AD8397ARZ, the OPA2228P or OPA2228PA?

    Westone ES3X Appreciation Thread

    This is so maddening I know... I received my (faulty) ES3X's exactly one week ago and it was #133, so they're manufacturing already about 20 pairs per week at the moment -- perhaps too much for them to give every pair the time and attention it needs.

    Westone ES3X Appreciation Thread

    They look really really nice and well-done, music_4321! I am happy for you that your issues have been solved so quickly and perfectly. This certainly makes me more hopeful that the same happens to me in the near future. In my case, Westone is making a brand new set of ES3X's and they even...

    Quote: I'm sure you'll be all right - let me stress again that their CS has been excellent all along. I can attest to that; I already fedex'd mine off to Colorado this evening. Doug kindly promised me he'll do everything he can to make sure I'm happy with my investment in their...

    Westone ES3X Appreciation Thread

    I picked up my orange ES3X from this morning. I am so upset I am having the same channel imbalance problem two users have already reported here; vocals are slightly coming from north-east in my headstage a.k.a. right monitor is louder than the left one. I compared them with my W3 and they...

    Westone ES3X Appreciation Thread

    I will pick up my ES3X on Monday and have both the P-51 and D10. Larry, I see you use both combinations. Do you have a preference between the P-51 and D10 with the ES3X?
