    Toxic Cables - Impressions and Discussion Thread

    Well, Frank has left for a while and I have been in contact with Max lately. My cable is sent but I guess it went missing on its way as I don't expect it to arrive after such a long wait.    Either way, I am happy for the ones who got their stuff. ;)

    Toxic Cables - Impressions and Discussion Thread

    Well, I see. I am going for the 22BW first then and am gonna see for myself how I like it before I go for the 22SWs. If there is no real difference between 22 and 24BWs, I tend to go for the black sleeve. Think that is reasonable.   Don't know anyone local here who is into this stuff...

    Toxic Cables - Impressions and Discussion Thread

    I think there is a lot to try out foam-wise. I am honestly not entirely sure which foam I have but let us please not talk about the HD800 in particular as it would be OT.    Yeah, I do understand that and as long as comfort is no issue, I don't mind.  SW, BW... I have a feeling that by the...

    Toxic Cables - Impressions and Discussion Thread

      Thank you, but you see... that is the thing. I have applied some damping foam to lessen the issue.  My safe bet would be the Black Widow I think. Nevertheless does the majority here highly appreciate the SW and even say it takes away some harshness.

    As it is gonna be my first cable made by him it isn't an easy decision for me here. Can you tell me why you prefer the SW?    Edit: sonic character is more important than weight is but I would like to maintain a certain lightness as comfort.

    Toxic Cables - Impressions and Discussion Thread

    The Milgauss is lovely, specially the greenish version.    Well, the cable of my HD800 broke and I would like to invest in something new. I've been in contact with Frank but can't really decide as I haven't heard any of his products myself.  I have read a lot good stuff here but would like...

    Ultimate Ears Personal Reference Monitors: The *Custom* Custom In-Ear Monitor

    The idea sounds really appealing to me since I'm listening with UE RMs for a year now. Thing is, I'm from Germany and I wonder whether there will be an opportunity for someone like me to get his hands on one of these fancy boxes.    Hopefully 2000USD won't be 2000€ in Germany. However, it...

    Ultimate Ears UE-x Pro Custom; Appreciation, Review & Discussion thread

    Mine have just landed and I'm listening with them while tipping in the moment. The just sound as I have expected them to sound...    Just got to say, I haven't thought they would be that comfy.

    Ultimate Ears UE-x Pro Custom; Appreciation, Review & Discussion thread

    Just got a message from my dealer, the silicone option will not be supported, eventhough UE is working hard on getting it done... I'm some kind of bothered, cause he told me there wouldn't be problems...    Remolding could be an issue, but I think, every ie crossover can be removed from the...

    Are Custom Earphones really all that fragile?

    I don't consider durability is an issue if you baby your equipment regardless whether it is an universal or custom.  My Shure Se420 lasted 3 years of normal usage and now the cable is broken and to be honest, I didn't baby them.   I was able to speak with one of the Silbermond staff and...

    Shure se425 vs Westone UM2?

    I haven't heard the UM2, because I've heard previous Westone models and the the Westone house sounding doesn't fit for me.      The Se425 is the most neutral sounding universal in ear I know and one of the best dual-drivers in my opinion. Due to the fact it has got a very flat frequency...

    The FiiO X3 Thread UPDATE: Project Back On! Read the First Post for Information.

    Thank you for the information. Then it'll be the E11 to go for. My reflection might be wrong (good link..), the output impedance still influences the fr.    Just take a TF10 and make some RMAA test with some gear. You will see and hear, the TF10 will sound completly different.

    The FiiO X3 Thread UPDATE: Project Back On! Read the First Post for Information.

    Will the X3 be as good as the e11, or will it be better? I`ve got a S9 and I guess it would be cheaper for me to add a E11 for the ue rm...    10-12 hours of music playback is a little too short for me, du to the fact some flights do take a little bit more time.    What the X3 should...

    Ultimate Ears UE-x Pro Custom; Appreciation, Review & Discussion thread

    The Westone thermic material becomes a little flexible when heated up to 36° Celsius. The soft silicone material is much softer and flexes more.    My audiologist said, the soft silicone material option for the UE RM is possible, although some queries occur on some "heavy sweaters"... he...

    Ultimate Ears UE-x Pro Custom; Appreciation, Review & Discussion thread

    What? My dealer didn't say any word to me when ordering the silicone option. Maybe he doesn't know the silicone option is abandoned so far and resulting therefrom hasn't said something.   Well we will see, or I just better ask him again about this issue.
