Anyone knows what type of 2-pin connector is used in the custom art iems? What cables have you guys tried with your custom arts?

x2. exactly my experience. X Fi sounds stunning and a true giant killer. I know, we've heard that for every other FOTM DAC around, but the X Fi truly is quite special

Of course he will. He just needs the original buyer to help process the RMA. No big deal. Don't need to make a fuss over nothing ;)

If they were trying to discourage aftermarket sales, they wouldn't have a dedicated sales section in their very own lhlabs forum where people are selling lhlabs gear lol

Warranty is 'transferable' - as long as you can "provide proof of purchase (such as a receipt)". Officially, you can't, but unofficially, there's no reason why not - just have the proof of purchase. This is standard practice across other electronic gadgets too...

Thanks man, great info! Appreciate your sharing.

My personal preference is for silicone over acrylic, mainly for comfort and isolation reasons.   Did a search for IEM companies that do silicone remolds, they are definitely in the minority.   Just wondering if you guys know any other companies that i missed out?   Spiral Ears 1964 ears -...

It's been said a couple of times already, but the pulse xfi needs to be warmed up for a while to stabilize. Not talking about burn in here. My XFi sounds decent when first turned on, but much, much better after it's warmed up

I’m a speaker guy. Headphones, rarely. Stereo power amps <$500 don’t make a compelling offering next to emotiva’s stuff. I don’t doubt that schiit could do a much better power amp at that price range, but it just doesn’t make sense.   I have a nad d3020, a little all-in-one...

Thanks for the impressions.   I totally agree with what you said about the over hang.   I believe the excess over hang is what makes the entire enclosure look ugly and DIY.   If they had made the faceplate have minimal overhang, it would look great.

Managed to check out the vsd3 earlier. I don't have any reference to other chinese iems.   First off, it looks quite nice. Build quality is cheap, but i guess that's to be expected at this price. Cable does feel flimsy. IEMs are light, will not be a problem wearing it for a long term.   It's...

Are there any chinese iems that have excellent isolation on the same level as the shure/westones? I'm excited about the bang for buck sound quality that i'm reading on all these chinese iems, but the disclaimer is usually that they don't have very good isolation. How true is this? Looking at the...

That's exactly what i thought - hammond case. All the voting trouble for a hammond case, man.

Fortunately, lack of components doesn't mean lack of quality. Here's the USD7k Weiss DAC202, which looks like a 'lack' of components to most people, but it has a solid reputation.     The M51 is not on that level, in terms of build quality, of course. But it has been reviewed, measured and...

The reason why some of us have a sour taste in our mouth is because all this while, we've been told that they have been saying stuff like, " we've been working on balanced / balanced is achievable / confident it can be done", and making it sound as if this feature was going to be included inside...
