    Norne Audio (Was: Norse Audio): Feedback & Impression Thread

    I normally lurk around but I just had to post something to say thanks to Trevor. Just recently received my Silvergarde S3 cable with some matching Headthrone Adapters (photo courtesy of Trevor). Can't say enough about the build quality and look of them. Massive props to Trevor for getting me the...

    Custom Art's First Foray into Acrylic CIEMs: Ei.3

    Great read! I took a listen to black widow on my pair of acrylics. And the constant rumble really hit me. I've owned the SA7 before, what tuning do you use on yours?  I remember my favorite combination was a - Bass and a = Treble. With this combination the SA7 bass was tight and had little decay...

    Custom Art's First Foray into Acrylic CIEMs: Ei.3

    Hmm sorry i don't have any universal iems that are similar. I did own a Hippo VB a long time ago which had crazy amounts of bass and from what i can remember the VB had more quantity but vastly lower quality. Though obviously they cannot be compared. From reading reviews and impressions the...

    Custom Art's First Foray into Acrylic CIEMs: Ei.3

    I agree! But he obviously did not create this series just for me. When my music two died for the second time back at the end of 2014 Piotr already had plans to release an acyrlic and he told me about it in a reply to my email suggesting that he could make me an acrylic due to the fact that...

    I think those acrylic reshells were special collaborations done with Lime Ears

    Custom Art's First Foray into Acrylic CIEMs: Ei.3

    Now that the announcement has been made and after confirming with Piotr i can post about me owning this. I've had the pleasure of listening to an early version of the Ei.3 (Piotr has told me that mine is slightly different in terms of hardware but very similar sound-wise) for about a month now...

    Sleek Audio SA7 Impressions, and Discussion Thread!

    Was randomly browsing the sleek audio website when I realised they've released a new cable that promises to be more robust and it is also terminated with a 90 degree plug. Looking at their Facebook it seems to have been released around May. Nobody seems to have posted about the new cable being...

    Custom Arts Music Two CIEM Review

    To my ears the Mad Dogs are definitely brighter (drums sounds natural to me with the mad dogs), the music two has more bass but the bass on the mad dogs are tighter/decay a bit faster. To be short the mad dogs are neutral with a bit of bass emphasis and the music two warmer compared to the mad...

    Custom Arts Music Two CIEM Review

    I've played drums for a number of years though i haven't played in a while as i don't own a drum kit. How the drums are recorded and with what equipment can change depending on artist/studio/album but generally to MY ears the bass drum and tom toms sounds about right with the cymbals and snare...

    Custom Arts Music Two CIEM Review

    Great review zebRAW!   I agree with your review, i'd also like to add that the bass extension is excellent.   My pair of Music Two is a State of ART design with further customizations done to it compared to what you can normally get and with non-detachable cables. Decided to do this due to...

    New custom IEM company - Custom Art: discussion, review, and impressions thread

    +1 to that. He recently uploaded an image onto facebook to show an update to the people who are waiting on their ciem. I saw mine there and they look amazing. The drivers on mine are sleeved black and combined with the transparent sky blue of the body it created a dark blue spot that really...

    New custom IEM company - Custom Art: discussion, review, and impressions thread

    Just purchased a Music Two with a blue+black state of the art design. Piotr has been very helpful in answering my many emails and communication has been superb. Now starts the most painful part of any earphone/headphone purchase and that is the waiting. I hope mine will be finished before...

    Sleek Audio SA7 Impressions, and Discussion Thread!

    The SA7's are now on sale for 200$ on the website, saw somewhere that the sale is until the end of the month. Just bout to pull the trigger on these. Does anyone know what my DP will look like as a graphic for the case? Or is it even possible to do it with my DP? It seems a bit too complicated...
