Great singer/songwriter...

Thanks for that!

I am primarily using an HD650. That would be a nice upgrade if that is the case... I definitely feel the HD650 has more potential to grow, although it sounds very solid with the current setup.

Going from the O2 to the Crack+Speedball would be benneficial in what ways? Or maybe what kind of differences can I expect? Never heard a tube amp (guitar amp, yes). I'd like to try something new, but I'm not sure if the law of diminishing returns is applicable here.

I don't think olives will fit without removing the center core.

I orginally thought smaller bore tips increased lower midrange prescence significantly. After more rolling I think the change is not as big as I thought. The main thing with the smaller bore tips is you lose quite a bit of stereo width, and bass and treble extension. This is possibly why, on...

Right now going for 259.95 on amazon - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00LMSP4VY/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s03?ie=UTF8&psc=1     I recently purchased these and a few other iems. These were my favorite of the bunch, although they were also twice the price of the others.   I prefer a warm...

  I loved that about the FX700. Instruments sounded incredibly vivid and lifelike. How does the A83 compare in this regard?

Thanks for the comparisons guys. Overall, I value something that is fun and engaging over something completely neutral or detail oriented. They both sound to have good detail retrevial and resolution. I owned the FX700 previously, I liked it quite a bit. The only thing that kept me from loving...

Can anyone compare these to the JVC FX850? I realize the two sound signatures are probably quite a bit different... but I'm torn between the two.   I prefer a warm, but relatively balanced signature. Have not got along previously with any BA's(mainly because of the lack of warmth/overly dry...

I bought the x1's from amazon a couple weeks ago. I really liked them... except I thought the bass was a little too strong for my tastes so I returned them. The mids were pushed back more than I typically like too. They weren't really recessed, but I felt the quantitatively large bass over...

Quote:   I agree. I came here to ask the exact same question... anyone?

Quote:   So far, how do you feel they compare to the fxt90?

Has anyone tried the C421 with the Sony EX1000 or JVC FX700? I'm just wondering which op-amp would suite these particular iem's best. Just from what I'm gathering, the 8620 doesn't sound like a good fit for the FX700's at all.

Quote: Awesome. Thank you!

I haven't received an email either. I didn't register when I purchased them so I'm not sure how I will receive the tracking. I emailed them a few days ago but no response.  

Sony EX1000 - 331.00 on amazon.  

It's all good mango. The MEELC Balanced double flanges seem to help, but at the cost of a little depth in soundstage. Any suggestions?  

What frequency range would one need to reduce to remove some of the mid-bass? I LOVE these IEM's, but the mid-bass really drives me nuts on certain recordings.

I jumped the gun a little. After doing a few more comparisons to the FX700, UM3x, and FXT90 I don't feel the atrio's can keep up with the FX700 and UM3x. But to be fair, the other 3 seem to do fine at around  volume level -20 to -15 on a clip-zip, where the atrio's need to be cranked all the way...

Finally received my atrio's today. I'm very pleased with them thus far. I actually expected a little more bass impact... more along the lines of the MDT. It still has the best bass of any IEM I own currently, in quantity and quality. I absolutely LOVE how bass guitars are sounding. With the Dual...

I ordered my Atrio's on the 22nd of March and received notification that they shipped the 23rd. Today is the 16th and they still have not arrived. Getting VERY impatient...

I recently purchased a pair of these from zalmar. As of now I'm undecided on what I think. I will continue to let them burn-in before I form a conclusive opinion.   One thing is bothering me though...   On the headphone housing it clearly says MDR EX1000 .... BUT... on the cable it...

  Quote:   That could be my problem. I shoved them in as far as I could. I'll try a more shallow insertion and some of the other suggestions too.
