Periodic Audio IEMs Mg, Ti, Be, C
With a little help from Oscar-HiFi, I can confirm that the SpinFit CP155 fits the BE perfectly! It's a very welcome upgrade in all facets. (comfort, fit, seal, performance, price) I'm not sure if anyone else has run into this, but my sole reason for swapping out the factory tips in the first...- SIGcollector

Periodic Audio IEMs Mg, Ti, Be, C
Can someone tell me what the correct part number is for SpinFit tips that will fit the BE? I took a guess on the CP100, and the guide tube wasn't even remotely large enough to fit over the BE's giant nozzle. SpinFit's Guide Tube Sizing: CP100: 3.8mm CP100Z: 4.0mm CP145: 4.5mm CP155: 5.5mm- SIGcollector

If this is what your entire point boils down to, then Insidious Meme is correct, we're just going to have to agree to disagree. I know for a fact that I've gained useful information from meet auditions, and you know for a fact that you haven't. End of story.- SIGcollector

In fact I did take note of that. Quote: Haha, the classic, "I know I'm wrong, he knows I'm wrong, so I'm just going to tell him that he doesn't get it," line.

The bottom line is actually that you can't answer a simple question about your grandiose hypothesis and test. (hence the desperate evasion above) The question still stands: Wink at least made a legitimate attempt at bailing you out . . .- SIGcollector

The main reason for speakers being returned is that they literally sound differently than they did in the store due to the room acoustics changing. (VERY important aspect with speakers) Room acoustics play next to no part in headphone performance, therefore your analogy makes zero sense...- SIGcollector

I've clearly TWICE established the fact that I provided the source / recording / material, and if you need an explanation as to why the KS and the LCD2 can't share the same amp, well, there's simply no hope for you. Could Drew have duped everyone by running a modified EQ on their material...- SIGcollector

I follow what you're saying, but the majority of your listed concerns simply weren't issues for me at this meet. Early on in the meet the place was practically dead and not loud whatsoever, so there wasn't ambient noise to combat, nor did I ever feel rushed to come to a conclusion by someone...- SIGcollector

I was joking, hence the emoticon. (Did you understand that one?) So . . . why, precisely, do you feel meet impressions are, "utterly useless and easily manipulated?" And exactly what kind of test would you have utilized to demonstrate your hypothesis?- SIGcollector

I listened to the prototype pair twice during the NYC meet and was impressed both times with direct comparisons against the HE-500 and LCD2, so needless to say I've been very surprised by the strong negative reactions to the audio quality. I have no doubt that MLE's suggestion of a Stax bias...- SIGcollector

Schiit Lyr having issues . . . SOLVED (RF interference to blame)
Today I fired up my system, threw on my headphones for once, and was rudely surprised by a nasty high pitch squeal from the left channel. The squeal is inconsistent but very frequent.

Fortunately, I HAVE auditioned these 'phones, and at $800 including the SS amp, they simply can't be beaten at that price. I heard them the same day as Frank, and they sounded excellent, with a value level that's out of this world. When I spoke to Drew at the NY meet, I felt he made it pretty...- SIGcollector
