I got a CKM300 from Japan that i am still burning in but i have to say its sound signature is actually better than what i thought it would be. The treble on it is actually sparkly enough as it is on the ckm300. If the CKM500 is more sparkly then i am not too sure my ears will like it. Maybe...

Sorry folks looks like i cant make it to the meet since i have work shift i cant get out of for that date.   I am very curious about this mystery hybrid iem manufacturer though. Is their website already up and running?

Oh crap i just realised i got a work shift for this weekend :( Hmm i'll try to see if i can swap my shift. So i guess its a maybe for me for now

Just wondering if i like the FA Eterna v1 sound signature which iem should i look into upgrading? Apart from the muddyness of the sound i quite like it. Vocal presence is good while retaining a satisfying amount of bass. The High is soft which i believe its actually cohesive with its warm...

Thanks for your PM svyr.   Since its still quite a long time away i should be able to join you guys. Dont have much gear but i can bring a HD600.

Spekkio, Finally i thought i was going crazy in that i find the miracle to be disappointing as well. I am actually in the same boat as you in that i audition the demo unit during a meet and i find the demo unit to be more airy and brighter than the custom unit which i find it to be...

  It took me close to 6 weeks to get my Miracle and that is before they have these worldwide promotions. After i got it, the fit is hurting me so i have to send them back for readjustments. Its now near the 4th  week and i still havent got my  readjusted IEM back :(   I am afraid UM...

The miracle vocal is not as recessed as the Denon but its definitely not forward as well. If you are a vocal lover kind of person (like i am) then i dont think it will suit you as its laidback vocal will underwhelm you. Try a demo unit first and see if you like it. i was hoping for the...

Quote:   There is a chance you dont like its sound signature. I myself own a Miracle and kind of regret getting it because frankly im not really blown away by them. I find them slightly dark, closed in and while it is not really recessed but i find its mids to be lacking because of...

Acesi7 You got a small carry case from UM Aus didnt you? I just got my Miracle a few days ago and it seems like they dont give that anymore :(   Cant seem to find a freq graph as well unless its hidden somewhere in that big jewelery case.

Creative EP-630 is my first ever IEM and i still like them for its price point.  

I am a vocal lover as well and your review makes me want to get ES5 instead :( Looking forward to your Miracle review as well since i've just ordered it few weeks ago. I have to say that based on the UM universal demo the Miracle vocal presentation is laidback in comparison to a...

Do you have balanced headphones? If so, which ones? No. But my HD600 can be turned into one.   If not, are you looking at balanced headphones or a balanced amp in the future? Yes.   For balanced headphone output, how important is it to have dual three-pin XLRs as well as a 4-pin XLR...

I just want to say special thanks to Paul for organising this meet. I fully appreciate on what you did to organise the meet. Thanks to Jaben Australia, I-enjoy and twisted cables for the giveaways. Thanks to UM Australia for letting me try all of their IEM's and answering all my questions...

Thanks for the PM pkwak letting me know about this meet.   Please put me in the attendance list as i should be able to make it to the meet. I am fine sharing the cost of venue with the members.   I can bring: Beresford Caiman HD600    

Leonardo, it seems like from your post you mention that you also have a TC-7520. If so do you mind giving some comparison between it and the stageDAC. I would assume that the meier unit is better since it costs more but i am just curious how they would compare just to give an idea for people who...

Hi guys, Thanks for the meet yesterday. It was nice meeting all of you. northstar and the melos combo was for some reason not to my liking. I find it too warm that it muddles up the detail, this is probably because of the tube in it that needed replacing so it wasn't a fair impression...

Cool. i should be coming on time as well. Cant wait to see you guys tomorrow

So we are starting at 12pm right? Is anyone planning to come on time?

I remember for the last UNSW meet where the security guy went pass the room and when he took a peek into the room he was giving this weird look that maybe we are trying to do dodgy stuff in there with all those electric equipments and cables all around the room
