Comply reduces the punch and slam. White silicone tips increases slam. Blue nozzle reduces treble hotness quite a bit.

Thanks. I will try Crystal Tips then.
I also have ordered the crystal silver cable from LMUE. Any burn in needed for the cable?

Crystal tips are quite nice, my favorite foamie. Don't know anything about the cable unfortunately, but I generally don't believe in burn in for something like a cable.

I tried a bunch of foam tips including Comply, Veritas, Znari, and Rebound. I found Rebound Comfort Foam Tips 4 mm to be better and longer lasting.

No Celeste were shown at Munich HighEnd and LA Audio Show. Maybe Forrest will attend Canjam London.

Thanks Dlayman. Awaiting shipment, this is what they said at LMUE. I hope changing the cables is not complicated.

Not complicated, just take your time. The pins might be pretty snug. Just use steady pull and don't twist. The same with inserting the new cable. Its certainly easier than changing the filters.

worth it for 100 bucks?

wait for accessport or invest in usb type c cable with builtin maybe-crappy dac?

I did as you explained. Was easy. I found the silver cable to "clarify" the sound. I like a lot.
On the other side, even using Large size for the crystal tips, I am unable to get a proper seal. To me the Comply or even the silicone tips look much bigger.

 

[dlayman]

I think the Comply tips are a bit bigger, they tend to be too big for me. And I used the small silicone tips when I used them. Too bad the Crystal tips didn't work for you. I use them on all my IEM's.

anyone here compared the FLC 8S to the Campfire Andromedas?

 

[Fernando Goñi]

After over 100h or burn in I have moved from red-gray-gold to red-gray-green as Forrest himself suggested and I have to say this the best sound I have got so far from my DX2000. I love my FLC8S

 

[artpiggo]

Will there be any upcoming next model after FLC8S? I'm too afraid that once I buy it, the newer model suddenly comes out and I need to be pain missing the latest model.

As far as I know, Forrest ist still working on the Celeste which will be a top of the line hybrid in-ear.

Thanks for info. I will wait for it. Quite regret that this brand has no dealer in my country.

Is there any recommended store to test out FLC8S?, I mean in Singapore or Hong Kong. I might find some time to go test once I traveled there.
