      I am still working out the details, and will make an announcement when the time is right.  Also, your interest is noted!     Ah, so the price has now been posted (and discussion ensued).

    Multi-Custom In-Ear Monitor Review, Resource, Mfg List & Discussion (Check first post for review links & information)

    After a long absence from head-fi due to time limitations, I wanted to share a few items: My review of the Custom Art Harmony 8 Pro has been posted for those that missed it. I am listening to several demo units from Advanced AcousticWerks as well as the W500 AHMorph.  A write-up is in the...

    New AAW W500-AHMorph hybrid CIEM goes from a mid-centric BA only sound to a slight V-shaped hybrid sound.  Link to more info in the AAW thread.

      I also haven't heard sibilant treble, but compared with others such as the Viento-R, SE5, Fit Ear PS-5, and BD4.2 for example, it seems a bit on the sharper/harsher side.  I have been listening to the H8P a lot for the upcoming review, and the treble quality is similar to the EM32.  Without...

    19 custom IEM/TF10/Shure/IE8 cables reviewed (Effect Pearl, Apollo, & Odin added 3/20/13)

      I haven't noticed an issue with the Viablue plugs.     My SE5 needs longer pins, so most aftermarket cables don't work well with it, but here are the ones that have fit.  My bias for the NT-6 can be found here, and in general I like the TWau, which was reviewed here.  The Oslo cable I...

    Perfect Seal Custom in-ear monitors

    Nice, someone else is enjoying the Fusion 11!  It offers an amazing value since while it doesn't quite perform at the level of the top tier CIEMs, it certainly doesn't sound horrible in comparison for less than half the price.  Knowing the sound of the Westone 1, I know just how huge of a step...

      With the amount of power flowing through the cable, how much is capacitance really affecting the cable?  I suppose it is a possibility.   I guess I need to hear a better demo.  However, I wonder how much different it will be than the PP6.     Thanks for the summary!

      Not currently.  It would take too much work at this time, especially since I am in process of several other reviews.  In due time...     My ranking holds equal weight for many characteristics such as transparency, coherence, imaging, detail, resolution, imaging, soundstage...

      The LUF version with triple flange tips scored quite well preliminarily...a bit better than the S-EM6 overall.  Of course, I still have much more to do in time.    Ported and vented are pretty much the same, but the driver type can make a difference.  For example, the Viento-R uses all...

      Not for a while, possibly early next year.  I can PM you with more info.  I will say it is very tip dependent and with Comply tips it changes the soundstage presentation resulting in an artificial and disproportionate sound.     Yes, this one is similar to something like the PP6 and...
