    Largest and thickest silicon tip fitting IE8/TF10 and mods

      Quote: Would this only work when the IEM nozzle is long enough to extend almost to the tip of the inner (smaller) flange?  Otherwise it would seem like there would be little or no support for this inner flange and it might have a tendency to bend or fold and possibly block the sound...

    Panasonic CZs (HJE900) Appreciation Thread and Pending Review

    I could be wrong but I don't think these are authentic Sony tips can be ordered all in 1 size so I would pay $10 and could only use 1 pair.  The ones in the e-bay link can be ordered in any size mix but I do not believe they are authentic Sony tips, but rather Sony "compatible".    I have...

    Panasonic CZs (HJE900) Appreciation Thread and Pending Review

    Does any one know if these fake Sony tips will fit the HJE900's?   http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/earbud-replacement-SONY-EP-EX10A-WILL-FIT-MANY-TYPES_W0QQitemZ150438421011QQihZ005QQcategoryZ112529QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem#shId   The opening in the output tube in the picture looks...

    Great past composers/musicians ...

    Which, long gone, musician or composer do you wish was still alive and still performing/composing?   After listening to his best work for a whole evening, my vote is for Sergei Vasilievich Rachmaninoff.

    [FYI] Various IEM's tips pictorial comparison (updated Sept 29th, 2011)

    Has anyone tried the V-Moda "style" tips?  They are great on the Panasonic HJE900's, almost as good as the Shure Olives and easier to insert (over the ears only, for me though).  The output opening flares out a bit which I believe helps SQ.   And they are CHEAP!! (6 pairs for $4 shipped).  ...

    Panasonic RP-HJE900 Zirconia Review

    Quote:   I have been wanting to get the SA6 cables but I have read about the quality issues they have.  It looks like Sleek Audio will replace the old ones (2009 version?) with new ones (2010 version?) if they break but I don't want to go through the hazzle.  Did you have any quality...

    Panasonic RP-HJE900 Zirconia Review

    Quote: Thanks Eric,   I went ahead and shortened the output tube of the Phonak Audeo tips.  As you can see from the 2nd pic, the 900's nozzle is much closer to the end of the output tube now, which is also much wider than before.  Surprinsingly, very little of the old sibilance is back...

    Panasonic RP-HJE900 Zirconia Review

    Quote:   This is a slight variation on previously posted methods:   slowly scrape down the core with the tip of the small screwdriver, while turning the punch tool.  A different tool with a curved edge would probably cut faster and better.  This takes about 5 minutes per olive...

    Panasonic RP-HJE900 Zirconia Review

    Quote:   Hi ericp10,  as I indicated in my PM to you, the diameter of the Audeo silicone tips is about 1/3 the size of the 900's nozzle, so getting them on was a b***h!!!  The sibilance is gone, for the most part, but I feel that some of the great highs are also gone and the phone sounds...

    Panasonic CZs (HJE900) Appreciation Thread and Pending Review

    Quote: I bought a ton of them recently because of all the hype and I found them to be way too soft.  The nozzle on the HJE900's is so short that the inner flange tip does not have any support and actually bends or folds inside my ear canal and partially blocks the sound.  Oh well, they...
