I probably should add that I mostly listen to Classical, Jazz and some Rock/Metal. And these Xears Revolution replaced my previous go-to IEM's - Radiopaq Classical (they were nice too, but their build quality was even worse, I was totally disgusted by the need to constantly re-glue one of the...

Well, all these QC issues are becoming REALLY annoying. Yesterday, after 9 months of pretty careful in-door use I somehow lost the metal anti-wax grid on my left channel Revolution IEM (I got the Purple Edition at a reduced price from the official Xears eBay shop). I'm not even sure how could it...

Dsnuts,   Thank you for the response. Of course, there's no rush, and I actually already have too many phones (a half of them not in use) to buy another pair (instead of new music), but a new analitical/balanced IEM under $30 would be nice as a secondary/spare set, esp. if it does both rock...

Well, after you'd dethroned TT as THE supposed IEM king under $100, could you tell me how much worse is it compared to CKM50? I live in Europe and, while I strongly prefer the AT's sound signature (I have ATH-M50), I can't take the advantage of the current Amazon sale - the total price incl. the...

Audio-Technica ATH-M50.

BTW, in another LD I+ thread LT1364 was considered too dangerous because of its high DC offset - it can 'cook' your headphones, so LM4562 (same as LME49720) and OPA2107 are more safe options.

intoart, I have several cans (and still want some more) and LD I+ could not do its best with all of them. With particular cans and recordings I prefer more straightforward/narrow/fair SS output of my soundcard or (rarely) old Pioneer receiver. But it's so called sinergy that stops me from any...

Just some thoughts on my current configuration. The best I've got yet is EF92 Mullards + Burr-Brown OPA2107. This opamp added resolution AND some kind of smoothness at the same time. One of my test CDs is the latest Nightwish (I'm not a fan, actually, I just like it as a nice product). It's a...

Hi there. I got my amp in October and recently got a pair of NOS EF92 by Mullard from a 100% trusted eBay seller for just 6 (!) bucks incl. shipping from UK to continental Europe. It seems to be a 'new logo' industrial, not military, variety, but considering the price... Both tubes work...
