iBasso IT01 a fun IEM. Single multilayered graphene driver. !! 99 USD !!
Anyone experimented with using spacers on the nozzle? I used the silver spacers from old Dunu 1k with the large wide bore tips and am hearing a marked improvement in the mids. Vocals and mids sound a lot warmer with more dimension. They did sound congested and thin to me at first but now it's a...- delmonte

Recommendations to Replace ATH-IM70
Just got my IT01s today and I think they're great! Quite good detail and separation, pretty natural, warm, and "fun" sound... the bass is just amazing. Even more depth and sub-bass rumble to my ears than what I remember from my IM70s but without the bloat and mids-contamination. Nice build...- delmonte

Recommendations to Replace ATH-IM70
Meaning that they're just not as good. But I'm leaning towards ibasso IT01 right now...they seem to get the most consistent good reviews from all those options.- delmonte

Recommendations to Replace ATH-IM70
Now looking also at the CH9T, ibasso IT01, and Fiio F9 even though it's a hybrid. Someone on the F9 thread said E40 can't keep up with them....thoughts?- delmonte

Recommendations to Replace ATH-IM70
I just lost my ATH-IM70 which I really liked, and looking to replace in around the same price range ($100). Looking at the E40 as an option and haven't found many comparisons between the two. I liked the sound signature of the IM70 but wouldn't mind something a bit cleaner/less congested, which...- delmonte

Dunu DN-1000 - Dunu's hybrid IEM - Impressions thread
Can anyone compare the DN1000 to the Titan 5? The 1000 are $30 more expensive but some people have said the T5 is an upgrade... better quality bass, more clarity. Is this true? I find it hard to believe that a single dynamic would have better quality and clarity than a hybrid. In any case can...- delmonte

Introducing Trinity Audio Engineering
Can anyone comment on how the Deltas perform with classical music? Strongly considering preordering the v2 but right now it's still between these, Dunu DN1k, and RE-600 so if anyone can comment on all three, especially with classical music I would appreciate it. Also, does anyone know when...- delmonte

Recommendations for CLASSICAL IEM $100-$150
Hi, I would really appreciate some suggestions for an IEM that works really well with classical music, and can be good with other stuff as well. I listen to mostly classical, though, so that is definitely the most important. A lot of symphonies, chamber music (string quartets), piano, etc., so...- delmonte

Audio Technica ATH-IM70: A Bold New Direction
I'm using medium tips from FXT90s. I tried the complys (not bad), Sony Hybrids, and a different brand of tips I found in France but the JVC medium gave me the best comfort and sound. The E6 improves the sound quite a bit already and I'm pretty sure these headphones are designed to be used...- delmonte

Audio Technica ATH-IM70: A Bold New Direction
So I finally got a chance to do a brief comparison with JVC FXT90s and I want to give my impressions. I owned the FXT90s for about 2 years, loved them very much, then lost them and replaced them with the IM70. My first impressions of the IM70 were pretty negative, based as a comparison of my...- delmonte

Audio Technica ATH-IM70: A Bold New Direction
Check out the awesome bass rumble on these from the organ and deep voices. http://youtu.be/r4WlNj1TTqA Throughout the whole album, but especially in the first two tracks and then the last one, particularly the last 10 minutes or so.- delmonte
