    The engineer in me wants to believe that as well and wish it was that cut and dry, but the critical listener in me says otherwise.

    Very nice post! I agree with most of it, especially about the source. You definitely need a brighter source to get the best out of the Quattro. I also have the Earmen Angel and feel it pairs extremely well with them. The other thing I agree with that I have changed my perspective on since I've...

    This is so true! I know that everyone has different preferences and expectations going into a brand new iem with a bunch of hype surrounding it, but I feel like a lot of the really negative takes on the Quattro (monotone bass, no treble, etc.) sound like "off" units to me. Or maybe even...

    Curious, does anyone know of any easy way to replace the nozzle grill for the Serial without damaging the grill itself? I wanna swap it out with another filter but wanna keep the originals intact.

    Yes this is true. I based it off of a Harman-like target. I do prefer a lot more treble (maybe more than normal), but I feel like the Quattro does it very well. And the beauty of EQ is that you can change it to your liking. As someone stated earlier, this is purely my preference.

    Although not a perfect adaptation, it comes pretty darn close. Here's a 10-band version of it. :) | # | Type | Fc (Hz) | Q | Gain (dB) | |-----|---------|-----------|------|-------------| | 1 | Peaking | 33 | 0.4 | 3.7 | | 2 | Peaking | 88 | 0.49| 0.8 | | 3 | Peaking | 222 | 0.8...

    So I've been messing around with some EQ's lately for the Quattro's. Although they sound great with their stock tuning, I wanted to make a few adjustments and try to push the technical chops of these quality drivers. And with some help of AutoEQ and some of my own personal touches, I came up...

    Honestly I think @Dsnuts would be a better bet in telling you which is better. I would assume the first link is the better of the two but I could be wrong. Personally I have a custom silver litz cable made by a friend of mine so it's not something I bought online. But anyway, what are your...

    Quattro is definitely a pleasure to listen to! I'm finding that I'm loving it more and more by the day, even when I had such strong impressions of it out of the box. The timbre is definitely some of the best I've heard. Everything just sounds right on the Quattro. And contrary to whats been...

    Nice! If I had to guess, it would probably be in the kilobuck range, or maybe slightly under.

    Any more info on this? Price? Detailed specs?

    Yes, the Quattro's need a brighter source (ESS DAC) to sound it's best. That's been my experience anyway. A warmer sounding DAC like the Mojo make it sound to too warm and dull. Throw on a good silver cable on it, and it really shines!

    Very intriguing... I might have to check out the 10AE someday... When funds allow. Lol
