Three Brand New Earphones: Sony IER-Z1R, IER-M9 and IER-M7
Amen, brother. You put my impressions into words better than I could ever do :thumbs up: The sound of the M9, for want of a better word, has presence. The level of detail retrieval is as you put it, insane. If it's in the recording, you're going to hear it. I was extremely fortunate in that I...- dscans

Three Brand New Earphones: Sony IER-Z1R, IER-M9 and IER-M7
Some photos: ^^ Nice selection of tips ^^ IER-M7 on the left, IER-M9 on the right. I like the finish on the IER-M9 better - matte black with a textured, sand-stone like finish. The carbon fiber face plate is also a nice touch.- dscans

SONY NW-WM1Z / WM1A
I have very good experience with the Sony Kimber balanced cable (the MUC-M12SB1). I first tried it on the Westone UMPro30, and it impressed me sufficiently that I got another 3 (!) for all my IEMS with the MMCX connector - the Pinnacle P1, the Campfire Audio Jupiter, the AK T8ie Mk II & the...- dscans

Reply to review by 'dscans' on item 'SONY digital audio player Walkman NW-WM1Z N (Gold)'
Thank you for well written and insightful review. Having listened to both the 1A & 1Z, I very much preferred the sound of the 1A: clean, precise, and very nicely balanced (to my ears, anyway). The 1Z sounds overwhelmingly lush in comparison. The weight of the 1Z is also pretty surprising, and...- dscans

Clear Cowon Jelly Case has Yellow Tint
From my experience, most so-called "clear" cases turn yellow after a period of time, quicker if exposed to sunlight. The J3 has been out for some time, could it be that the retailer has that case for some time before the sale?- dscans

Cowon D3 Plenue. Review. With Photos.
Well, I just got my D3, and suffice to say, my experiences have been mixed. Firstly, yeah, it's slow right after bootup. I have an Android phone, and it has that same lag right after you turn it on. My guess is that Android does all that "house-keeping" stuff, like syncing, checking for updates...- dscans

Unique Melody Remold Impressions Thread
My remolded TF10 Pro Quad (with the addition of a mid driver) Build quality was excellent. The fit was also very good....slips into the ear like butter and the seal and isolation was fantastic. UM is also pretty flexible when it comes to colours. You can choose different colours...- dscans
