Hi Matt and welcome! thanks for your explanation, I thought it was a kind of design feature. Sockets are fine - no obvious play while cable is unattached. As the cable is attached and I slightly press on the cable connector as leveler, the socket with 2 pins inside the earpiece would slightly...

After 1 year of very careful and indoor only use of my u12t I very much to my surprise noticed that both sockets have some play (wobble) within the aluminum shell – more pronounced in one earpiece than in the other. The pins sit in the sockets solid – no complains here. As to the sockets wobble...

Just checked the dx320 thread with all these ravings about the sound getting worse in the latest firmwares. Seems that OG firmware delivered the best sound, the updates have somehow weird upper mids and treble (harsh, elevated etc). I wonder if it is the case with dx300. Any sound deviations...

I believe, the feedback from the HFers, who paid their own money for the product. cema is more or less "safe" and predictable producer. He has been present since several years, has a vast track record on HF and on my local forum. At least you know what to expect. I myself have one cema cable...

In a pile of totl daps, emerging like once per month and bumping another 500-1000 to price tag, old good LPGT with its renowned natural-smooth sound becomes more than attractive option on secondary market. The only concern could be the proprietary UI, with its limits compared to android uapp...

Sometimes these are exactly the words that must be said in the context to a specific iem. Several iems occur to my mind, which back in the days were reviewed by renowned web-sites and local head-fiers. Once I had a chance to test them locally, well yeah, these are exactly the only words that I...

Visually it is the same. Same blue/dark blue and copper/white pattern. As to the material, you have no choice but to trust (or not to trust) the honest word of the noble Chinese gentleman. If you take at face value any BS which Ali sellers feed in their product description, well yeah, best of...

I hope I am not spoiling your party, but the fancy box and pouch are not worth a rat’s ass. The set of hardware looks like a typical Chinese oem and cost 15 usd – already with hiclass price markup...

Speaking of hiclass, there are several nice options in 2-core design available at the market: Cema Pipa ~300 usd https://aliexpress.ru/item/1005002058647720.html?sku_id=12000018589599512&spm=a2g0o.store_pc_home.productList_48890756.pic_19 several hiclass offers for 200 usd...

I believe it was not a kind of “bright” sound. The female vocals sounded distorted and grainy – fully unlistenable. I suppose, it is general knowledge that wm1a/z are not enough to drive z1r. n6ii E02 has sufficient output power but maybe don’t have sufficient current. I still try to...

Had a very weird experience of z1r paired with my n6ii E02. Putting aside the somehow recessed mids and occasionally hot treble, the female vocals sounded harsh (grainy, coarse, distorted, sibiliant). I know that z1r are power hungry but wouldn’t think that THAT much. The pairing is totally...

That’s great and looking forward to your impression of u18s vs Indigo.

What source do you use? And may I ask you to provide short comparison between Indigo on PWA FT vs Indigo on stock cable?

Hey, thanks, great impression overall. Wispy, fragile, ethereal, thinnish – these are the definitions applicable to Traillii by HF fellow members and not what I would like to have. The other two important points are the natural timber (Traillii seem to be the master in that) and non-fatiguing...

*Cross-post from Fusang Red thread. I suppose, here the question would suit better. Does anybody have an experience with both the Traillii and Indigo? If so, a short comparison would be much appreciated.
