the temptation to send in the um3x is strong but the downside is that if the signature comes back drastically altered then you're pretty stuck with it.

possibly the fault of the N91 instead of the nuforce, or both are equally guilty. I am not sure if pairing N91 to UM3X is such a good idea. Also, listening to better recorded material like well mastered old records will yield gains surpassing changing daps or amps. I think people seldom give...

AFAIK, clip ons and on-ears generally don't isolate much. IEMs and closed cans are pretty much the only things that isolate decently. and since you use them for running, closed cans are more or less out. you're looking at headphones only so iems are out too.. hmm. my honest suggestion to...

skip them. 1. creative doesn't cover wear and tear with warranty. 2. strain relief on cables is non existent. 3. fails within 6-9 months of purchase. 4. overpriced for a single b.a that is so badly tuned. 5. there are many other iems way better than it at/below its retail price point.

I understand you. My concern is that when you mention the mid driver takes the mids etc. Quote: Originally Posted by MaoDi That is when the mid-range driver comes in, the mid driver now takes all the mids the tweeter and woofers had to do and take it all for itself, so not the high...

Quote: Originally Posted by MaoDi That would have to be up to your thinking. Adding an driver meaning to the Tf10, UM2, or SF5 means that it will no longer have a 2-way crossover, but a three. Splitting the job to more drivers, and lowering the load on each driver so each is able to...

cowon. wow. more fw updates rox. the new useful reverb option can actually physically reconstruct the distance between the source of music and the listener. From in your face to 0.5km outside the stadium. with realistic echo.

Wow. I'm slightly off-footed by your comment. I was of the impression that universals had come to more or less of a plateau. Seems that i'm greatly mistaken. But Compact Monitors don't do universals for sale right? or is it possible to pay them to keep the demos?

@TS Seeing the fact that an JH13-Stage3 shootout is unlikely, would you like to comment on UM3X against the Stage 3 universal demo? If you were forced at gunpoint to choose one over the other, which would it be?
