Monoprice Monolith AMT Headphones
I agree with @Fibre101 here in that the AMT's are light in the sub bass, it's one of the reasons I sold my set not long after getting them. And I also agree that planars are able to go much lower and hit much harder than the AMT's. I tried using both physical and sofware based EQ and before the...- OldDude04

IMR Audio : Sonic Adventures & Impressions
I didn't buy an Enigma so I don't really have any skin in this game, but I kind of disagree with you here. I feel like it's almost a slap in the face to those IMR customers that paid a hefty price for their Enigmas and waited through all the bull:poop: stories, only to have Bob slash the prices...- OldDude04

IMR Audio : Sonic Adventures & Impressions
I ended up preferring the open on all the IMR's I've owned that have had the option. I also prefer open back headphones so maybe that has something to do with it?- OldDude04

IMR Audio : Sonic Adventures & Impressions
I'm not sure what Bob's intended sound profiles were for the open and closed back options, but what I heard was similar to what @Zeppmeister said. When open I hear a more spacious and clear presentation that I enjoy, with a slight decrease in the lows. So I just EQ a bit of lows back and I get...- OldDude04

I heard the differences between open and closed on my R1 Zenith, and my Opus Mias as well when I had them. So maybe the Enigma open is more than snake oil.- OldDude04

I'm curious as well. If you do some resistance testing, post up your results. I'm glad you're digging the Scarlets. They really do take some juice. I have to go to 90 on my M11, which is higher than any of my other IEMs. Totally worth it though.- OldDude04

@jerick70 So, now that you've had 5 minutes with them, what is your initial take on the Scarlets? Lol- OldDude04

It really is a good looking cable and the color matches the Melodys perfectly.- OldDude04

That sucks bro. You could go to Harbor Freight and grab a set of THESE picks. I'm sure one could help to get the remaining piece out and save you some time and money.- OldDude04

Wow, $9 for that cable is crazy good. Can't go wrong at that price.- OldDude04

The cable? It's nice and pliable, doesn't have a bunch of memory from being wound up in a case, and sounds exactly the same as the red upgrade cable that comes with the FATFreq Scarlets. But that stock cable is stiff and less usable imo.- OldDude04

I'm stoked for you bro. I'm digging the Scarlets more now than the day I got them. I loved the idea of the red cable on the IEM, but I just didn't love the stock one so I ended up getting a red one that @Podster had talked about a couple weeks back. Much more pliable and sounds exactly the...- OldDude04

Isn't that exactly the way this hobby goes? Buy something, start enjoying it and damn if something new doesn't come out a week or two later, lol.- OldDude04
