Oriolus Szalayi IEM discussion thread
Waited to see if Musictek would put the Szalayi on sale for BF and it paid off, just ordered them at a good discount. I've been enjoying the heck out of my Tri i3 Pros, however, I can't resist seeing what a purportedly higher quality version of the same concept is like.- PirateFreder

Comment by 'PirateFreder' on listing 'UM MEST Indigo'
Cool, I am. I'm curious about the condition being listed as "Good" rather than "Excellent/Like new", I didn't notice any flaws in the pictures. Is there damage or an issue?- PirateFreder

TRI earphone impressions - I4 and I3, Starlight, NEW Starsea
Good idea, poking one hole per side does help. It still gets bad when I move my head and takes too long to go away. I'm gonna experiment with more holes as well as order foam tips. That does work, unfortunately the pressure comes back the next time I move my head 😔. Between this and poking...- PirateFreder

TRI earphone impressions - I4 and I3, Starlight, NEW Starsea
Have any of you had pressure issues with the i3 Pro? It feels like the vent isn't working right, when I put them in there's a delay for the pressure to release and everything is muted for a few seconds. I also noticed that, when I turn my head or look down, I get the same feeling. If I look up I...- PirateFreder

Aww, I got so excited because I was just saying that I'd buy one of these if a good deal came up. Is there any way I could convince you to ship to the USA? Say if I pay the additional shipping cost?- PirateFreder

Advice/recs on portable DAC/amp
I didn't realize just how compact those are!! I had looked at the BTR7 as well as the Earmen Colibri and both seem like excellent options. I might grab something smaller like that in the future, if I find myself often using something that takes less power, right now I'm looking to get something...- PirateFreder

Advice/recs on portable DAC/amp
Ah ok, I wasn't aware of that. I wasn't even sure if the EQ on a phone was able to alter the stream when it was running out to a DAC over USB. Well thankfully I'm not crazy about EQ, it's just a good tool to have in the arsenal and I was thinking about retaining the precision that Poweramp...- PirateFreder

Advice/recs on portable DAC/amp
I'm about to buy my first DAC/amp and wanna make sure I haven't overlooked anything. I'm a nomad so I'm after the best all-rounder as my one and only. -comfortably pocketable -battery powered -plenty of power for demanding tribrid IEMs or headphones if I decide to go back to them -ideally it...- PirateFreder

The CIEM Experience/What to Expect/Differences
That looks like a game changer, thanks for sharing that! The only potential downsides I can see would be that they make the iem sit farther out(if one cares) and I wonder how bone conduction would work through them, I'd imagine they would dampen it. Have you noticed any effect on sound with them?- PirateFreder
