    Home-Made IEMs

    I've said it before, I'll say it again. Resin obsession dyes are made for this. they are a little more expensive, but they mix PERFECTLY, leave your fotoplast transparent, and do not hinder curing. I highly recommend you try them even if you only grab one color, you WILL be pleased with the...

    Home-Made IEMs

    I'm looking for a sort of guide on what areas to build up with lak3 to ensure a good tight seal. Are there specific areas that you'd build up more than others on a piece that may be having sealing issues? Also, when doing buildup of certain areas, how do you ensure that the IEM still has a...

    Hey guys, I've been searching for a post on where to build up the IEM to get a good seal. I believe the author was Forcemajeure but I could be wrong. Its driving me nuts, and I've been searching for days.

    Thanks for the detailed write up! When you say Chinese IEC711 like coupler, what product are you referring to? If it’s not much more I’d love to take a look!

    https://imgur.com/a/STbSYWf#pHlqj2i set of customs that I finished for a friend yesterday. Pretty excited with how they turned out. Still having a hard time making my sound holes pretty. I just hate the way that the tubing shows up in front and doesn't look like it blends with the rest of...

    I'll toss one up when I get home. Though I think I may not have stripped the litz well on this driver and may have just "tinned" the covering if that makes sense. for some reason I thought the wire was exposed, but I'm pretty sure that was a silly thought. I used a thicker wire on my last few...

    Home-Made IEMs

    Hey, guys. Never run into this before, but I've got a set of GVs that I'm wiring up for a friend's set. Everything seems normal. TWFK is on the left side and I'm soldering them onto MMCX connectors (first time using). With MMCX you do positive lead to the center post and the second to one of...

    I have been using resin obsession with awesome results. They are resin based so they mix perfectly and they yield consistent and beautiful color. Their ebay shop can be found here: https://www.ebay.com/usr/resinobsession?_trksid=p2047675.l2559

    Home-Made IEMs

    During one of my ramblings a c worker told me that The wizard's creations looked a lot like nail art done via "Water marble". This got me thinking and looking around at how to do hydro dipping. I figured that as long as you do a little sanding to get the overall size of the IEM down, you might...

    You might be able to use hydrogen peroxide to soften it. My only concern is that it would bubble, and I'm not sure how well your BA drivers would like that. You might be able to just swab it with a q tip with a bit on there though.

    Where would you guys recommend buying cabling for a DIY project? I want to start making home made cables for my CIEM projects.

    these are the first two pairs that I've finished. Enormous thank you to everyone who has contributed to this thread for the last few years and have given such an immense amount of learning (and reading).

    I Don't think there would be any issues. when I shoved them in my ears (the best I could since they are someone elses) they sounded spectacular. after posting I pulled the PDF back up and tentatively came to that conclusion, but it brings immense comfort to hear someone confirm it. Thanks!

    CRUD!!! I JUST REALIZED THAT I MAY HAVE WIRED MY GV'S INCORRECTLY. I wired them left and right bottom solder pads if the TWFK is on the top of the HODVTEC. When I put them in my ears, I thought I was getting full sound, but it looks like the TWFK is supposed to be on the left. Did I goof up...
