    Empire Ears - Discussion & Impressions (Formerly EarWerkz)

    All I can say is, EE being a sponsor of headfi, the banhammer to silence users questioning EE, or mass delete option because it is deemed to contravene the forum rules (which as far as what I can see, it doesn't) , will hopefully not be used to cover this up without a settlement or explanation...

    Empire Ears - Discussion & Impressions (Formerly EarWerkz)

    Nice, so apparently Rome can indeed be built in one day, or in this case two months lol. But while we are on the topic of gratitude and humility, the recent posts about the phantom is interesting to say the least. But, like everyone here, we believe in listening to what the Empire crew has to...

    Empire Ears - Discussion & Impressions (Formerly EarWerkz)

    Personally, I stand with the side that burn in does change the sound, but not a night/day difference. It certainly wont make a bass monster stop being a bass monster. However, I also recognize that my impressions are at odds with the general consensus of the community, but then again I'm not a...

    Empire Ears - Discussion & Impressions (Formerly EarWerkz)

    I really dont think thats possible, because as @Deezel177 pointed out back then, most of the prominent ciem makers themselves confirmed that burn in does not exist. i suspect that its more of a brain-burn in issue, leading to a change in perception rather than an actual difference in sound. It...

    The Official 64 Audio Thread | apex & tia Technologies

    Oh dear that’s unfortunate. If I may be so bold as to enquire, what happened to it? I usually keep my stock cables around as it represents the true tuning as intended by the designer. Did you change the cable by any chance. I have a Friend who has a stock EE cable that he intends to use to burn...

    Hi Lesmana. Sorry but maybe I didn’t make myself clear which is why you might have thought I wanted a comparison between the EA lion heart to a stock plastics1 cable. I never thought that for once to compare the two given the price distance, but then I’m honestly surprised that you would think...

    I think we already moved past that a long time ago, given that single dynamics DITA and drivers like the warbler are already making waves. However, how does the n8t compare against the phantom in your opinion? After all, the n8t was tuned as a collaboration between 64 and Nathan East who is a...

    The Official 64 Audio Thread | apex & tia Technologies

    Hi. Thats interesting. In what way did you find it an improvement over the common plastics one stock cable? Sometime back Jack Vang made a reference about companies "throwing a upcharge or packing in some massed produce junk and labeling it as “premium” " while promoting EE's collaboration with...

    I agree, and now on hindsight I wish I had stuck with the Legend R instead of sidegrading to the Omega lol. Really lol. I thought most of audio is all about exaggerations, especially the reviews and its superfluous writing making it sound like the second coming of christ without a single...

    Empire Ears - Discussion & Impressions (Formerly EarWerkz)

    I didnt say that the issue was that it was bass heavy, rather that the excessive emphasis on it neglected the other sound range, which is a no no in any logical design. Its like throwing a downhill bike fork onto a bike but forgetting that the other components needs to be tuned in taking that...

    noted. Thanks for confirming my suspicions about the legend X tuning. Strangely enough the shop proprietor also said that the excessive bass could be fixed with the horus, which it did. With a brighter cable the legend X stopped sounding like a disco club bass speaker. Like you, I felt that the...

    Empire Ears - Discussion & Impressions (Formerly EarWerkz)

    Congrats too on the cable and iem. But just curious, as to why you decided not to stick with the stock cable and paired it with the horus? Coincidentally when I was demoing the Legend X, the shop proprietor suggested the exact same set up. They recommended that I swapped out the stock cable and...

    Empire Ears - Discussion & Impressions (Formerly EarWerkz)

    Wow. Just sa Well, I find that the staging of the Phantom's being large is mainly due to a sub bass that does rumble a little more than it feel it should in a reference iem, and hence giving an impression of a larger staging that it really has. But then again, what I did hear was a Phantom...
