    Chinese / Asian Brand IEM Info Thread

    Sorry to hear that man.. I didn't get the F bombs but it must have been frustrating on top of the issues you are dealing with. Wish I had done research on these guys before going through with it. I hope you don't ever receive a faulty product from them. As mentioned above. If the product...

    I agree with you. If nothing was wrong it'll have been a good experience. That's what separates the good from the bad, though. The ability to count on them when **** doesn't go according to plan. No one wants to receive a faulty one but when it occurs good sellers don't try to cheat folks. I've...

    Chinese / Asian Brand IEM Info Thread

    Wow. Wish I saw those reports earlier. I put in the gist of the conversation here. I just browsed through their feedback and they basically swore at another buyer. Anyways just don't buy from hot fi. Not worth your troubles. https://m.imgur.com/4U35LV9,RcONFr1,P3HfbzU

    Not this one. He's laughing in his reply to me now because he got away with it. He intended to trick me and waited for the protection period to go out. I buy on AliExpress alot so not all of them are bad which is why I didn't think I would get tricked in resolution. Lesson learnt make sure you...

    What happened was the cable of the iem I received was faulty. The mmcx connection is dodgy so I lose sound every now and then. I applied for a partial dispute to buy replacement connectors but he said he would send me a replacement cable so I would cancel the dispute. From there he gave a...

    Sharing another seller on AliExpress to avoid. Do not buy from Hotfi earphone and headphone. He gave a fake tracking code until the protection time had run out. Disappointing the way these guys operate.

    The Stax Thread III

      May not exactly be your point but I've found the 007s need to hit a certain volume to really be foot tapping. While on the Lambdas... I do think the SR-202s is THE value buy. It is wonderful in making music - I haven't found the newer models to better really. It hardly gets any head time...

      Okay... I just wanted to address the tube vs ss generalization, that's all. :) For my Mk1... moving from the KGSSHV to the megatron, the big change for me was how holographic and involving the tube amp was, and that gain is offset by losing a bit of the bass "slam" that I got used to from the...

      I'd be careful with generalizations like that. Tubes (well designed and executed) don't automatically mean a warm sound. From my experience, the stuff that comes out of Kevin's schematics definitely don't steer that way.

    AudioValve LUMINARE & VERTO : for Stax headphones and for all dynamic headphones

      Pot calling the kettle black much?   Funny, all I see is you proclaiming anything sold in that French forum as being the absolute best for Stax headphones - and you've admitted to only listening to a few Stax amps, Electra and the RKV. So you're still going to insist that the newly...

      It's been awhile since I heard the 507 or 009 (both on normal Stax amps), but I seem to recall fairly significant differences in sound stage. What music/files are you listening to?   If you can't appreciate the difference I'm sure your wallet would be happy (and thankful!) :)

      I'm starting to get it wink (no pun intended )    I won't block him... I just won't respond... I'll just have to trust myself with that

    Ok I don't intend to get into a discussion with someone who isn't listening.   So far, you've just proven everything that I've said. You're doing things zealously and with a DMM and a microphone (have you seen the stuff arnaud models with a simulated head/listening test environment?). Really...

      I guess you don't get the point I was trying to make on pro bono. Anyways I've said my piece. Carry on doing what you want to do.   In terms of measurements... for amplifiers it's mainly to do with a scope... or something that lets you chart out freq response effectively. I don't think I've...

      Well... look at it this way. If you think something is good you want it to do well. What do you think is happening with the way you're approaching this now? Don't you see that you're potentially harming RKV more than you're helping it?   You're basically yelling at a group of folks who have...
