Sony IER-M9 impressions thread
I don't buy into cable making a difference thinking usually but when I switched over to the cable that came with my Fiio Fh7, I did notice clarity and sound stage improved. Maybe it's all in my head, kind of disappointing since I like the stock cable build and material better- Scblacksunshine

Sony IER-M9 impressions thread
Can't say I feel the same. Also just recently joined the IER-M9 and the more I listen to it, I can really appreciate M9's technicality and its presentation. Overall, it's growing on me more and more but I still like my MEST MK2 and it does give a brighter sound signature and wider sound stage. I...- Scblacksunshine

Unique Melody Flagships--Mason & Mentor Announcement and Impression Thread
Looks like UM found Patek's playbook with the Nautilus, with the way they are asking so much more in each iteration of their flagship, no doubt it will catch up to the Nautilus soon enough, all they need is couple of big influencers to shill their product to create that perfect price bubble.- Scblacksunshine

Unique Melody Flagships--Mason & Mentor Announcement and Impression Thread
Another sign of companies know they can just throw a price out there and see what sticks. Might as well try while there's still flood of liquidity out there. The way things are going in China and with the US stock market has been last week and if it holds as a downtrend then this might be the...- Scblacksunshine

Unique Melody MEST Indigo Thanksgiving Exclusive Model
Because some of these IEMs are now consider a luxury item like Swiss watches and every MFG are applying the principle of Veblen good to high end items. Given the time of easy monetary policy, people at the top are flush with loose money, MFG know they can get away with it so why wouldn't they...- Scblacksunshine

Unique Melody MEST Indigo Thanksgiving Exclusive Model
Easy answer to that, looks like this industry has taken a page out of the swiss watch industry and just upping the price and see when consumers will tap out then dial it back just a little. Sadly though with loose monetary policy, plenty of people are flush with money so this trend is not going...- Scblacksunshine

Effect Audio launches the Axiom IEM
Signs of the time we live in...thanks Apple and Samsung. I find this statement pretty funny...how about you include a better cable with this kind of pricing? I understand if this is a $50 IEM, people might be incline to throw away the stock cable but at $1.5k or $2.5k I honestly doubt anyone...- Scblacksunshine

Mind sharing where you got the cable from? So far the only low price pure silver cable I found is the Fiios cable but it doesn't come in 2pins flavor.- Scblacksunshine

Thanks for the tips, I'll give that a try and see if it helps. Did tried invisible tape on the connector and that seems to help as well.- Scblacksunshine

Luxury & Precision (LP) Portable USB DAC/AMP W1 and W2 (The new W2-131 Version is Available, Related Info on Post #1)
Anyone else experienced issues with the USB C connector on the unit itself. After about 3 months, my unit is now extra sensitive to any movement and would disconnect often. Tried it with different USB C cables and still doing the same thing. The stock white USB C cable was just plain horrible...- Scblacksunshine

Got my W2 today, so far digging it with the MEST MkII. Just for giggles, tried it with my HD800S, yeah no go there. Not a surprise though, not expecting a non-external battery dongle to power a 300ohm headphones. With the MEST on high gain, great detail retrievals and sound stage, think it's...- Scblacksunshine

Unique Melody Bone Conduction Family (MEST&MEXT and their siblings) Announcement and Impression Thread.
Well that sucks, I literally just bought these about 20 days ago. Guess I should've waited, emailed them and see if they are willing to price watch the difference since I didn't buy them that long ago.- Scblacksunshine
