With a little help from Oscar-HiFi, I can confirm that the SpinFit CP155 fits the BE perfectly! It's a very welcome upgrade in all facets. (comfort, fit, seal, performance, price) I'm not sure if anyone else has run into this, but my sole reason for swapping out the factory tips in the first...

Thanks!

Nobody knows the size of the BE's nozzle???

Can someone tell me what the correct part number is for SpinFit tips that will fit the BE? I took a guess on the CP100, and the guide tube wasn't even remotely large enough to fit over the BE's giant nozzle. SpinFit's Guide Tube Sizing: CP100: 3.8mm CP100Z: 4.0mm CP145: 4.5mm CP155: 5.5mm

  If this is what your entire point boils down to, then Insidious Meme is correct, we're just going to have to agree to disagree. I know for a fact that I've gained useful information from meet auditions, and you know for a fact that you haven't. End of story.

In fact I did take note of that.   Quote:   Haha, the classic, "I know I'm wrong, he knows I'm wrong, so I'm just going to tell him that he doesn't get it," line. Please, just save yourself the continued embarrassment. It was really never a matter of right or wrong, but a matter of DefCon...

  The bottom line is actually that you can't answer a simple question about your grandiose hypothesis and test. (hence the desperate evasion above) The question still stands:     Wink at least made a legitimate attempt at bailing you out . . . 

  The main reason for speakers being returned is that they literally sound differently than they did in the store due to the room acoustics changing. (VERY important aspect with speakers) Room acoustics play next to no part in headphone performance, therefore your analogy makes zero sense...

  I've clearly TWICE established the fact that I provided the source / recording / material, and if you need an explanation as to why the KS and the LCD2 can't share the same amp, well, there's simply no hope for you. Could Drew have duped everyone by running a modified EQ on their material...

  I follow what you're saying, but the majority of your listed concerns simply weren't issues for me at this meet. Early on in the meet the place was practically dead and not loud whatsoever, so there wasn't ambient noise to combat, nor did I ever feel rushed to come to a conclusion by someone...

  I was joking, hence the emoticon.   (Did you understand that one?) So . . . why, precisely, do you feel meet impressions are, "utterly useless and easily manipulated?" And exactly what kind of test would you have utilized to demonstrate your hypothesis?

  I sincerely hope you're not attempting to insinuate that I'm a "newbie convert." That would be a gross miscalculation.

  I listened to the prototype pair twice during the NYC meet and was impressed both times with direct comparisons against the HE-500 and LCD2, so needless to say I've been very surprised by the strong negative reactions to the audio quality. I have no doubt that MLE's suggestion of a Stax bias...

Quote:   WINNER WINNER CHICKEN DINNER! Thank you very much for the assist, Jason. The instant I powered down my router all I had was a nice pitch black background . . . and my wife yelling from the other room why the internet just died. Time to find a new home for my router . . . thanks...

Yes, that would fall under, "every single piece of equipment." (Source, DAC, amp, tubes, headphones, and all cables)     Quote:   Hi Jason, I did buy the unit new, direct from Schiit, but it was back on 2/22/2013. I'm almost exclusively a speaker guy these days, so it gets very...
