I don't really use the CMOY much with the DBAs, but I use the gain on the T3 with the DBAs, sometimes. But I will check out the bass boost on the DBAs and see if I like it or not. The DBAs are fine bass-wise for me, but they are very EQable.

Yeah, seem like specialty phones. Thanks KLH.

Definitely interested, and in no hurry. I love the Fischer Audio DBA-02 universals ($160), more than all the top-tier IEMs I have owned, and that's alot, but I figured the only way I will go on the $400+ spending spree again is with customs. Your comments caught my eye (your original JH5...

Well, here in the US the W2 is considerably more than the PFEs. But I owned both, and they are very different. I felt the PFEs performed best with an amp, but with the new green filters (bass boost), that may no longer be an issue. I would say the PFEs are excellent, and the W2s not worth the...

Okay, now I am intrigued. I am thinking of JH5s, but want to hear your views on the 13s since you both have and love the 5s. I thought you said the difference was minimal pizzafilms.

Yes, I had the Sony X with the DBAs, but ended up selling the X because I thought it was overpriced and liked the Cowon J3 more. Now, I no longer have the J3, but borrowed a friend's A818 and the DBAs do sound very good with the Sony warmth (and if the bass isn't enough for you, a single click...

I have UM56s tips, black Otoblast (will post photos) but strangely enough, while I had them made for the UM3Xs when I had them, they never were very comfy with this phones, and it's because the driver body bumped my ears (no longer fit snug inside my ear cavity. Same when I used the UM56s with...

T3 works well, but I also picked up a $79 CMOY mint tin on ebay (JDS Labs is the manufacturer/seller) and it has a nice bass boost switch and sounds very very good for the money. Of course, it's clunky compared to the T3, but glad to have both.   Quote:

I see they are $295. Pretty steep. Worth it? Start a thread.

Talking custom sleeves via ACS for Etys (it's available via Ety). I would be interested in reshelling the DBAs too, but it seems a bit risky. I had hard acrylic done with my TF10s at Fisher and they came out very nice. My only issue was I used an old pair of custom sleeves (scanned by Fisher)...

What about the Ety foamies? Squish them and they seal really well.

I have some here, and they fit. I can try them on the HF-2s later, if you want. I have the short ones, or the thin ones, can't remember. But they will fit on the Ety nozzles, but now sure of the sound.

You mean the Shure olives? I don't think they have very large openings, so they should not effect the treble, in terms of making it more pronounced. In fact, with the narrow Ety sound tube, no tips will have really wide openings, compared to canalphones/dynamics, for example. I am not sure, but...

The Westone UM56s are also soft silicone (the ones I have, called Otoblast) and they are an excellent match with my HF-2s.
