The Watercooler-- Impressions, philosophical discussion and general banter. Index on first page. All welcome.
Just imagine... years of community feedback, all addressed on one IEM. Yes... that means no hot upper mids but lovely, on-point, lower treble with upper treble extension. Your hope is warranted. There's no way they can just let that thing die in Dean's closet. It was incredible.- CL14715

Well yes, but I have to take some EE secrets to the grave 😜. Just went up to NC and took the blue ridge parkway up to mount mitchell. It’s the tallest point on the east coast so it was pretty surreal.- CL14715
