Are the dt 1770 better then HD800? I'm so torn between what to get!

  Ahhhh! didnt know that, yes i have 901, thanks for confirming!

Sorry for late reply to those that answered my query on differences between SE846 and K10, thank you!!....understandable if Noble won't go through with black Friday deal this year...I'm fine with the se846 for now, but as soon as the deal comes available, in the checkout basket the k10 goes, i'm...

hehe I think it does boil down to taste aswell, also the style of music would be a massive deciding factor - electronic, dubstep, trance just sounds flat out amazing with the se846!! Ashame about the cable, you got a spare stock cable around?

 Rich, I heard the glue dots are good to use (was mentioned here some pages back)

hey, dunno if i entirely agree with you, ironically what your saying is that hes flat out ignoring me based on that my question has no relevance?  Speculation ofcourse, but if so that is actually quite rude of him! Even a simple reply with 'No, sorry i dont have any experience with Whiplash...

I had asked him some questions about the stock/whiplash cable, no point now as i no longer have the ref 1, just felt like i had spent a fortune on his iem, and he just dropped off the radar! I'm sure he's busy with other stuff, but little things like this will get to me a little :) no worries...

thanks man!   I knew i needed the se846 when Warrior1975 kindly loaned me his set, just seriously was like WOW, so much clearer then Ref 1's, the bass is ALOT better defined, mids are are upfront and lush (ref 1 is recessed a little). Ref 1 sounds a little bloated and not as clear, a little...

Hey man!   im glad he's alive and well, however being alive and well wouldn't take much to show a little email courtesy, have you spoken to Gavin recently?

So reading behind a few pages (and warrior1975 mentioned to me) about the black filter mod, which I tried with my black filters today. Real easy taking out the little pieces of foam! The high end is extended dramatically which surprised me whilst retaining the bottom end (seems deeper as well)...

A very thorough review! thanks :)

Hmmm has he made a better iem then Ref 1 so soon?

Cool, i have placed an order for the TWau reference gold plated, hopefully should arrive soon...will be posting my thoughts after serious listening

  That's true, however, I cant help but feel I'm losing out on perfect seal without going custom. In any event whether I would sell the ref 1's or not if I do go custom i'm not sure at this point. But there is a London show happening in november which I'll most likely attend and try out...

 Still love the sound of the Ref 1, but looking into maybe going custom soon, preferably from a vendor in my region.

Have placed my order for the TWau reference Gold Plated the other day, :D  can't wait to receive it! Uber cable interests me but way too expensive, for me atleast.

Will this pair nicely with the Tralucent Ref 1??? Very interested! The twag v3 & twcu v3 hybrid might be a better option for iem's? I also use the Hifiman hm901 with iem amp card, not up on my homework with balanced connections etc. any info is appreciated :)

Unfortunately there is no sound on the left side of my Ref 1, I believe it to be the cable, if I wiggle the 3.5 jack the sound will come back for a few seconds then cuts out again. Have contacted Gavin, see what will happen now... UPDATE: Gavin having a replacement cable sent, should receive...

Great article, further convinces me of burn in. Although I'll agree that it may only be evident on certain types of iem/headphones (which flymetothemoon describes below) I only wish I had the know how to conduct tests myself. My ref 1's sound nothing like how they were out of the box, or...

Burn in for me is deffintly real, whether it's a load of nonsense doesn't really matter, if it's only my brain adjusting then that's cool, for my belief system I think it's down to burn in, I suppose brain and burn in believers will reach the same results anyway :D. I'll go on to say that...

Thx man :) I havent heard the 1Plus2's, very interesting to know that, in a way I think if the treble was any brighter it may cause fatigue over a long session, Ref 1 can be left in my ears all day long. But without listening to the 1Plus2  I couldnt say if I would prefer them, perhaps one day...

Extremely helpful! Works perfect :)   Thanks!!

Hey, hope anyone can answer, but is there a way to convert DSF files to DSD? I tried loading some on the Hifiman hm 901 but seems like DSF is not supported.

No fun, on checkout it notifies me I can't purchase it from outside the USA, very frustrating!
