    Three Brand New Earphones: Sony IER-Z1R, IER-M9 and IER-M7

    Amen, brother. You put my impressions into words better than I could ever do :thumbs up: The sound of the M9, for want of a better word, has presence. The level of detail retrieval is as you put it, insane. If it's in the recording, you're going to hear it. I was extremely fortunate in that I...

    Three Brand New Earphones: Sony IER-Z1R, IER-M9 and IER-M7

    Some photos: ^^ Nice selection of tips ^^ IER-M7 on the left, IER-M9 on the right. I like the finish on the IER-M9 better - matte black with a textured, sand-stone like finish. The carbon fiber face plate is also a nice touch.

    SONY NW-WM1Z / WM1A

      I have very good experience with the Sony Kimber balanced cable (the MUC-M12SB1). I first tried it on the Westone UMPro30, and it impressed me sufficiently that I got another 3 (!) for all my IEMS with the MMCX connector - the Pinnacle P1, the Campfire Audio Jupiter, the AK T8ie Mk II & the...

    Reply to review by 'dscans' on item 'SONY digital audio player Walkman NW-WM1Z N (Gold)'

    Thank you for well written and insightful review. Having listened to both the 1A & 1Z, I very much preferred the sound of the 1A: clean, precise, and very nicely balanced (to my ears, anyway). The 1Z sounds overwhelmingly lush in comparison. The weight of the 1Z is also pretty surprising, and...

    Clear Cowon Jelly Case has Yellow Tint

    From my experience, most so-called "clear" cases turn yellow after a period of time, quicker if exposed to sunlight. The J3 has been out for some time, could it be that the retailer has that case for some time before the sale?

    Cowon D3 Plenue. Review. With Photos.

    Well, I just got my D3, and suffice to say, my experiences have been mixed. Firstly, yeah, it's slow right after bootup. I have an Android phone, and it has that same lag right after you turn it on. My guess is that Android does all that "house-keeping" stuff, like syncing, checking for updates...

    My remolded TF10 Pro Quad (with the addition of a mid driver) Build quality was excellent. The fit was also very good....slips into the ear like butter and the seal and isolation was fantastic. UM is also pretty flexible when it comes to colours. You can choose different colours...

    JH Audio JH-13 PRO impressions thread

    This was the Winged Angel logo of JH Audio. As you can see, the image detail was slightly smeared, especially noticeable on the wings. This was somewhat understandable, because not all images reproduce well, especially those with intricate details. The smaller the image, the harder to it is to...

    JH13 with Crystal Piccolino Cables

    This is the Crystal Cable that the OP mentioned, except that it is connected to the UE11 Pro rather than the JH13. The JH13 Pro cable and the UE11 Pro cable are essentially the same, save for the connector jacks. The UE11 Pro has recessed jacks. Again, this is still a prototype cable, so there...

    How do I tell that my UE custom 11 is not custom 10 or even less?

    Be as it may, Sabatar, I know what I heard I was never a firm believer of burn in for armatures either. The TF10 Pro I have did not change a whole lot from the time I had them. Same thing for my AT CK9, CK10 and my Westone UM2. While the UE-11 now sounds decent from most DAP's I own, it...

    How do I tell that my UE custom 11 is not custom 10 or even less?

    Yeah, you're right. The TF10 reaches slightly higher in the treble than the UE11. Right off the bat, the UE11 does not sound too good, to my ears. It has an overwhelmingly boomy bass, and a distinct treble roll-off. Overall, a surprisingly coloured sound. I'm happy to report that after around...
