    Fantasy Land - what do you aspire to?

    Through a bit of good luck I own my dream source but would love to add a Van Den Hul Crimson Amber and a EAR 324 to it! Never going to happen though :(.

    If you still love Etymotic ER4, this is the thread for you...

    Er4s remain my favourite iem! Ive had a few customs but always return to the Ety's. They scale so well with source/amp! Unfortunately they have to go away for repair - I shall miss them :(

    ACS Encore Studio New 5 Driver CIEM!

    A good piece of audio equipment should blow your mind and make you want to cancel a date with a supermodel to get home to listen to it! "No, sorry Naomi, got some music to listen too! Another time maybe if there aren't any good album releases that week!"

    ACS Encore Studio New 5 Driver CIEM!

    Haha I'll bet he loves you! User feedback is what it's all about, if your paying 750 quid for a top IEM you should be nothing but happy! I remember the sinking feeling when I first listened to my UE11, took 2-3 months before the treble opened up, ended up being more detailed than my ER4P/S just...

    ACS Encore Studio New 5 Driver CIEM!

    Because I owned the T1 and they were excellent for all but the bass, better than the UE11 in the mid and top end, can't see there being such a huge difference in the voicing. There are also comments in this thread saying they are exceptional...I'm looking forward to finding out! The JH Audio...

    The Sennheiser Orpheus 2? A First Look At The Sennheiser HE-1 (The New Orpheus)

    Look like they belong in a hotel bathroom! Marble? Tacky, like a posh soap dish! I'm sure they sound sublime!

    ACS Encore Studio New 5 Driver CIEM!

    Looking forward to listening to them, opinion seems polarised. Always found the treble drivers are the last to open up and settle in.

    ACS Encore Studio New 5 Driver CIEM!

    Well I've ordered a pair but i've always been underwhelmed with customs, just don't think they're as mind blowing as they're made out to be, always a bit of the emperor's new clothes about them. Never found one that convincingly trounces the ER4S or equals a good Stax setup like some reviewers...

    ACS Encore Studio New 5 Driver CIEM!

    I read your impressions and was surprised. They have two drivers handling the top end and the T1's were clean and detailed. My UE11 however took months for the top end to balance out, was mortified when I first received them, sounded like a pair of marshmallows ended up being superb at the top...

    Lyra Phono Cartridges

    Helikon was the best cartridge I have owned! Took a sidestep to koetsu, not an upgrade just different. Regret selling the Lyra, dug DEEP in to the emotions transcribed on to vinyl like no other cart. Can't imagine what the Titan or Atlas can reveal?l!

    Any old fart head-fi'ers still around?

    I miss Patrick and Xin amps!

    ACS Encore Studio New 5 Driver CIEM!

    Was a consensus reached regarding the treble? I owned a pair of T1's and that was never an issue? Boosted mid range eventualy led me to return them. How does the Encore compare in this area? Giving a lot of thought to buying them or a new UE custom. They've been described as 'lousy' and...
