DIY Earbuds
I can't seem to find sellers selling premade MX500 shells with MMCX sockets (I found one listing but I don't want transparent shells). I was thinking of buying these to put into the shells: Do I need to prepare the shells before brute-forcing the sockets in, like threading the holes...- ricesteam

I'm new to the DIY scene as well. Too bad it's not stickied but Rary's guide is awesome: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1PRXhXgAr8N-EiNk3K9Cuqd36LeS5JB7ZuFDAgJbTCm8/htmlview# It has a list of drivers and accessories with links (although some of the links expired but you can manually...- ricesteam

Is there a guide or video on how to solder MMCX shell (like these https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004043524681.html) to a driver and to the cables?- ricesteam

Walnut F1
So, the USB port on my Walnut F1 broke and I failed to repair it. While browsing for a replacement, I noticed the Walnut amplifiers have been completely discontinued. Does anyone know what happened to them? Are they coming back? What are some budget alternatives? I like to be able to roll OP amps.- ricesteam

Feedback by 'ricesteam' on listing 'VE Asura 3.0FE and Megatron bundle'
I sold this to @tgx78. I wanted to leave a positive feedback but I'm not sure how to do it this current version. As a buyer, he was super friendly, patient and his communication was excellent.- ricesteam

Excellent like new condition. Used for less than 1h to test. These sound amazing but wasted on me because I work from home most of the time and listen to music on my speakers. These deserve a new home and I'm asking for basically what I paid for, a special preorder promo price of $108 USD (plus...- ricesteam

This is the sound signature of the original VE Zen 1.0 (and possibly Seahf 320 v1) Anyone know if there's a driver with the same or similar sound signature?- ricesteam

Earbuds Round-Up
In the process of replacing the cable, I applied too much pressure when opening one of the buds which resulted in the membrane separating from the driver. Perhaps with the right skills and tools, one could repair it. To me, that single torn wire connecting the two components is too microscopic...- ricesteam

I miss my VE Zen 1.0, which I foolishly destroyed a while ago. Anyone know if there are any earbuds in today's market with the same or similar sound signature? I recall at one point the Seahf 320 v1 (smart) sounded the same or similar to it. It even looked like a rebranded Zen 1.0.- ricesteam

Thanks! I did put a lot of thought of keeping the Diomnes Lv2. A few months of thinking, actually. In the end, raising a child is expensive lol.- ricesteam

Life has been keeping me busy with a new baby so I am unable to dip into this hobby for a while. Some of my buds are collecting dust and they deserve a new home. Thus, with sadness, I announce I am selling my favourite buds, the rare and elusive, Diomnes Lv 2. They are past burn-in phase but...- ricesteam

I have started the culling...in an effort to reduce my collection and to fund my other hobbies outside of audiophile, I am selling my Campfred 2. The decision was not an easy one, but one I must take. I have made a post in the For Sale section of the forums.- ricesteam

Well, as somebody would put it, your ears must be broken. Jk. Lol but yeah...discussion and opinions of earbud sounds is highly subjective. At the end of the day, the main question is how deep are you willing to dive into this hobby? Risks are taken if you're going to pursue that "sound".- ricesteam

I hope you like them, but don't take my word for it. Luckily, these buds are low cost so the risks are relatively small.- ricesteam

I wouldn't say one is better than the other. They both sound amazing. Just different sound signatures. If anything, Graphene has slightly better mids and soundstage, but depends on the song. If you have the budget, get one. It's good to have a variety of sound signatures in your collection in...- ricesteam

Hmm, I am curious about the K's 600. Judging from the pictures, it looks like it's using the same cable as the EMX 500. Unfortunately, I don't like the look and feel of that cable.- ricesteam

Has anyone tried the new EMX500 by NiceHCK and Small Five? I wonder if they sound the same as Woo/Fengru EMX500. NiceHCK: https://goo.gl/GyYMUe SmallFive: https://goo.gl/Cm7CkK- ricesteam
