    PLANAR IEMs fans thread-Impressions, suggestions, ranking list, techs

    IDK the tips I'm using now are the intermediate option: I've also got these Zero Audio BX700s and the tips I ended up using with those are silicone, even smaller inner diameter and smaller outer diameter, and I just like jam them right in my ear canals. The bass and the soundstage just appear...

    PLANAR IEMs fans thread-Impressions, suggestions, ranking list, techs

    ...hours the tuning sounds viable to me. Will try different tips and deeper insertion next because with other small "bullets" I have, that changes everything. Funny thing is what did put me off these is that they were advertised as studio reference tuned with *that* FR graph, which jus can't be...

    PLANAR IEMs fans thread-Impressions, suggestions, ranking list, techs

    Cheers, I'm saying timbre is notably good though. As I said, never heard a planar before and while DDs can sound generally "organic" or "pleasing", and BAs can sound almost "pixellated" and uniform, it feels more like the timbre is dictated by the recording with these and there's more nuance...

    Intime SORA: Giant killer IEMs from Japan?

    I swear I have seen them on there in the last few weeks, although none currently.

    PLANAR IEMs fans thread-Impressions, suggestions, ranking list, techs

    First listen to the Akoustyx S-6, and planars in general. What I'm noticing is how timbre is not uniform, and you can discern it's inflections within e.g. a note or between simoultaneous notes. That is the difference with what I've heard before. You wouldn't say musical or even "natural", but...

    Intime SORA: Giant killer IEMs from Japan?

    I mean the OG Sora is out of production, right? So you're buying used and e-earphone is a good place to look; also has all current Intime products, e.g. the Sora 2

    Saw this on Aliexpress, wondered if it was an unbranded Penon Tail. Seemed like a bargain if so.

    The iBasso Dongle DAC Thread – DC03 Pro | DC04 Pro | DC06 Pro | DC Elite | ...

    They do use that terminology ("Octa DAC chip matrix") for the DX260's 8xCS43198 configuration.

    Intime SORA: Giant killer IEMs from Japan?

    Interesting. They were priced at JPY 36000 initially. Finish looks nice although the machining is a weird choice.

    Intime SORA: Giant killer IEMs from Japan?

    Thought I might be able to pick a pair of these up and report back, but missed out. Haven't seen them mentioned on here. Using a VST driver: maybe OEM from Intime, or their drivers in another shell? They incorporate nickel. Interesting. N+um e1000

    Review by 'BX700' on item 'Creative Aurvana Trio'

    Bought these used based on previous review, and have thereby got myself a bargain reference pair. Neutrally tuned and generally giving the feeling of detailed, clear, accurate reproduction of the music: hearing it as intended. Very tastefully tuned, although I can accept some unnatural colouring...

    Ah I was a latecomer to Club 69, only went a couple of times before the end of my raving career.

    Is it okay to wear the cable straight down with IEM's instead of behind the ears?

    Hi, I prefer cable down too. Someone posted on here that a particular over-ear model (UE900) could be worn cable down with left and right sides reversed, and I found it to be true: I can get as good a seal as over ear. Have since tried this with a second over-ear IEM, and it was viable. Can't...

    TRN impressions thread

    Mixed reviews apparently but I like the BA8: speed, detail, soundstage, timbre. Should I look out for a pair of BA15s/BA16s or will I be disappointed? How are they different? Full disclosure: I dropped one unit and can't be sure the performance hasn't been affected. [edit] I seem to have found...

    The Audio Lounge

    Audio paranoia: dropped one (BA) IEM and feel like there's a barely perceptible drop in volume on that side, just can't confirm it. Not the first time it's happened. Anyone else experienced this? Can't enjoy listening with that niggling doubt :slight_frown:

    Cheap and cheerful cable-down IEMs

    Good market in Japan for cable down IEMs. My best find so far has maybe been the Ashidavox HF-EA1: single large DD with, apart from weighty and well extended bass, nice detail, nice airy treble, natural timbre, good seperation and space. There's an upgraded version too, which I haven't tried yet.

    All-Balanced Armature IEMs (Discussions & Comparisons)

    At the risk of being called out for not having read the thread, what's the most significant recent advance in BA tech to look for in your opinion, though?

    All-Balanced Armature IEMs (Discussions & Comparisons)

    Yeah... what I'm really looking for is detail/price bargains, even at the expense of other characteristics, inc. older models. Got the BA8s for about 50 used, an unexpected find which I may not replicate for a while.

    All-Balanced Armature IEMs (Discussions & Comparisons)

    Don't feel able to criticise the BA8s much because they're objectively technically better than anything I've heard. I will say I don't find them harsh though,and the bass beats any DDs or hybrids I've heard for body and accuracy. You've heard higher end sets than I have though: better...

    For those of us with multiple headphones, which ones are you listening with now?

    Just got a pair of TRN BA8s, relistening to a techno playlist in new definition. Have a few IEMs, these are technically better than any of them.

    Musical Fidelity EB-50 appreciation thread

    Surprising bass body and extension for a single BA. [edit] Tried another tip (soft silicone, large aperture) and am (more) sold on these. Soundspace is much improved.

    Comment by 'BX700' in item 'TRN BA8'

    Just picked a pair of these up for a good price, enjoying them a lot out the box. Extension is good at both ends, detail is very good and they're fast but the sound is tempered such that they don't sound forward/harsh in the slightest. All bands are weighted appropriately: maybe not perfectly...
