That’s interesting, because reading the forum and a little bit around, I felt like IEMs are all the rage and sometimes the first and only medium to listening to music. People spending tons for them, rather than having a proper setup, or at least that’s the impression I got. Since buying a...

Sorry if it’s a stupid question, but since I’m fairly new to this whole world, I’m still surprised by the widespread of IEMs and how much people are willing to spend into. I was aware of IEMs for musician, audio/sound engineer and technician, but didn’t know so many people used them for...

Hi all, I was looking for an upgrade to the standard cable of my Campfireaudio Holocene. I was looking on Hifigo, but I’m lost between all the models. I was looking especially at NiceHCK and Hakugei cables. Are they any good? I can’t find any reviews, or very few. Any other brand do you suggest?

thx all for the suggestion!

I’m enjoying my Holocene, but I’m not too fond of the cable; it’s too thin, always worried to break it someway, and it’s 3.5 mm terminated. Any suggestion for an upgrade cable that won’t cost as my IEMs?

Hi all, recently I bought a pair of Holocene, my first Campfire IEM. I like them but not totally happy with the cable; it’s too thin, only 3.5 mm and I don’t feel it sounds that great. Any suggestion for an upgrade that won’t break the bank? Thx

Extremely happy today! Finally I received the Holocene I bought last week on Campfire market; so surprised this is a pre-owned, since they’re perfect, can’t find a flaw! Great price too with the discount; too bad shipping to Europe+customs are idiotic. Still experimenting with tips and listening...

didn’t want to bring up such a s***storm with my question 😂 Anyway thx to who actively contributed with real knowledge to the topic.

I hope for a special Fathom edition.

Thanks again G., this was awesome. Anyway I didn’t want to diminish this world calling it a hobby; I was just talking about the most commercial part of it, where lot of hobbyist spend thousands chasing the last iem, dac, dap or whatever, believing and spreading fake knowledge. Very similar to...

I’m wondering, something like DAR (digital audio remaster) offered on some high end Astell kern DAP, is some kind of upsampling?

There were a couple of guys on a Facebook group spamming they’re cd ripped higher claiming “huge sound improvement”.

It’s full of people out here, Facebook groups, other forums and such, of people ripping cd or records (even worse IMO) to 24 bit and such.

That’s what I was thinking, and thanks for confirming it.

Thank you so much G. That what extremely clear and useful. I wish I had more time to study better all these things. There are so many things in this hobby that baffles me, and I rally wish I had more knowledge. I have question now; ripping a CD to anything above 44.1khz, is still considered...

From my little experience I’d say more reference.

Interesting, I tried for two weeks the Perform 5, but couldn’t like it at all; muddy, strange treble, don’t know if it was me, but couldn’t listen to it. I got scared it was because of BAs, because my other IEM is DD, and really like it.

I been reading lot of reviews but sometimes I got to say are really misleading 😂. Anyway I really the DD Iem I using right now (AKT9ie); for my little competence in IEM I can say they really balanced, good bass, not overpowering and good details. I’m eager to try more good IEMs for better...

Thanks for your suggestions. I’ll see what deals there will be around Black Friday, and probably I’ll pick something. I don’t know why many of the model that picked my interest are all BAs; currently the IEM I’m using in DD and the only other experienced I had with IEM was with an Aful...

That was extremely clear and useful, thanks a lot.

No but it’s cool, because I seriously think in this hobby there’s often a very little “scientific” approach and it’s nice to get a something more technical from people who know more. I’m a, sad to say, former guitarist, with at times huge collection of fx, amps, guitars etc and I’m really...

Thanks for the answer! Comfort is essential, so from what you said Supermoon is out. Fathom or Bonneville could be an option.

I guess I’m even more confused now 😂😂 but thanks for all your answers!

2 votes for fathom, interesting!

Most rock/indie/alternative. Some jazz, some hip hop and electronic.
