Hi I'm looking at purchasing one more quality audiophile-grade IEM £150-£250 ($240-$400). I just don't wanna feel like I've been shafted if prices plummet in two weeks time. Since I've never before bought or looked online at audio equipment during the January/July sales, can any UK forum users...

NA Blur can I ask you some basic questions about Warm Sound Signature?? I very much would appreciate help to construe the following: 1) I guess it a no-brainer that a 'Cold Sound Signature' means digital sounding. But in laymen's terms, what does "warm sound signature" really mean and sound...

Quote:   Wonderful response, thanks NA Blur you explained everything. Just one thing what are the audiophile or audio terms/terminology for "Tinny" & "Artificial Sounding", because the majority of the audiophiles including ljokerl don't use those two words in their reviews!

Thanks in advance. VSonic GR99 Philips SHE3580  

I wish to fully understand ljokerl excellent and comprehensive Multi-IEM Review..., so can you help me with the following (first two terms were used in a acclaimed general consumer review magazine): 1) What is ljokerl/audiophile terminology for "tinny"? 2) What is ljokerl/audiophile...

Hi MaxRabbit, I too was looking for where to go after 3½ years of numerous nuforces (NE-7M, NE-700M). Their poor design upgrade & recent quality control issues has also forced me to move on. (Also a blessing in disguise.) So I just wish to say a big thanks to your adventures & amazing...

Hi DeusEx & thepowerofdonuts thanks for the guidance. I appreciate your advice about getting ‘a better source’ with DAC and probably LOD. I already have 5.1 home theatre speaker system (consumer grade) attached to my Desktop. And that's adequate for now for my main music & movie sessions...

Sorry slightly off-topic but I tried to google it. When using the FM radio of a DAP, the headphones are meant to act as the aerial. But previous attempts of scheduled recording of FM Radio (while not present) are always full of crackle, thus I believe the body is also acting as an aerial...

Anthonym Thanks for the great tip, it seems these 'prepaid card schemes' are available to UK residents. Skimming to see if hidden charges, then i'm off to the bank.

Yeah I know I also have a direct debit card, but seems only good with UK based online retailers. I nearly roped my brother into getting them for me, but he started droning on about Import duty, VAT, brokerage surcharges

Please can anyone tell me if the ebay seller acaciotech is selling legit NE-7M?

Hi I hope you can help me with a couple of quick questions 1) Is the ebay seller acaciotech selling 100% legit NE-7M? 2)For UK NE-7M owners, is there a UK or EU supplier at a reasonable price. The London dealerships I called wanted £69 ($111)? TIA

Thanks very very informative guide!
