Shini44 I thought i was going to get Roxanne since my last ciem was JH16 and i thought i am a bass head so Roxanne seems to be the choice.But after i demoed both Roxanne And Mentor,i figured personal taste changes overtime,Roxanne sounds a bit too heavy , Mentor was more balanced and i was...

Quote:   it's new,and it's much better now if you plan to use it with a IEM since ALO added a gain switch,V2 is a very nice amp with sexy looks

  Quote:   Just found out UM and Rooth is actually the same company,or at least run by a same group of people  

  I am currently using RSA shadow connected with ALO Imod lod (previous flagship model). I also had a ibasso T3, very good for it's price tag and tiny size, but shadow is just better. ALO have a new imod LOD that they claims it sounds similar to their V-caps,i would like to try it in the future...

  Ok, first of all i do not have iphone, but i do own a i pod touch 3 which probably sound very similar to your 3GS.     IPT3 is generally a very good portable source, but my 5g RWA  imod is just better when we talk about sound stage and the quality of bass. The difference is very clear ...

Update for my order     Sent a email to jamie yesterday to see when will my order get into the lab , got a shocking reply " I’m sorry I seem to have misspoke before.  We have not received your ear impressions.  We have to have them to make your custom monitors."    Then i called my local...

  Quote:   I think a little bit darker of red should match better with your art work, just my opinion.

  Quote: No matter how normal this is,the pin of your cable would have a higher chance to break, i would suggest you to borrow another cable to make sure if this is about the pin or the shell itself, if the shell is the problem,you really want to send it back,this is a 1k plus IEM after...

  Quote: The mock up looks great but the real one is kind of werid

   Actually a lot of people from mainland China and Hong Kong are getting those local custom IEMs,those makers are too busy to take care of the oversea orders,that's probably the reason most of the people here only know about UM.     About the prices ,those flagship 6 or 8 drivers and hybird...

  As far as i know, most china custom IEM brands,if not all, started the bussiness  by 'copying' the sound of UE10, UE11 and EX3,some of them even named their models in the same way to make sure their customers know what they are buying. Later they probably made some money out of it and became...

i suggest you go for ibasso T3, doubt any other amp in the price range can beat it. You can just order one at their web.
