Let's not bash cute for his view - it's quite a common one. I myself hear a difference, but that might very well be placebo although I doubt it. Quite a few somewhat "respected" head-fi members seem to hear a sonic difference between stock and aftermarket IEM cables and so do I.    @cute...

A new hybrid cable? Oh dear.   Shame about the giveaways, but as I've already been lucky enough to win a cable in one of Franks must-give-stuff-away crazes it's probably best that someone else got lucky this time. 

Damn.. You're away for a little while and suddenly there is 600+ new posts!    Did I miss anything? 

How big is that meet gonna be? I've been planning to visit some family in London for a while. Might be worth doing so around the 27th

Did someone just compare the Wizard to Picasso?

Quote:   Now that's sexy. How is the RWAK100 with CIEMs?

Quote:   Too soon to tell, will need to A/B and hopefully lure someone into helping me do a blind test. That will also allow for me to find out if I really think the SW is better than the SP or it's just my brain telling me that of course it must be   Right now I find the Piccolino...

Currently rocking the Heir 6.A with one of Franks Piccolino cables. Damn!

So the UPS guy just dropped off a set of 6.A and the Rendition1 amp. Currently listening to The Weeknds "Trilogy" release via MBP -> Apex Glacier -> 6.A (w/ Toxic Cables SP cable). Too early to come with any detailed impressions, but I suspect I'll be busy listening the entire weekend. Shame I...

Quote:   No CIEM version according to the thread on AVF

Quote:   I don't think debating how to break the law is appropriate in public threads

Quote:   The UPS guy is bringing me one today according to the tracking info.. I'll make sure to let you know

Quote:   I wouldn't worry too much. Frank isn't going to steal your money.

Quote:   January 22? Mine arrived December 31st and my set got shipped 2 days ago. Obviously I can't tell the future, but I'd say it might take a while longer before they get to your set.

I believe the MK3 still has some hiss issues with CIEMs.

Quote:   That's not really true, though. The thing is, most top-tier CIEMs are really good and will make most people satisfied. I didn't hesitate to knock on the Heir 8.A as I prefered the sound signature of my older JH16. But it was really hard to really fault the 8.A other than just...

We already have a thread for questions like yours: http://www.head-fi.org/t/596233/buying-portable-or-in-ear-headphones-seeking-guidance-dont-start-a-new-thread-ask-for-advice-here Try browsing through this review of 272 IEMs. It's a great source for information...

Quote:   No.

The pre-2010 ones can be used with most CIEMs with "standard" pin sockets (JH Audio, Westone, 1964, Heir, UM). I believe the TF10 sockets are different.   Not sure about the newer cables, but negative on the pre-2010 for TF10.

Well if they fit, don't cause discomfort and don't protrude (is that the right word?) in some odd way then I'm happy.

Yeah. Looking at my other CIEMs that's not the case with them.. Hopefully I won't need to send them back   Actually, the other set of Heir CIEMs I have with me look nothing like the 6.A's in the picture. That's a bit worrying

My 6.A's are done. Yay! Can't wait till they get here so I can finally hear what they're all about.  

Quote:   I've had a SW IEM cable for a while. Good stuff!

Quote:   25% of the declared value + a fee equivalent to $30 here in Denmark. Having to cover "extra" expenses is never fun, but at least you guys can consider yourself lucky you're not European when it comes to stuff like that

Quote:   I've got the Apex Glacier with me now and the Rendition 1 should arrive along with the 6.A soon. I'll make sure to post a brief comparison of the rendition 1 and the amp part of the Glacier.
