Just to add some insult to the injury:   I got a pair of these fantastic sounding IEMs years ago. I used them exclusively for the gym, so they took tons of sweating; they never missed a beat (I always cleaned them with a towel and stored them on a zip pouch with silica gel after each use).  ...

Thanks BenF!! Been eanting to hear a Sabre based DAC for a while! Just ordered the 2 w/ TCXO upgrade.

Hi, So You find the hifimediy to sound better than the fiio?

Mimouille how would you say the heir audio 5.0 compares to those you just mentiomed??

Hi!       Thanks a lot for the pointer nicholars! Also being Senheisser a more widely available brand I may locate somewhere to try them!       Thanks LCfiner! Maybe I could try them also, being Philips!   Quote:   Didn't thought there were "affordable" CIEMs...

the only thing I'm afraid regarding this issue is... will this have any impact on v7007 release date? Looks more than probable...

I'm lost...   ljokerl, could you please point me to something in the $200-$600 range, either universal, or even preferred, CIEM that would suit my tastes?   After reading a lot of other reviews I'm still lost.   I want bass, I especially want great dynamics, cannot stand the most...

Quote:   Problem with "trying" those (K3003, Ultrasone IQ, Super.Fi 5EB, Heir 8.A, etc its all reach the $1000 mark, while CIEMs are around $600-700!   what about $300-$600 range? UE-900 maybe?

ljokerl, and any other with wide experience with IEMs, I would like to ask for some orientation:   After "discovering" the Vsonic GR06 thanks to this thread, I started to have the "itch" to upgrade, so the quest began...   I don't use amps, the IEMs should sound fine with a naked iphone...

PelPix, thanks a lot for the files and your time shared!!!

I seriously hope they don't use flat cables, that will be a no-no in terms of microphonics!

Quote:   Heavy driver flex... these drivers need more than 60 hours after soldering to go back to "normal" performance.   Just had to resolder the cable as an accidental trip to the washing mashine loosened the glue; after those burn-in hours the sound went back to "normal", and the...

ljokerl, kudos for this impressive thread!!! THANKS THANKS THANKS!   I was  in the quest for the ideal (for me) IEM, so first read all your reviews from $30 to $100, and confirmed your listening taste was in line with mine (comparing your impressions from IEMs I owned, like a-jays three...

I wanted to re-cable them with an original Apple cable w/ controls for ipod/iphone.   Best way to open them is to heat them slightly, then look where the cable enters the earpieces, on the outer side you'll see there's intentional space to insert a xacto knife (flatly) and do some force to...

Hi!   I got the GR06 recently in my quest for my ideal IEMs for use only with iphone/ipod and carry them always "on the go".    I'm having a hard time finding the ideal ear tips for them, I guess due to the square shape of the earpieces, the nozzles cannot go inside enough.   Lemme...

One of my hobbies is RC and we're used to have to fix things in a durable manner It may end not being the best looking phones, but it will be up to the task. Better than scrapping them anyway... You have two options: - Use an specific epoxy formulated for plastic bond (because...

Another killer project from Pete!! I can't wait to test it out! plus it makes an ideal amp to have at work (sp. if you're an IT guy I can plug it anywhere I have POE!! For those looking for the power supply, don't agonize over ebay, these PSUs are pretty comon nowadays and you may get a...

This post brought a big smile on my face... Back in 2002 I took Pete's design and started doing rounds and rounds of PSU design testing and tube/components permutations and started harrasing everyone around, including Pete (who kindly explained the design and suggested things to try) The...

I won't get too excited about tube "clones". Tube amps have a clear advantage over IC in that they use very few parts in comparison, but precisely by this, a single part being lower quality than it should be will ruin the amp completely. I suspect that many people who tried tube amps, and...
