Your question doesn't seem to be getting much traction so I will try to help. I demo'd everything they have except the V6 Stage. I found the V6 to be better than the V3 in every way. Clarity and instrument separation were better. The bass on the V3 was the biggest let down for me, and I felt the...

125.5 lbs 155.5 lbs 185.5 lbs

I demo'd both units recently. The V3 was a great "all arounder" but the bass was the let down for me. I could have lived with it if there were no options, but I hate "living with" such an expensive item. I found the bass quantity was good, but not tight enough in my opinion. The V6 on the other...

No problem on the delay. Thanks for the info, I am still searching and have not ruled these out. 

I don't have the V8 so I can't comment on it. I just demo'd the V3 and currently have the Qi and V6 for demo. I can give you my take on the V6 compared to the V3 if interested.

That's the information I was looking for. Thanks, I think I'm sold on the V8's and can forego the demo.

I get what ur saying, they each have their own sonic character and not necessarily and "upgrade" over the other. But I think (hope) there is a hierarchy or progression. Adding drivers, sound bores and cost isn't just to differentiat monitors within the line-up. I get the destinct impression they...

Ivabign,   I'm kinda working my way through the 1964 line up with demo's. I started with the V3 last month and I currently have the Qi and V6. I like the V6 the most so far, but in your opnion would the V8 be a "no brainer" choice if the money difference is not an issue?

My experience has been fairly positive with e-mail responses, and stated delivery times. Shoot them another e-mail. I would be surprised if you didn't get a timely response.

Thats good to know. Makes the decision a little easier.

Thanks for the response. That's helpful information. Would different listening habits change your preference? While at work I have to periodically remove my earphones quickly to speak with people or answer the phone. Would customs make that difficult?

Ivabign,   You have a flagship CIEM (JH16FP) and a top tier universal (V8). When I'm done evaluating 1964 demo's, I need to decide universal or custom. Do you have a preference and can you provide any info that would help the decision?

They are pretty good with e-mail response times. I typically hear back from them late the following day.  

I have been demoing some 1964's and have been in frequent e-mail contact with them. I asked about the Memorial sale and can confirm rookie2009's post, no sale this year. I was told they have a lot of orders pending and they don't want existing customers pushed back from the influx of sale orders.

DGoreck,   Thanks for the response. I didn't think my question would ever find anybody. The search for a CIEM to suit my taste has been difficult. I too was impressed with the CT-200 reviews but was wondering what the higher offerings sounded like, specifically something with a little more low...

I was following this thread and waiting for your updated review!

Im glad my post was not taken in the wrong vain. In light of your situation with finals, I appreciate the explanation. Thanks.

Thanks for the EQ settings. I should have done that when I had the demo unit. I still can't understand why the ASG-1 was so genre specific for me. If the recording was over 20 years old, it sounded compressed, but the V3 didn't and neither do my VSONIC's, AKG's or Grado's.

eke2k6,   I hope I didn't come across as a lazy noob trying to short cut things for an easy answer. That was not my intent. I have read the majority of appreciation threads for 1964, Noble and Aurisonics. You have done an outstanding job on this thread and I appreciate it. There is a ton of...

I need an opinion from ASG-2 owners. I just demo'd the latest version of the ASG-1. I was impressed by the bass quality and vocal presentation. In fact I was blown away at how they sounded with much of what I listen to (modern jazz and vocal oriented stuff). But, with the music I enjoy from the...

Just curious, I'm in a similar search for a CIEM and considering three of those four. Did you ever take the plunge. If so, what did you get?

I still have the AVR-900 from years ago. Denon makes a good product for the money and I don't think you would go wrong with them. I would also suggest Rotel. I picked one up on the cheap a few years ago. No HDMI or anything fancy, but very well built and sounds good. A definite step up from...

Any Clear Tunes CT-300 owners that can give their thoughts on the monitors?

I see this question posed regarding headphones, but not IEM's. I have mild tinnitus in one ear that has been persistent for some time. I still want to listen to my music, but it has to be at a low volume. I want a decent mide level IEM, something "mid centric" with zero sibilance. I read an...
