Thank you so much! This helps a lot. These look like great options! Thank you!!

Yes, the Hexa does look like a good option. The N5005 is more than I want to spend right now. Yes, I do like how the AirPods are tuned. Easy on the ears. I'll take a look at the Aria. I was considering the Moondrop Starfield as well. I'd be curious if anyone had any input on that and how...

Been away from IEM's for a while. Looking for a good budget IEM with natural sound. I don't like too much bass, I get fatigued by too much high frequency, I don't like bright sound, not looking for mid's to dominate, prefer a W signature. I'm using apple AirPods right now, but want something...

The HVA is a very good deal for the having tube sound IMO. But I returned mine since it became so temperamental with ringing that it wouldn't stop ringing.

I had a Martin HVA for a while with my A4's and I do agree that it was a little bass polite and focused a little more on the sparkle. I used the A4 later with an Alo Audio Rx that did the trick and then some. The only problem with that is it's only an Amp and there are other DAC/AMP's that I...

I bought these IEM's on new years eve. Since then I have to report that they have held up very well and are still a pleasure to listen to. A great value for the money. I love how well they isolate and block extraneous noise, which wasn't an aspect I was looking for when purchasing them...

OMG this stuff is still going on? WOW. Not worth it.

You have excellent taste : ) Yes! This is a great album! This will journey you through. Better late than never. You're more than welcomed to PM me about your experiences. Been researching for years:nerd:.

Here are some free songs from Slow Meadow to draw out some That is trippy stuff. I have checked them out and they have been on my radar and I would have liked them in my early days of going down the rabbit hole, but doing so changed my preference to slower music. Your previous song made me...

That is beautiful. The emotion... Reminds me of this track...

I would definitely contact them. That's been a very common problem. They often say it will take a week or two, but they have told people that for months, so... Well, let's just say it's not a good picture and as others have stated the waiting time is horrendous.

Beautiful!

None of the Deltas nor atlas deltas were sent out. They were replaced with Masters instead. As far as I know the reason wasn't fully explained. I haven't been following their threads really since I cancelled my Atlas Delta.

The delta V2 was truly one of the best I have ever listened to. I cross fingers and toes for a re-release. I've honestly only seen TOTL IEM's evoke such a keen praise like those. I hope he gets his head above water.

Typically when someone mentions they are getting zero bass that means they have a poor seal on the eartips. I've heard the 1more triples are more challenging to get a proper seal. That said, the TripleD's do have a polite bass where the deltas can have a prominent midbass. I can't tell if...

OMG... This album is up on my buy list now. I really liker he work and how she can deliver her own form of pop music, but this one does have something special to it. Exactly like you say, no note is waisted and it goes beyond anything generic that isn't obvious all at once because of the way...

That's that magic of the Vega. I like hearing about that. I just got into Goldfrapp this year after purchasing Silver Eye. I was checking out tales of us after you mentioned it and Jo's melody has been in my head all week cuz of it. I think I am going to have to bite the bullet on that album...

+1 for that!! Big Goldfrapp fan here. Big Vega fan here and the magic it contains. In one song you can feel more inspiration and essence of the art of music than you could an entire listening session of so may other IEM's. It just surpasses that threshold of magic: Inspiring, viscerally...

Honestly, from @canali 's description the Vega is a great match. But definitely worth giving a try of course, which goes without saying for any IEM at that price and especially CA IEM's that are very fine tuned. But I will say the FLC8s isn't going to offer what the Vega does. You can't match...

If that's the case then prepare to fall in love. And if anyone else with the Vega wants to hear a song that showcases its prowess with the bass (Though I can guarantee the audio quality from the youtube video doesn't do it justice), Ibeyi's "River" is one of the best IMO:

An endgame DAP with endgame IEM's... I bet it's a pretty descent listen lol.

I'd like to hear the Dita Dream, too. The fact that they made it "reference" is quite interesting!

That's good! I remember when I demoed the Dorado the bass was too much for me and I didn't want to risk it cuz I really needed something with a little more relaxation. The Dorado definitely has an energy to it and the bass definitely bled into the mids initially. So I got the Vega instead...

Definitely worth auditioning them! Logic doesn't always pan out to preference. And one thing I definitely will say, is if you haven't tried the Vega, it's worth a try. The diamond driver it has isn't like other DD's. It's worlds apart from the DD used in the Lrya II and Dorado. The driver...
