These are my sentiments exactly. How can a device barely last past 1 yr for the asking price. Why are so many failing at this time point. There is a whole host of issue from hardware to software. Sure Andy tries his best but really it seems more to be just consoling the user on their purchase...

Hi all After struggling to have my audiologist to perform ear impressions twice now, I am searching for another. I am in the Philadelphia area and would appreciate any suggestions with who you've had success with.

Now that's an interesting idea. Would you buy wire w/ color jacket, strip off the jacket, and resheath with the surgical tubing. Sounds very challenging. Have you done it? Wonder how the flexibility is.

I don't own a solder pot, not ready to tackle that yet. Just checked in with Trevor, he comforted me in suggesting no issues around the ear with the 22 AWG wire, though un-tested by Norne. With the black friday sales (didn't realize at first), this is really cheap per foot if anyone else is...

I'm looking for clear jacket copper wire for IEM cables. Is the 22 Awg OCC Copper from Norne very flexible for wrapping around an ear? How does it compare to the Cosmic Cable copper wire or Forza copper wire? Any other recommendations. Would rather not play the eBay game for wire, though if...

Thanks all for the suggestions. I've decided to go with the Lime Ears Aether (classic non-R) from the FS page here. To my understanding its a warm/neutral almost W shaped IEM with bass switch and good depth of imaging. Really looking forward to trying it out, though CIEM so the wait begins...

This makes me think I will prefer the Fusion to the Katana, as the Katana sounds similar to my Spartans. Also from Pinky's review of the Spartan's he seemed to think of them as 90% the Encore without the extended treble. With the Encore being bass heavier, slightly more V shaped, it further...

I'd actually be getting an A12T, seems a top contender. QDC 8 hifi as well. And I still have an interest in the Katana despite it being having leaner bass. For anyone who has heard the Itsfit Lab Fusion, how does it compare to the A12T, Qdc 8 hifi or Noble Katana. Really their up and coming...

Does the Tia driver of the U12T correct these issues, or is that more a comment of all 64 audio being sub bass heavy. I'd prefer dark to remain dark with my musical taste. I will look into the Aether R, but hard to find. The QDC 8 Hifi and AAW W900 are also now in my short list.

I'm looking for a little guidance on my next IEM. Particular models I'm interested in include: Noble Katana, Noble Encore (read as a Katana+bass), Campfire Solaris, 64 Audio U12 (non Tia), and the Itsfit Lab Fusion. I've been enjoying a CIEM EE Spartan IV for quite some time now, transparent...

Has anyone used these connectors for HD6X0 headphones? https://www.ebay.com/itm/Gold-Plated-Plug-Connector-For-Sennheiser-HD650-HD600-HD565-HD580-HD52-HD414-T2/153397276691?hash=item23b730b013:m:ms55klIae2JajfTsg7ngtvw

many thanks, I'll check in with Trevor or Plussound

Thank you! I'll ask him. Prices seem fair, and nice to know customer service is from an individual rather than company. I am in the US, so will need to see with shipping.

Does anyone have an ebay source for Sennheiser HD600 connectors? There was a white pair posted a while back, but those appear to be out of stock. There are a lot but not sure of quality. Not sure I want to buy the sennheiser cable and steal those plugs. If I do go that route, would you leave a...

Nice, have you tried the Symbio W with foam internal? That might be a good middle road for me.

Not a bad option! I'm reconsidering my decision to ditch them on the FS board. Really enjoying them alot more with the gray exterior/blue internal medium silicone tips. At least I'm assuming they're the medium size, 1 up from the smallest supplied size. Does anyone know what these are called, I...

I've got my S8 Pro's up for sale as well. Couldn't get used to foam tips (tried different sizes) over my CIEMs. A shame, because the bass impact and extension was something else, much better than my EE Spartan IV.

I would like to have my set of T1 G1 modded for a detachable cable. Does anyone have any recommendations, ideally in the US? I am willing to ship further if the price is right. Do any members perform this?

I'm looking to begin rolling tubes on my Feliks Elise after a little over a year of ownership with Thomson 6080WA and Silvertone 6SN7GTB, paired with HD600 and Beyerdynamic T1 Gen 1 headphones. I've also used my LCD-2 with the Elise, but find the bass is a little more muddled, lacking the impact...

Agreed that these issues are breakers when the device advertises them as functional. I've still not seen any resolution on the startup volume remaining at prior levels for 1-2 seconds no matter the setting chosen. Coupled with a 2 second pause delay that's 4 seconds of possibly deafening sound...

You could use it as a bluetooth DAC, send Spotify from your phone/pc to the WM1A.

I do have the custom startup volume set to where I like. My issue is, at player start up, the unit ignores this custom startup volume for the first 2 seconds and plays at the previous volume. Then after 2 seconds it returns to the custom volume. Coupled with the delay for pause, it can make a...

The only time 2 second delay is bad is when you start your player, expecting it to be at the preset volume, but find it returns to the volume you were using prior to shutting it off. Mainly an issue when switching between hard to drive headphones to sensitive iems. Not being able to pause with...

@Andykong any update on the startup volume issue where the device doesn't startup at the preset volume, it plays at the previously used volume? I still feel like this is a big issue for damaging ears/headphones between uses.

Disable USB audio out, USB DAC is fairly static prone anyway as well
