Yep - The Violet is quite a bit thicker than the NT6, even the NT6 pro - the bass response is much more, and the presentation is a fair bit more forward. I find that the treble sparkle still remains though. I think the NT8 is the outlier in their releases and has been out for a year or so now so...

Just thought I'd share my experience with qdc over the past couple of months. Back in the end of Jan I ordered an 8CL from a distributor in SG, and received the 8CL 2 days ago - alas, the shell colour was wrong due to an error in the order form on the distributor's side. Thankfully I met David...

So i've asked @toranku for permission to post my impressions from canjam on his thread and he has kindly given his assent, so here goes - hope people will find this useful: Kumitate Labs Proto 2.1 (?) This is the 2nd version of the KL Proto, with a configuration of 1DD+3BA, which is different...

Kumitate Labs Proto 2.1 (?) This is the 2nd version of the KL Proto, with a configuration of 1DD+3BA, which is different from the original Proto which was 1DD+2BA. Ito told me that the main purpose of this difference was to get greater dynamics and a more full-bodied sound. Naturally, the Proto...

I've heard the same unit that only just arrived in SG, so this would be again fresh fresh impressions, and from 15mins of listening (does this make me unqualified to have an opinion?) Bass: superior the the Andromeda in every way, but mostly in quantity Mids: clean, if a bit recessed in the...

Same! Would like to hear about this from @64Audio. I'm also considering the N8 so it would be great to know if there has been an intentional change in the sound, which would then differ from the demo which I very much liked! Thanks

64 audio HMMM. to be fair, Z5 was rather pricey

I wonder if by "reference" you mean neutral and flat? From what i've listened to for on the Z1R, it is a rather coloured IEM that is geared towards the consumer market for a fun and more enjoyable signature - which would perhaps make it not the best option if searching for an improvement in...

Been spending alot of time with the M9 over the past week, full review can be found here: https://www.head-fi.org/showcase/sony-ier-m9-in-ear-monitor-headphones.23359/reviews#review-20999

Hey, I did not notice any sibilance with either of the M7 or M9! Blown away by how good it sounds haha

Went to try the M7/M9 today, thought I'd just put some of my thoughts here in case anyone shares listening preferences - Perhaps for context - my listening is mostly classical, with focus on reproducing what is heard in a concert hall for example, and turning these into CDs/digital release -...
