mine came with mmcx connectors for IER-Z1R. think you will need to send them back for retermination and retermination costs a lot. more than half the price of the cable iirc. not selling if i can help it. it's a very impressive cable. the STR7 SE is better than 1960s 2W and comparable to 1960...

My Brise Yatono Rh+ 2023 just arrived. At doesn't seems much difference from the stock cable. Just a tad meatier in the sub Bass and mids. But after skipping over a few songs, I do hear some extra details that are not present with the stock cable. After more listening, the treble extra...

I tried the Moondrop's Spring tips for 3 nights. Around 1-2 hours each time. They are not bad. Comparable with the stock hybrids. I have better results with wetted Xelastec. Got the Eartune Fidelity U a few days ago. Got the M size. This pair of ear tips, is the best I tried so far. Used to...

Sorry to hear that. Happy New Year. New to this thread. Semi retired from Headfi (I thought I could retired from Headfi). I snagged the grab bag c by waiting for the timer counter to run out and had to refreshed a few times before I could place the order. Hope it synergise with my IER-Z1R...

Auditioned FX850 and FX1200 and got the FX1200. Later got the FW01 and the FX1200 was left gathering dust. After I got the Cupid, FW01 too was left gathering dust. The only thing I missed from FW01 is the mids and vocals. Was a basshead and started to appreciate bass especially sub bass that was...

not racist at all. the difference is the way they were cooked i.e. steamed (white) or roasted (brown).

Let's see. Right or left kidney... :see_no_evil:

So true. :beerchug:

:speak_no_evil: Between getting a Romi mod or get a bag for her....:sunglasses:

Can I request for a blindfold and a cigarette?

Lol. I am not that suicidal, yet. Being in a lockdown now cooped up at home, this is a recipe for disaster.

Agree. Was musing what will happen if I tell my missus her designers handbags are for suckers...:thinking:

In the pursuit for the last few percentage of gain in SQ in upgrades are insanely expensive. I call these people perfectionist (with means). I can't afford it but I don't go around saying they are suckers. Same as cameras, performance cars or luxury watches. It's a niche market. It's priced...

Welcome. From my experience, It's best to audition them yourself. But remember Cupid's very seal sensitive. Best try it with different insertion depths and angles. I tried Cupid with more than 20 types of eartips before I found the best one.

Thanks. 1 step less to attain audio nirvana. :ksc75smile:

I have FW01 and Cupid. After owning Cupid, I hardly touched my FW01.Cupid made FW01 sounds muffled to me. Cupid is good but is extremely sensitive to how you get a seal. Shallow insert depth only. Play with all the ear tips you have. Once you managed to get a good seal, the sub bass goes deep...

Pardon me for asking. I see you have both 1A and 1Z. Why mod the 1A and not the 1Z. Won't modding the 1Z will improve the sq more than the 1A with the same mod?

Was curious. Not that curious anymore. Will try when not so lethargic due to being confined at home. Thanks anyway, will keep it in mind.

LCS2C sounds nice with this. :o2smile:

Maybe it's because I used Sony Sound Forge to convert wav to flac? Let me try using dbpoweramp. Same result using powerdbamp.

No tags. Used Mp3tag to remove just in case. Same results. A few bytes does not seems to matter to the overall listening quality as far as I can tell A/B ing them for few minutes.

Did that. Convert wav to flac (level 5) then convert back to wav. 36 bytes was lost in the process but a/b ing them, I feel they are identical. Thanks @nc8000

Thanks for the effort. You may be right. But I still believe my ears (although I might not be of sound mind). I do not want to dispute. Just as I once argued with a audio store manager that usb cables are just 0s and 1s. Why do I need an expensive usb cable for my amp. I amazed after trying out...

Converted wav to flac (uncompressed). Flac is a little bit bigger in size. If uncompressed flac is of the same quality but bigger file size, the only point to do so is to embed artwork. Now when you compress them to save space, to me, there is be some details missing thru my own experience...

This, I think is your longest post. Totally agree.
