    Best IEM tips?

    Picked up a set of medium Coreir brass tips and was feeling luke warm pairing with several of my main IEMs. Was going to write them off when I decided to put them on my OG Solaris. My goodness, they’ve breathed some life back into these! They were relegated to 3rd or 4th in my IEM collection...

    The Watercooler -- Impressions, philosophical discussion and general banter. Index on first page. All welcome.

    Does anyone have any brief impressions on the Pilgrim vs the Timsok TS-316? Seem like comparables for the price and for hitting above their weight.

    [FiiO KA17] Mini desktop-class amp, flagship dongle is officially released!

    Thank you for the support! Yes, all good now. Once again, this product has surpassed my expectations. One of my fondest audio related purchases in quite some time! Well done to the Fiio team.

    [FiiO KA17] Mini desktop-class amp, flagship dongle is officially released!

    Does anyone else have issues with it not working with an iPhone (lightning models) with MQA turned off? Audio only plays if MQA is set on so I can’t use any built in EQ presets as well.

    [FiiO KA17] Mini desktop-class amp, flagship dongle is officially released!

    Just received mine. Seriously impressed with this unit. Plenty of juice, no hiss and easy to operate and cycle through features with the display. Quite a bargain in my opinion.

    FiiO Hybrid IEMs Discussion & Impressions Thread

    Does anyone have any experience comparing the FH9 to the IE600? I have the IE600 which I’m absolutely enamoured with but my interest is piqued on the Fiio.

    Have some coming in for my IE600. Heard great things about them!

    Introducing Shanling H2 - Budget Portable DAC/AMP with Built-in Player

    Very enticing at that price point. Seems like quite a package and I dig the refined design compared to the bigger siblings.

    Exceptional in Every Detail: Say Hello to the IE 600

    ^Beautiful cable. Is it stiff or microphonic at all?

    Campfire Dorado 2020

    Has anyone compared these with the Senn IE600 and can offer some thoughts? Trying to decide on either of these as a next purchase.

    Those are stunning! Thanks for sharing the new colour way. Much nicer than the product images.

    Going fully Wireless IEMs. Too soon? Or are we there yet?

    For anyone that’s heard both, would the Denon Perl Pro and FoKus Mystique be considered on par? Or any particular areas where each excels in over the other? Appreciate the input!

    Grado Fan Club!

    Can’t believe I almost binned my PS500E with blown drivers. Swapping them with the Turbulent drivers have cemented them as my favourite cans to use now.

    post your grado mods....

    Swapped out headbands with a lamb skin option on Amazon. Surprisingly good quality - leather is very supple with lots of padding. Comparable in quality to the Turbulent headband in my opinion...

    Grado Modders Go Turbulent X

    Installing the Turbulent X drivers on my PS500e was initially a Hail Mary attempt and project to salvage a damaged pair of cans I had in storage for the past 6 years. I had thought of maybe salvaging them for parts but decided it might be a nice DIY project to attempt. Never did I think would...

    post your grado mods....

    Unfortunately It’s been too long since I heard the PS500e before they got damaged so I can’t compare to the originals but with the Turbulent drivers they sound extremely good. I don’t recall being as highly enamoured with the them before but I get a better sense of air and detail and a more...

    post your grado mods....

    Had a PS500e in storage for the past 6 years after the left driver blew from feedback from my tube amp. Got around to replacing the drivers with a set of Turbulent X. First time handling a soldering iron and removing the old drivers from the wood housing was a pain. Asides from that, they sound...

    Grado Fan Club!

    I’ve been in the hobby since 2002 and have had a plethora of different cans come and go through rotation. Surprisingly I never could get into Grados in the past but more recently they have risen to the top of my collection and have been getting exclusive head time. Definitely a Grado convert 🙂

    https://www.ecoustics.com/products/klipsch-t10-ear-computers/ “Pricing ranges from $2,500 - $5,000”? Don’t imagine too many will be queuing up for these ..

    Going fully Wireless IEMs. Too soon? Or are we there yet?

    Sorry for the temptation 😆. For what it’s worth though, these are stellar wireless earbuds in my experience! Perhaps my choice if I had to give up all but one piece of audio gear.

    Going fully Wireless IEMs. Too soon? Or are we there yet?

    Definitely agree on the TWX9. I went to audition the CA Orbit the day of release fully intending to buy them but wound up walking out with the TWX9. They eclipse some of my wired IEMs and have a such a large sound that straddles the line between headphones and IEMs. Definitely one of my most...

    Going fully Wireless IEMs. Too soon? Or are we there yet?

    Just purchased the Kef MU3 and am taken aback how goods these actually are. I wasn’t expecting too much but the musicality, separation and layering are exceptional. A bit no frills in terms of features but the build and sq are punching way above their weight class, IMO. I’m reaching for these...
