Been away for a while. I tried IEMs for the first time in months, was pleasantly surprised by my MH755. It's a white with green-tips from Kanoya in Japan. I don't know if it's fake or genuine, but it sounded great with the $10 Apple DAC dongle on a Lenovo laptop I was testing. Cable is too...

So Starsea is kind of a sidegrade from FH3 and L3, maybe a little better or worse than L4. Interesting, as I already have the Starsea, and was considering the FH3. EDIT: I remember comparing my Starsea to my NM2+ a few months ago. I found that the Starsea was more melodic, more 'syrupy.' It...

Yeah, it's a funny situation. There's going to be an AliExpress sale, so I figured I should pick one of them. I've been hearing good things about the ZAX for the longest time. I have a ZS-10 Pro and wouldn't mind an improvement. I also have a CA16. I like its detail and smoothness, but dislike...

I come back after 6 months and you describe the perfect IEM. Now I have to buy the stupid thing. BTW How does it compare to the FH3?

Interesting experience: I was evaluating the Heart Mirror, not listening to them too much because I was keeping them pristine for selling. I hooked them up to the 9038D or whatever that powerful amp is called, and it did improve the soundstage and layering. Since it was on a computer, I...

I've been testing my new DQ6 for a couple of days. Just light use so far. I think the tuning is pretty good, closer to reality than some previous KZ designs. What strikes me the most, however, is the soundstage, transients, and percussion. There's pretty good separation and layering for a $27...

Can someone with experience with the #9038D offer some help getting it to work with Windows 10? My computer recognizes the device when I plug it in. It sees that it's a #9038D. However, it says "driver not available." This is even though I installed ct7601 driver, and it says it was...

Very interested to hear what it is. I'd be happy with a T4 in a T2 Plus housing with 3.5mm connectors!

Interesting finding: I was listening back-and-forth between about 6-8 different IEMs, and the TinHifi T4 seemed tuned closest to my Edifier 1280T desktop speaker. Both in terms of tone/timbre and soundstage, T4 was unusually close to the 1280T. The other IEMs did not have the same timbre. In...

Was rwtf3024 genuine? I ordered an MH750 from them in December, and it arrived recently.

The DQ6 may be cable-sensitive, and I see all sorts of people using replacement cables in this thread. There's a sale coming up soon, so I thought I might get a cable for the DQ6. So far, I've narrowed it down to the following ones I can actually find: -TRN T3 SPC -FAAEAL 4 core copper...

Can you point a link to the TRN Pentaconn cable?

Sadly, I lack that equipment, but yes, on a device as weak as an iPod touch, perhaps the cable resistances can have a noticeable impact on SQ.

What cable is that on the ZS7? I'm always looking to improve my ZS7.

Some evidence for the cable believers: I was having MMCX issues with my T2+, so I decided to use a different cable in order to test the connections. I took a new NiceHCK 8-core copper cable I had lying around [the one with the chin slider]. It was meant for my CNT-1, but whatever. It was easy...

Looks like another sale coming up on AliExpress. Let me know if there's any real deals on the ZAX! :jecklinsmile:

Ha ha, this is a debate actually happening right now. Some people say that the DQ6 is like a BL-01 with different technicalities. But others say the tuning is not similar enough, that it has its own tuning. So maybe you can contribute to the debate!

Yeah, it's too bad I wrote what I was saying late at night. Because I forgot to say the other part concerning the T1 Plus. Not only does it have improved fit, like the T2 Plus. But it has moved to a 2-pin connector. This is what we all wanted to see with the T2 Plus, and it is a logical next...

Looks like TinHifi is smartening up on ergonomics. The new T1 Plus (?) I think follows in the lines of the T2+, having good fit. In fact, the T1+ seems even more 'populist' in build and tuning than the T2+, for better or for worse.

Those MH755 tips... what can't they do?

I keep being told that the DQ6 is kind of like a BL-01, in some ways with better technicalities. So I caved and bought one yesterday. I lacked discipline and sprung for one with an included KZ 8-core copper OFC [for same price as regular DQ6, instead of even further discount.] Probably should...

Yeah, size ML are the best. I have already ordered an Open Heart, and will try it with any M or ML Spiral Dots I have left over. I think I saw something about using a FAAEL cable in another thread.

I've been reading your posts about the Open Heart with interest. Do you think you could summarize the tips/cables and tracks you recommend with this IEM?

Yeah, that's pretty much the case. I find myself listening to the BL-01 more and more. The tuning is very good, and very versatile. The main technicality it needs to fix is layering. And it would be nice to have the soundstage of at least a $60-75 IEM. And better imaging and greater bass...

I have the Starsea, and it is good for folk in particular, many people think it is the best for classical in its price category. The Believe is considered very special because of the material used. Harder to get. It's probably a better all-rounder. If you can get it for the same price as the...
