I'm actually really looking forward to test the SeeAudio Hakuya. The driver setup is the same as Anole V14 and Penon Impact. Curious to see how they compare! I find the Kaguya, their 4BA + 4EST offering, perfect for female vocals and shoegaze/fuzzy indie rock. It has a U-shaped tuning with a...

Thank you for sharing! I too think the Diva is a case study of "driver set up doesn't tell the whole story." For the sound, I think the Diva is relatively good value. Other $$$ IEMs that extract great sound from a lower driver count all-BA setup I can think of are the Helios, VE7, and QDC...

Sharing a bunch of stuff I tried on my recent visit to e☆earphone in Akihabara. Impressions: - Top-of-mind impression for Aroma Jewel was the mids. I loved the presentation. It didn't have the "wow factor" like many IEMs at first listen, but dissecting the bass, mids, and treble: there wasn't...

Sharing how I store my current collection... ...and honestly just trying to distract myself from all the tempting sales around :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes: Happy weekend + 11.11! :smile: For those interested, this is the Effect Audio Chamber carrying case. When I need more space, I'm...

Nice! Just one more to add to the list I feel can be top 3/top 5: - Acoustune AEX70

Hey there. I own both the Annihilator 2023 and the Cayin RU7. - My honest opinion is that the RU7 is "barely just enough." (I hate it when people say this, but for this case that's really how I felt) - Volume is not a problem. - However, I think the Anni loses air, PRaT, and note weight when...

I bet you're quite happy with the setup! :smile: I am listening on low gain with the volume around 70.

Thank you for the recommendations! I ended up getting the R6 Pro II. It pairs really well with Annihilator 2023. Very musical and even more low-end weight to complement the Anni's top-end. Audio nirvana achieved! :beyersmile: P.S. I think Anni's resolution can scale further with more $$$...

Do you guys have any DAP recommendations that work well with the Annihilator '23? I'm currently looking at WM1ZM2 and SP3000, but open to others too. :D (Will be plugging it straight into the DAP without an amp)

Here you go: 54.5g!

Congrats!! :100: How are you liking it?

Any Prestige LTD owners or enjoyers around? :D Pretend they cost the same- would you take the Monarch MkIII or the Prestige LTD?

They were ordered from: https://symbiow.com/termek/symbio-w-3-pairs-optional-sizes/ From what I understand, they are the new version still by @garcsa More info in this thread: https://www.head-fi.org/threads/a-review-of-mandarines-foam-tips.825397/page-30

The Symbio W's arrived. They're great for the Anni. I can tell there's a bit of treble roll-off, but it's a good thing for longer listening. Isolation was great for me. Most importantly, they don't feel like foam tips which I generally dislike. P.S. My mousepad just happened to be orange...

I actually went to grab some Velvets and the results were: more sub-bass and slam. Comfort is also great. Currently, I'm waiting for Symbio W to arrive in the mail to see how that compares. :smile:

Thank you for the replies. My OCD is striking again. :sweat: This one is actually the Titanium. Apart from that small spot, I actually love it a lot:

Anyone received theirs with a small blemish / uneven clear resin with a small bump? Here's what mine looks like:

Hey everyone. Just a quick question... Is there anyone EQ-ing their Stax 009 / 009S when listening to certain types of music that demand more bass? I'm currently running Chord Qutest (w/ Warm Filter) > SRM-D50 > SR-009S. A 100hz low-shelf filter with about +6db gain w/ Q factor 0.7 and pre-amp...
