    REVIEW: Unique Melody Merlin - hybrid dynamic/balanced armature custom IEM

    Yep, I think they've been getting smashed with orders.   No email replies received as yet, but I did just receive a cable via express post, so I presume they're focusing on a backlog of operations/backend work at the moment.    I think Matt's the only one running the shop at the moment...

    Post Your Photography Here #2

    Back on this forum after a long time in hiatus :). The cost of camera-fi encouraged a curvature in head-fi spending...          I have too many that I want to post heh. Can see more here or here if you like :).

    AUS import tax - alessandro

    For alessandros, you could always try headphones.com.au. The ms-1s are about $150aud which is roughly the same when compared to most import shipping fees. I think they even have a shop front in perth so you can audition if you like.

    Dynamic -> Armature IEMs. Where'd you go punchiness?

    Several months ago, I purchased a set of Westone UM2s, and to be honest, my initial impressions were not too great. I'd come from a shure e2c and Mylar X3 background. I figured it was just the initial change from one headphone/IEM to another, and the rolled off highs of the UM2 and (I find...

    Looking for Small, Portable IEM Amp

    Not too sure how much that LD goes for. But I'd say you couldn't go too far wrong with the Meier Headsix. Sounds like it'll be a mighty fine IEM amp. Good luck with it .

    Good alternative to ipod stock earbuds that's NOT in-ear?

    Someones eventually going to say this, so Koss KSC-75s. They're clip-ons and sound rather nice (and are very cheap). Other options are the Amadana Bamboo earphones, which also sound fairly nice. I can't get a decent fit however, so I personally get no bass. YMMV. I haven't heard the Yuins...

    No worries. I just booked 10-12 for Saturday 20th October. Please call this number 9385 2650 (its the Library number) and just tell them that you would like to book the (big) study room 301-B on that date. If UNSW students could make the bookings (2hrs max each) and post back here that'd be...

    Sydney meet 20/10

    Ok sounds like library is the way to go then. Hows 12-4 sound (or longer)? I'm not definite that I can book over the phone, but i'll give it a try. Someone will have to get the other 2 hours (and more people will have to consecutively book after if we want more than 4 hours).

    Alright semi urgent issues seem to be arising re: room hire. I've made some calls this morning, UNSW is less than feasible. Roundhouse won't open up on weekends, so thats ruled out. CATS rooms will charge $280 for booking minimum 4 hours, so thats a little too dear I believe. One UNSW...

    KSC-75 Mod!!

    I just completed this mod, and there are some sonic differences at the moment. Electric sounds (or rather non acoustic or vocal noises) seem to be more scratchy (just a little). My theory is that the open nature of the ksc75s with the closed v150 enclosure is letting the sound bounce a bit...
