Further discussion -- Cable Survival. This post arises after 'window-shopping' online for any hot deals on Etymotic IEMs, parts, cables, and so on... Presumably you are an all-wire kind of listener ( we are all, all-in on a 24b * 96k format around here. Yes? ) . No radio link I know of is as...

EQ -- definitely. Source material varies. Studios acoustics & microphones vary. Producer - Engineer varies. Weather varies and so the effect on your ears. Burn-in takes time. My ears change over time ( paying CLOSE attention since 1976 ). It turns out that "matched" transducers . . . diverge ...

Etymotic — My history I am . . . old. So my ears are not new - IYKWIM. At 67 what was once a hearing range above 22kHz now rolls off, evenly in both ears thankfully, at ~15kHz. I know this because I have been testing myself since 1976. Calibrated mic for testing the transducer in question and...

This is essentially off the 'review' I posted on my favorite web-store posted today 2022-05-19... Cleverly . . . I bought a package of the ‘blue’ shortly after the purchase of my first Etymotic IEMs. Then that package got got lost in the shuffle and two moves. ( in 2012 these are a HF5 purchase...
