    UE RM + amp?

    I recently got a pair of UE RM. I thought I'd like my Corda Move and/or iBasso D4 driving it, but no.. I was wrong. It's too loud. yes they bring forward a frequency in the spectrum, but it hurts my ears. so at the time being i'm listening directly out of iPod (it's not too bad).    those...

    DAC/Amp: iBasso D4 vs Pico vs Predator

    I just bought D4 and I'm not happy with it. the sound through DAC is just not up to my expectation. I wonder if anyone had a chance to listen to D4 and then either Pico or Predator through DAC. I'm thinking about selling D4 and moving to either amp. can anyone shed some light/insight on...

    Am I expecting too much from iBasso D4?

    Since I'm finding more time to listen to music, I have been trying to gear up to listen my Mac. I ordered a set of UE RM and iBasso D4 (i know... but I was short on buget after RM and the DAC review of D4 was pretty good).   UE RM will take another 2 weeks... darn it. Today I received...

    How do you listen the feed from a digital mixer to iem?

    I just ordered a pair of ue rm. other than listening to music, i want to listen to the feed from the digital mixer at live events. Since iem have lower impedance than big cans, what kind of attenuation do i need to use? Does anyone have such experience?

    Upgrade from Meier Move to Pico (or Predator)?

    I have had my Move for about a year now. I am thinking about upgrading to Pico (possible Predator). Has anyone had both and can tell me if the upgrade is worth it?

    UE TF10. Improper seal means sound degradation?

    I have a set of TF10. I was using medium sized Shure olives with some discomfort. So I bought smaller size and the comfort is there.... The only problems is that the smaller olives does not offer a good seal as the medium sized ones. I feel that the bass has gotten thinner with smaller...

    Plugging Shure Olives into UF10

    I know this has been mentioned a few times, but I don't remember a thread dedicated to this. If there has been one, please let me know. So, I have a set of UF10. I use small Shure black olives for reasons discussed in this forum. BTW, I found out today that the small olives fit to my ears...

    5th week without my amp

    This is the 5th week I'm without my Move. My Move stopped working (I think it was because of the power surge) about 5 weeks ago. I mailed the unit back to Dr. Meier for repair. USPS took nearly two weeks (even with Priority) to deliver the package to Dr. Meier. Well, it has been two...

    Bose PM1 Noise

    Today I bought a Bose PM1 - a discontinued PCDP. I can hear the vocal more clearly than my iPod (lossless) among other sonical improvements. The only downside is the noise. I have tried both DC supply and AA batteries. The noise from DC supply was worse, but even with AA batteries the CD...

    Corda Move or Tomahawk for Triple Fi 10?

    Today I received a set of Triple Fi 10... I wonder how Tomahawk will sound since it's for IEM. Has anyone tried them both with the same IEM?

    UE Triple Fi 10 needs burn-in?

    Today I bought a set of UE triple fi 10. Do IEM need burn in? Also, I plan to use Corda Move with it. I think either TM or Hornet from RSA is an amp for IEM... would either one make much difference in triple fi?

    Darkvoice 332 vs Meier Cantate

    There is a big Darkvoice hype ongoing. Today I found it @ Ebay... $480 or so shipped which is not too bad. I bought a Move and I like the sound. So, I had in mind the Opera for my next home set up. Now that everyone's excited about Darkvoice I wonder how it compares to a similarly priced...

    Panty-hose upgrade for HD650

    Accidentally, I found a foam-removing mod for HD650 in this forum. I think it started year or two ago. Since I haven't seen a post about this mod, I will bring it up again. As a matter of fact, I removed the inner foam pad and the outer (small circle) and covered with pieces(same size as...

    HD650: Equinox vs 6G iPod?

    Yesterday I bought a 6G iPod... it sounds a little better than the 4G.. more soundstage... better mid-highs... but not impressive. I spent $250... But wait, I could get a new battery for my 4G(20GB) and spend the $200 or so in Equinox or Moon Audio's (forgot the name). What would you...

    Does CD ripping s/w affect SQ?

    I ripped all my CDs to Apple lossless using iTunes. I'm listening to Josh Groban and I hear noise or hiss here and there. It can't be the amp or cans since I only hear this kind of noise only for a few songs... Does CD ripping s/w have any influence over SQ of lossless files? If so, what is...

    Zu Mobius (Cardas) vs ALO BlingBling

    Today I received and connected ALO BlingBling in my 4G iPod. Boy!!!! the sound improvement is noticeable. I'm going to take more time to compare this afternoon when I get home. Until today, I was skeptical about cable upgrade... but this is starting to change my view. Upgrading my...

    Those who own both HD595 and HD650

    I saw at least one person in the forum that has both cans. HD650 arrived yesterday and I feel like I can't go back to HD595 (I plan to try tomorrow). Those who own both, do you every grab the HD595 again? If so, would it be dependent on music, mood or just for the heck of it? I'm...

    Does the sound card really matter?

    Sometimes I use Corda Move as a DAC+amp for music stored in my PC. I know it's not the best DAC, but I have no choice. When I connect the DAC to my PC... is the digital feed coming from the sound card? In other words, does the decoder really matter when it comes to sound quality?

    Should I use a BlingBling for 6G iPod?

    Hello. Plans changed and I will be getting the 6G iPod (Classic). ALO says that BlingBling is compatible with Classic iPod. Those who use it on the 6G iPod, is there a big difference between the headphone out and dock line out?

    Does that "pop" sound damage the drivers?

    I usually listen to my iPod via Corda Move when I'm at work. When I have to take a call or move around the office, I pause the iPod. Then after a few seconds it turns off automatically. As I turn it back on... there's a pop sound (quite loud with the amp on) that I'm afraid it might...

    ER4P: Boring sound?

    Today I met with a guy who wanted to sell a pair of used ER4P. The condition (the looks of it) was fair. So I tried them on with iPod and Corda Move. I head Eric Clapton (Running on Faith: Unplugged) and Norah Jones (I don't know why) for about four minutes. Well, the first song did...
