Thanks for your impressions miandnan,
a question about the ambient port, how does it influence the bass quantity, when discussing bass, did you listen at the optimum, in, (max bass) position,
would you generally discribe the bass as enough for contemporary bass electronic kind, or is it more like linear, quality, but less slam type?
Many thanks for your input and time
As I mentioned in my first impression post it had the auto Adel module, no adjustments ... I do not know how much more bass you can get with the manual modules. If you fully closed the manual modules and shut Adel off there would definetly be more slam.
The A12 is not tuned to be a bass heavy monster like the V8 or 8.A but really holds its own ... From the limited time I had I would say yes enough, but would take some adjustment time coming from something like the V8 which has a much smaller soundstage and explosive bass. The 8.A which have a big soundstage less explosion but digs real deep and thick is actually closer I think due to the soundstage.
Regarding linear I said in my last post "Not neutral as in tuning I.e. not as in "leaner more detailed aka less bass" but with Adel and the large stoundstage it sounds or rather feels how it should and that is Adel!" I would say linear and leaner have a similar meaning in this case.
Some of that slam in say the V8 is tuning and some of the feeling of that slam is due to the closed in pressure, you do not feel that pressure and thus it is not a slam being shoved in your ear, but naturally going into your ear and to the rest of the virtual room.
If you are wanting the most slam possible then the eventual A8 or U8 would be tuned more towards that.
I would personally call the V6S bass lacking and thin, I far prefer my 8.A's and 6.A's to them... The 8.A's are sweet and force a smile on my face even when at the 1964 office that happened ... The only other IEM there which did that to me was the A12 and though the A12 was not as explosive I felt going back and forth that the explosive feeling missing a little was also the pressure wave which was making the bass feel less natural.
Understand the 8.A have so much detail down low but that detail seems off after hearing the same details on the A12, the difference is in adel.
Guess all I can say if you are a true bass head wait for the bassist A series, A8 ... A12 due to tuning which includes the sound stage will likely not give as intamate experience with the bass.
Though I would take the A12 over and A8 just from hearing the V8 anyway
There will be some room to raise and lower the adel tech with manual module, the one I used is set to a predetermined and non adjustable level. I am guessing that module on the one I used was set more closed than Joker had his manual modules set as I felt as he did between the 8.A and A12 other than I found A12's bass to me more than he reported... Likely due to differences in the moduals setting (perhaps even relative to our ear canals total volume of air) maybe.
