[ngoshawk]

Monks have sinned!

Spoiler: Warning: Hardcore Monk Pr0n!

I call it VE NUN 

So....you could say the Monk has a woody?... Nice job on the custom.

 

[CoiL]

  did the wood shell add a little warmth ? 

I think no.

Not too much bass coming out of the canals? 

No. Depends how You close/open ports

seems appropriate
 
 

  Depends how You close/open ports

You can adjust the ports? Better go to the patent office quick, you might be on something there!

Basically yes. Still some tweaking to do 

 

[Tympan]

ingenious! that's some cool project you underwent there. Glad to hear you're happy with the sound. Sometimes one can put a lot of time and effort into something that doesn't turn out as planned, at all! (been there

I am not saying no to that, but for the time being, we r focusing on earbuds~

lol, we had a "nun" before, it was a earbud actually, now we stopped making those, it was a more like a simple joke to our fans in China, and We just gave them away.
 
we gave some "nun" away to the guys on head-fi as well, part of the early bird deal lol, ok now it sounds kind of strange the more I say it in english lolol.
 
but again great work! did u use the monk drive or drive from monk plus?

 

[CoiL]

 
did u use the monk drive or drive from monk plus?

Monk. Monk+ has newer driver? Hmmm... gotta try mod that one too

 
 
LOL, didn`t know You guys already did NUN ;D Well, too late for me to change my mod name, NUN it will stay

 

[zhibli06]

Monk+ is similar sounding, but better 
 
so yes, they have different drive
 
and monk plus is 64ohms

Is Monk+ noticeably harder to drive than regular 32 Ohm Monk? I would try to mod it too but I`m afraid DX50 doesn`t have enough juice for it and I don`t have any portable amp unfortunately.

Edit:

 
But I think I`m getting close to final port holes configuration @ NUN. Will still try one more thing and see if it improves or not.

YesshH! I think I have nailed final port configuration! 

 
Listening to Steven Wilson - Perfect Life atm, sounds aaaamazing (to my ears)!

 
I think with amp these going to blow me off the orbit...
 
Edit2: makes me want to upgrade DX50 HO opamps right away (been long time pending)... oh well, out of money this month -.-
 
Edit3: actually interesting thing about NUN... these could certainly improve with amp I belive but great thing about them is that playing them on lower volumes is also very very enjoyable! Usually I listen IEM`s around 192-198 @ mid-gain with DX50, now, @ high gain about 182 max but I can go low as 168 and still enjoy music without problem. Nice.

After 4 months, my monks have gone **** up. Lesson: Always have some spare ones around.

Are the drivers actually bad or did something happen to them? I have one set of monk+ (all my OG monks are perfect!) that has a bad plug where one side cuts in and out, but I'm going to recable those

They started to distort more and more.
