hello, i'm new here.
 
need some advice though..
i'm currently using an weston um3x and thinking of upgrading to a ciem.
I'm not so 'pro' in iem, but i really enjoyed my um3x.
 
went down to try on various ciem (cosmic ears, 1964, empire, HUM, etc), but only the ACS Encore and the Lime Ears Aether 'sounds right' to me, and Encore win significantly.
 
However, i'm worrying about the silicon which is not many ppl in singapore used, as they claim it will 'humidify' and its kinda hard to slip it on.. 
 
any advice?

You can use the portative dessicator

Interesting claim about silicon and Singapore... I have both the T1 and the Encore. Not sure what you are talking about. Not these other chaps. They probably don't own a pair of silicon iems. At least not one by ACS. No such issue with mine.

I never fail to be surprised by the differences in opinion regarding these IEMs.

 

[Kiats]

That be true. Of course, there's nothing like listening for oneself. For me, it works well. It hasn't left my side for my frequent trips. That's saying a lot since I have all the TOTL FitEar customs. Which in singapore enjoys a cult following.

 

[seiya1009]

In that sense I'm going ahead to order one encore for my self!

Any heads-up for doing the molding?

I'm kinda worried Since I'm going to order one from the music-sanctuary, which I will be their first silicone customer. But they do have a very good black Friday sales.

I tried the fitear also. originally I'm going to get the 333. But with some random testing, when I came across this encore, BOOOMMMM change my mind in split seconds! Haha

 

[Kiats]

Hmmm... I did my original impressions with Jaben and did the Encore with them as well. No issues there. No experience at all with Music Sanctuary.

Just make sure you don't use a bite block. ACS require closed mouth impressions.

Yup! Good tip there!

 

[speed12]

Agree on the bite block - although my Encores were my first pair of CIEMs so no other experience, I did a lot of research into open/shut as I use them for singing. In the end went with ACS advice and I have absolutely no issues with them when singing. I suppose something to do with the silicone vs acrylic?

Anyway they are absolutely incredible - very very happy

Yes close mouthed for sure. Big lesson learnt there, lol. Luckily ACS is great to work with on the refit.

Doesn't help that there is nothing in the ACS literature to say that they must be taken with your mouth closed.

Apparently they recommend open mouthed for those using it when they sing, or for any reason will often need to talk with your IEMs in your ears.

Yeah I can understand why. The fit must have been pretty tight with open mouthed impressions.
