Speaking of EQ, for those who are using Equalizer APO with the Reveal plugin and want a little more upper extension and air without sacrfice the overall great tonallity, I recommend these settings for Graphic EQ:

GraphicEQ: 32 -0.4; 64 -0.4; 125 -0.4; 250 -0.4; 500 -0.4; 1000 0.6; 2000 2.1; 4000 3.3; 8000 3.8; 16000 5.2

Along with 100% wet Mix in the Reveal plugin panel and -8.6 dB on Preamp for tame the peak gain. Pure glory.

Something like this:

My finding is that this is what I want / need / like too when using the Cipher BT cable. I found playback to be a little dark using it. A bit of eq sussing-up the upper half of the spectrum works nicely.

Regarding burn-in, I've had the Isine20 for a month now and burned them in for 300hours, and compared it with my friend's freshly opened brand new set and there was no difference. I believe burn-in is a myth, waste of time.

How come you have so many?

1st set from the groovy kit - one of the tips wasn’t moulded properly so I got sent another groovy kit... so I got a 2nd set.

All my medium hooks I had broke so the UK distributor sent me 2 large as replacements. So that’s 3 and 4.

I still needed medium hooks so I contacted Audeze direct and they sent me 2 medium and 2 large. Giving me the 5th and 6th pair.

audeze didn't charge you shipping to the UK?

at the moment, i don't use any hooks, using aftermarket cable as ear hooks. ok if not moving around.

have you thought of making your own hooks? i have given a thought using titnanium wire. but not sure how hard/soft those wires are.

Did anyone's BT module ship? It's saying shipping in early February.

I am guessing he bought one of the packs off Audeze website. They usually send several extra in a pack. That is what I did. I ended up with a bunch of large I couldn't use and traded them on here for a bunch of medium. Now I have about 6 pairs of mediums. All of which I can use.

Edit: Oops I didn't see his reply for some reason. Please disregard this post.

I will never admit in person how much I spent to stockpile 3 accessory kits from Audeze just to have medium hooks...let’s just say shipping and duties to continental EU costed just as much as the 3 kits...that’s big hole or a shame in the Audeze ecosystem...just let us buy 50 medium hooks from regional amazon sites..or at least the kit...

I’ve tried many alternative hooks but the original medium hook is the best for me...

Now to another topic (it too tainted by bad availability in regional amazon stores and dumb shipping+duties overhead in major markets)...to buy or not to buy the Bluetooth Cypher? I hate how Cypher v2 sounds un-EQed out of the box...I’m afraid the BT Cypher sounds the same and that cannot be EQed system wide in iOS...

This won't happen. Hooks coming with the copycats are of even worse quality.

That's why suggesting using titanimum wires to make hooks .

No usb-c and no ldac is deal-breaker for me.

What is the best after market cable for isine 20 with high amperage? Planning to use with lg v30+

How do you think voltage, resistance, and current [amperage] works? I.e relates?

You supply voltage ... based on the amount or resistance and/or impedance, current [amperage] is then 'drawn'.

That said, I love my balanced cable I bought on eBay. Go to Ebay and search for this:

seller:lqicables

 

[paruchuribros]

Thank you for the recommendation. Can't spend too much for the cable. I am looking something cheap in price and comparable quality

For anyone who has been trying to get the Cipher EQ settings to work on Android and has root, I've created the DDC files for Viper4Android. Sounds great!

Awesome, thanks! Just installed V4A for this and will see if I like it or if I'm too far used to non-EQ now

Nah, not yet for me.

Have you looked into Frank88's earhook solution?

Yes I have .if not mistaken. Frank is using the audeze circular part and after market hook and joined together.

Ideal would be one metal piece. Thus titanium wire.

 

[faithguy19]

Ah ok. I'm following you better now. Titanium just sounds so uncomfortable.
