PS>>
SEMKARCH is a new brand of LZ (LaoZhong) HIFI Audio company,
Like the LZ A2/A3/A4/A5 the SKC-CNT1 is tuned by the same tuner LaoZhong.
SKC-CNT1 uses 10mm carbon nanotube (CNT) diaphragm high dynamic drive unit, the sound is so amazing, which is a pleasure!

Are you able to give a little more detail regarding the sound?

What genres work well, soundstage, clarity, instrument separation, any frequencies forward or recessed, any roll off, bass texture and speed, etc?

Carbon nanotube drivers can be quite impressive, but like with everything it’s all in the tuning and execution.

If I were to take a gander, the first part refers to the problem when you change the cable to wear the ie cable down, you have to switch the blue/left red/right labels. The most practical solution of course is to put those indicators in the actual cable and not on the body of the iem, that way they will always indicate the right positions. The other half I think they are talking about the MMCX connectors becoming looser with constant changing, which is an issue with a lot of them.
They have replaced the cable i think from the start of this year as the old one was turning green. I also understood they are trying to fix the loose connection issue but i don't know. They have a Facebook page as mentioned before i guess you can ask them. They replied to my questions within a day. Here is my pair bought in February with the new cable which has the L and R signs on. Also with the hybrid (silicon foam) Symbio tips. I found them a bit hard but provide excellent isolation.

I have talked to them already, and they already told me that they replaced the cable on their newer batches. Trust me, I know all about their cables, I got a T2 from their first batch and the cable turned green in a matter of weeks. The old cable also had left/right markings, that is not what I was referring to, but to the fact that they put red/blue indicators in the actual body of the iem, and that when you flip the cable when you want to wear it down, the red/blue indicators get inverted as a result. The easiest solution to this is to put those indicators [the red/blue pieces) in the actual cable and not on the body of the iem so this doesn't happen, and that that's what they were probably referring to (I am not contacting them over this as I already own the T2 and won't get a new one over cosmetic issues).

How long have you had your T2? Is the cable holding up for you? If was the only weak point in an otherwise great iem.

Regarding the issue with MMCX jacks… If you look at the male connector you will see a closed ring near but not touching the base of the connector. I say closed ring because that's by design. That metal ring will open slightly as you seat the connector and the ring expands to go over the corresponding ring on the female connector. When fully seated the ring will compress again and that's what keeps the connectors coupled. The very nature of a split ring that mechanically expands and contracts means that eventually the ring will stop closing as securely. Quality, material, adherence to the spec, etc will effect how long the connector works well.

The design has a bit of a saving grace in that it is possible to carefully squeeze a ring that no longer closes properly tight with pliers or similar tools so that it will operate again but it will not equal the performance of a newly built one.

Have them since early February the cable is great no complaints there. Have some fit issues and trying different tips from day one as i like them a lot. Silicon wide bores work but makes them a bit bright for my taste.

Nice!

Are those the L or S body version?

Be sure to try some KZ Starline tips, as the stock tips are rubbish.
