~$30 pure silver seems good

When I had the Tin P1, I mated it my Monoprice/Monolith THX portable DAC amp. I only experimented with boosting the low shelf. Did you adjust your PEQ settings as well ?

I ask because I picked up another pair, in a trade.

I only touched the bass with PEQ:

Found that this also helps remove some of the unnatural treble timbre.

Oh, at that price range I wouldnt recommend 8/16 core cables. I got a few cables like that over a year ago and they are all built very poorly. I recommend you get something like the Faaeal litz copper cable that is at 14 usd now on 11/11, it is 4-core cable but build quality and measurements are amazing.

How do you compare it versus TRN T2 16-core silver-plated copper cable? @RikudouGoku
With coupons I can get the TRN T2 16-core for like 7€!

In general, TRN cables are not built as well as KBEAR and NiceHCK cables are, IMO, so longevity is in question.

Agree, trn stuff are not very good In terms of QC. I don't have the T2 but got the T3 and I think the Faaeal are better built.

I bought the KBEAR LARK, as a very spontaneous buy!
Had coupons for another deal and decided to place the savings on some IEMs..
My best cheap ones are the CA C12, which have held up. The newer Ibasso IT00 did peak my interest after the wholesome IT01, so this KBEAR purchase is a gamble (probably helped by wine).

I wanted to test this C12.

ZAX supercedes C12 and ZSX now, in my opinion.

I'll sell you mine!
Oh damn, you're in Brazil.

Yes, it gets really complicated haha

That's good to know. For me C12 lacked a bit of timber, especially in the bass area. All considered, a good purchase.
LARK seems a bit of a gamble.. Will see!
I don't really care about the number of drivers, as my best performer is a single DD.

My BL-01 arrived, solid build and weighted. Not have BL03 anymore ( never heard of bl05, bl05s ), but first impression of BL-01 is good, more transparent sound, wider soundstage. I feel it's an upgrade from BL03

How is the fit? Seems better than the 03 at least.

I see you changed the tips to Azla Sednas. Is it due to bad fit?

better fit than 03. It's better than TRN VX and Tri i3 as well
