CHIFI LOVE Thread-A never ending IEM-Heaphones-DAP-Dongles Sound Value Quest

Yeah, making A-B comparaison can sure kill musical fun, in begining of my chifi comparaison I barely lost my mind with this, as my ears was becaming severe judge that always underline details in sound rendering, I finally get rid of this, can make appear and disappear the grumpy audiophile judge now hehe Still, I have a kind of soundsignature iem bank in my back mind, so, if a track do sound too sibilant or lack bass with some IEM, audiophile judge came knocking at my door and tell me: bro, trow this one in punishment corner and take this better one for the music you listen right now.

At first, with memory foam I wasn't utterly impress and feel sound was congested, it was my mind that wasn't ready for a different sound presentation, soundstage is perhaps more in your head but gain in deepness IMO Anyway, now I like both soundsignature so its a win-win for me.

By the way, what audio source you use with the Z5000?????
Exactly, if I start comparing sound signatures or iems I, as you state, tend to lose my mind. Memorizing sound signatures is very difficult. I'm always trying to make the 'grumpy audiophile judge' disappear (and if possible I'd like to kill him) as he prevents me enjoying music. There are still periods this devil sits too long on my left shoulder and keeps the singing angels on my right shoulder away. Music should be front and center. That's why I was so enthralled by Z5000 as the singing angels came back instantly and scared the judge away. I hope they are willing to stay for quite some time and keep on pouring this sweet liquid in my ears. Sorry for all this silly imagery.

I'll give the foams another chance. I have faith in your judgment. :wink:

Although I have some Fiio amps I prefer to listen, because it's convenient, from my smartphone: in my case a Lenovo Vibe X3 (there is a Wolfson DAC built in and extra power for amplification) which works quite fine with Z5000. I can imagine there's better available. I don't like to use a dap though as I'm an avid Spotify user and don't like to juggle with file transfers. Then I would also have to carry another device.

About ASE from Russian forum:
Initial impressions - earphones are very "musical"
Later impressions - bass is indistinct, loose, smeared ... Arvicka is much better, but may be it is a fitting problem. ASE sound is boooring..,

Note that the price of MDK ASE is almost the same as EZ ASK in china. wich could be found for 18$ in ali. Consistent with the price ASE was listed some time ago, 20$. Now ali sellers inflated the price for around 35$.

Strangest thing happened to my RT-1. Suddenly, one side became much quieter and there is no isolation on that side. Tried the silliest of things and blew with my mouth in the nozzle - on the good side you can't really do it and on the quiet one air moved freely to the outside through the IEM.
As I suspected, something is wrong with the tubing that goes from BA/DD and something is leaking somewhere. What do you guys think, is it time to open them up and try to find a solution? Or something less invasive?

Shaking it, I can feel something moving slightly inside. It must be that BA feel out of it's tube for some reason and is now free to explore the vast indoors of an IEM shell. Will post photos if I manage to open them up, so far it's been impossible.
