I have been doing a 4 way comparison featuring
1. KBEAR Diamond
2. Tin T4
3. KZ BA10
4. CCA CA16
I have to say that the CA16 acquitted itself very well. Its sound falls somewhere between the Diamond and the T4. The BA10 is a touch more forward and fast and has a wonderful immediacy. The T4 has the best soundstage, and a very extended treble. The Diamond is warmer and more V shaped with a nice timbre. The CA16 seems to have a little bit of all the rest and is going up in my estimation. It does need a bit more power than the others, though. I am very pleased with it.
I have been considering the BA10, since there seems to be some seriously die hard fans of it.
I was very underwhelmed by the original C16 (not CA16). The C16 low end is way too anemic for my tastes. And that is what everyone seems to swear is so good about the BA10. I do love me some nice fat bass
