Hmm, I think so long as you don't have any comfort or fit issues (or mysterious failing driver) with the L4 you probably don't need the 9T. That is unless you crave a more analogue sound or slightly more forward midrange. To be honest it's not easy to find anything under $200 that is outright better than the A4 IMO. If I were to choose something to complement it though, it would be the 9T or Hifi Boy OS V3.

I had a great 2am listening session last night with my Nine Tail... with the silver/silver filters that you like. Accidentally stayed up until almost 5am. Oops.

New bud arrived this noon... so today will be a bud day.

The LZ A4 is an amazing IEM for sure. I think the 9T comes very close to it in SQ despite the price difference. What makes the 9T special IMO is the single dynamic driver that gives it such a natural and coherent sound.

Absolutely agree. The 9T has that magical something that makes them incredible to listen to for enjoyment. They are a little slow and a little blurred compared to BA set-ups, but they have such a pleasant fullness and richness to them. Weird as it is, the 9T has convinced me to buy a tube amp. I want that particular quality of sound in my full-size headphones!

I dream about a Nine Tail II that has a big-diameter beryllium driver and a shell with black PVD coating...

LOL that is the cable I'm using as well.

Another member is having fit issues with his FLC8s, he's gonna borrow my AKG N40 and if he finds it more suitable and I find the FLC8s to my liking and we trade then I'll be moving my Triton8 to my TK9T. I'm gonna be testing that cable on it tonight probably, see if I find any differences in sound

I am happy with the cable that came with my Nine Tail... one of my nicer cables.

I was too, but mine came slightly damaged and ended up being uncomfortable. Also wanted to go balanced.
