Coming soon…but man is Wordpress a cumbersome affair…

Disclaimer: I won't be reviewing/writing stuff as ToasterBob342, Bangstergride, or Otto Motor...no, it will be under my real name: Jürgen Kraus ("JK"). The blog will also offer information on modding, sound science, measurements, subversive stuff, etc.). And I will ask for return envelopes...wonder whether any respectable company can afford a review without a free "sample" -- and I even measure their stuff for free!

That`s cool!
Do You take in modded IEMs? For example like my IT01 ?

Finally, done the review of both: Hidizs Mermaid MS4 and MS1 IEMs.
Just to remind: both would be started on KS campaign soon and both would have the same connectivity options like 3.5mm cable, 2.5mm/4.4mm balanced cable, USB DAC cable, bluetooth 5.0 cable. Prices are already listed there and seem to be quite a bargain during the campaign.

I wonder if the 300 ish bucks 12BAs nicehck fr12, nicehck nk10, ctz are indeed a safe bet.

We have the moondrop blessing for 350$ on last sale, and more importantly, the new JVC FD-01 with almost the same FR graph of sony ex1000 is said to be a great benchmark for people who tried it.

Now... Talking about the new brand that showed up at linsoul and the Hawaiian crazy guy channel. Fearless audio, it intrigued me because of some things...

First, the exact same cable as my moondrop kanas, wich is a brand that have been reaching fastly a good reputation and, at least to me, seems like something different in the mkt.

Exact same cable as moondrop kanas and blessing.


Now, look at the internals and the attention to detail.

Here we see S4 - the model, written on the BA - and a dumpening filter on the tube



Here you see "s6 rui" written on the BA of the 6 ba model



3 way crossover and Sonion and knowles BAs

Well... Let's watch out.

Edit: Found the website, it's nice but it's Japanese or Chinese.

Here are a brief description of the models.

what is good about the sony ex1000 graph?

It's not because you don't like the sonys that the statement lose it's value, the ex1000 is a common place for benchmarking.

I am just passing a information about one new iem from a trustable brand with a lot of backup of people who tried it And thinking with myself the risks of going blindly on whatever other option.

Sure, but as you say, your statement applies to higher-quality drivers. I was talking of low-quality drivers.

But then again, a good earphone is one that reproduces sound accurately and naturally...which is independent of preference...any colouring will taint a natural sound such as produced by a symphony orchestra. If one needs a different earphone for each genre, then marketing has worked...

Here my latest Japanese earphone...and a good one...without a pronounced upper-midrange hump (see also JVC FD01).

Finally, some information on the Pioneer CH3, I saw a few mentions of it...I thought @B9Scrambler was going to review them at some point. That is interesting, it's like a reverse midrange hump compared to lots of chi-fi offerings. Any more details on it or do I need to wait for your blog to take root?

Glad I`m with Kanas Pro as by graphs and sound signature FD01 is not for me

 

[trumpethead]

It should be genuine if it sound good. Anyone should try those $5 one and confirm if they are legit.

I got a pair of the 5.99 pair from eBay and they are legit based on what I hear and what others have posted about the serial numbers

The CCA C16...I have never heard anything like it. The notes are so thick and defined (especially on well recorded sparser recordings). Little bells, vocal clarity and nuance, the sound of the room, intangibles like being able to identify guitar amps that are being used. Orchestral music, violin tone and strength. In a quiet room and really listening, just amazing.
Is it the 8 driver per side? There is something to it, I will say. Like using a twin or 4x guitar cab vs. a 1x , the notes have girth and focus and weight. The C16 sounds nothing like the iems I've recently bought (DM6, Whizzer Kylin, Kanas Pro) all of which are enjoyable and all of which I would consider, in some some ways, different but equal. This one is kind of blowing my mind right now.
It didn't start out that way, as a caution. It started out like a mid/high juggernaut. So much focused energy in those regions with some sibilance. Thankfully, they calmed down a bit and shows more bass presence and no more sibilant notes. I'm excited to see where it goes from here. I'm about 40 hrs. in....

I am receiving my CCA C16 soon (C10 as well). I am so hyped because of your comment) We'll see if we match in our impressions!

Looks like CCA C16 hype is slowly following C10's footstep. Guess it's probably a matter of time before i'll get it.
