Pulled the trigger on a brown Blon BL03 (and also the Tin T3, because what the hey).
Lets hope it lived to the reviews, and me liking it enough to keep it.

@ShakeThoseCans In that first post, the way you were describing the weirdness in the stage and vocals I wondered if there could be a phase issue. Have you done a phase test?
Also you keep referring to them as $32 IEMs. We have only gotten them that cheap because they are being discontinued and that is a closeout price. They are actually a $95 IEM and I feel that they do compete with others at that price.
Apparently, I like them both the same but for different reasons. Both are excellent choices! So, if you like how a dynamic driver sounds with low sub-bass, luscious and spacious midrange, and transparent-like treble, then your best bet is to get the BLON BL03. But, if you're interested on how a hybrid might sound like with dynamic drive sub-bass which carries a punchy sonic-like signature and raw but fresh sounding BA midrange followed by exceptionally detailed BA treble, then your best bet is to go with the CCA C12. I don't see any weakness' on both other than the fit. So, in this case it's a personal choice that I can't make for you. Honestly, if you ask me? They are both incredibly balanced with extended lows and highs, but sound different making them unique to each other. So, I would personally suggest to save up for both, IMHO!Thank you for your impressions. I'm trying to decide between the BLON BL-03 and the CCA C12. Which one do you prefer? And could you compare their strengths and weaknesses?
Guys. 0.75mm or 0.78 two pin for Blon? What’s the one that fits MOST generic two pins?

Yup. You have it.Overall, I think I am just being whiny about the soundstage. I guess I prefer huge soundstages, including ones that are 'tall' or 'high.' The CNT-1 is not a seriously flawed IEM, it has minor flaws and 'average' performance (for a $90 DD IEM) in a number of areas that I complained about. The only real concern, for me, is how the bass sometimes gets a little too big for its britches, and gets a little independent of the treble.
Cheers. Me too - the copper $8 one - but it didn’t specify either size when I bought it. Just 2-pin. Fits fine.It is a 2 pin 0.78.
I use a cheap 8 core NiceHCK cable with mine and it's great.
What’s that silver thing in your right hand? It looks like you have a webbed hand.

A bit of a problem with "silver plated" cables is that they are mostly "silver- coloured" plated copper cables - tin, nickel alloys and silver alloys commonly used . Alloys have higher conductivities than pure metals, so coating pure copper wires even with sterling silver (925/1000) makes them worse conductors (if it matters).Cheers.

But I’d like to get a silver plated one for my second Blon...and there were two size choices from TRN.
