  I'm going to post this question here also just to get an idea of peoples opinions~
 
KZ HDS1 or ROCK Zircon 
 
no specific genres...just as an affordable IEM...

Balanced = HDS-1
Fun = Rock Zircon
 
Both compliment each other. At the prices offered tomorrow (11.11), get both if your wallet can afford it.

yea..that's true. Coz I never ordered from other sites and I didn't want to take chance. It anyways takes long time to reach to Mumbai. At least this seller is trustworthy. I'm not saying that Gearbest is bad but I didn't want to challenge my bad luck

I received mine (the white ones) from Gearbest yesterday, and I ordered mine on the 19th of October.
 
Everything is working as intended and the transaction was smooth for me since they allow Paypal.

Hmm for some reason the less expensive A2 has disappeared on AE, leaving only the $85 one.
 
Edit: Seems like it was taken off for a short while, back up now. False alarm.

I was looking at the Somic V2 and as someone earlier pointed it out, looks almost the same as the Somic MH463. Would anyone care to comment on how they sound? 
 
How about compared to the Takstar HI2050?

I recently decided to replace the elderly Quad 77 Integrated Amplifier on my UK Bedroom system (I suffer from a nasty form of arthritis that sometimes has me in bed for a few days at a time and I cannot even hold a book, so I listen to BBC Radio 3 and 4). I thought of buying a tube integrated amplifier. I managed to borrow a Yaquin MC-13S (4 x EL34 output tubes) integrated amp for a week from a friend. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of construction both outside and inside. The soldering appeared to be very neat and well done. The sound was very pleasant with no audible distortion and barely detectable hum, playing to my DALI Royal Menuet Mk.II speakers. However in the end I decided against it. I recalled why I changed from a Quad 22/Mk2 valve system to a solid state 33/303 in the late 1960's. I like my sound very precise and crisp, with sharp transients. The sound from the Yaquin was too soft, rich and warm for my taste. I eventually bought a new/old stock Naim Nait 5-2. Once I had solved the horrendous mains hum problem by running an earth link wire from the Beresford Caiman DAC to the Naim (Naim use a weird two level earth system, which Stan Beresford alerted me to) and a few days to break in, I am delighted with it. It produces the cool, precise sound I like, with very crisp transients. A worthwhile upgrade from the 77. The Naim also works well as a headphone amplifier, with a front ¼" jack socket, playing to my AKG 495NC headphones with the NC turned off.
