Apparently, what happens in the sound science subforum doesn’t stay in the sound science subforum. Lol. More than anything, it was posted in sound science as an invitation for others to reproduce my findings. I think the result sounds lovely, but that could just be the peculiar way I hear things, crowd-pleasing Harman IE target notwithstanding. Anyway, why bring this up in Crinacle’s excellent thread? It seems off topic. If anything, it belongs in a thread dedicated to budget IEMs, or IEM mods. Or maybe it should stay in sound science until the result can be verified.
I really enjoyed the read. I feel burn-in is different from what people think it really is, due to auditory memory being unreliable it take those 100s of hours to get the true impression people are hearing from IEMs. Similar to how we develop muscle memory I believe.
@crinacle More articles like those. Burn-in and iem technology stuff (N8). Good research, and interesting read! Maybe the next one is on iem measurement rigs?
Really enjoyed the N8 review, thank you! I continue to be very happy with mine which I purchased some time ago, I think it has the plate+pinhole covering the DD, although it could be foil (I don't see much wrinkling that would normally appear on foil) I don't get much mid-bass muddiness if any. The bass on mine sounds more like Periodic Be than Campfire Vega if that means anything. The midrange and top end are much more balanced than either of those universals though (not rolled off like the Be and not peaky like the Vega). I imagine there is a lot of unit to unit variation with these due to the variations of internal volume size? Admittedly, I am a basshead. Anyway, keep up the good work.
