  What we've all been waiting for: THE NEW CUSTOM ART WEBSITE IS UP.
 
www.thecustomart.com
 
And DO check http://thecustomart.com/shop/ you're in for a treat in terms of IEM personalization preview!
 
Congrats to Piotr and his team!!!


A word of advice for Piotr regarding how they display prices.
 
They should explicitely say that the EU price includes VAT and that the o-EU price doesn't include taxes, otherwise people won't immediately get why it's more expensive in EU than in the rest of the world. Idiotproof website = WIN.

Thanks for suggestion
It's stated in terms and conditions of the shop. I don't think we can make the shop disply something like "(tax excl.)" after the price. I will check.

Terms and conditions are useful and mandatory, but not always the first thing people read, hence my comment.

The new website looks great, a job well done. Now it's just a question of keeping it updated and bug free :)
I'm way overdue with the Harmony 8.2, but I published the 8.2 review earlier today on HFN, you can find it by clicking here.
 
Let me know if there are questions or remakrs and I'll do my best to answer them here or on the site.

Yes that's not easy for sure. There is no clear "better", they "only" sound different, regardless from technical aspects, if the general sound signature does not fit, I really doubt you would settle even if the other IEM deliver i.e. a larger soundstage/imaging compared to the other IEM, which has the sound signature you prefer.

Congrats!

Honestly I still can't decide whether I should go "all out" and get either the 64 Audio A12, Empire Ears Zeus, or go for your Harmony H8.2.

Well they definitely all sound different, depends on your prefered sound signature I also reckon you'd be fine with either of those.
 
  What do you think of measurements? does it match yours?

They are not super accurate unfortunately, they match mine in around 200Hz-3kHz range

Different "beasts" I would say.
 
If you're after extreme details and linearity, Zeus should please you. But be prepared for a "wall of sounds", I had trouble to process everything that was thrown at me when demo-ing it, especially in the mids since I'm more accustomed to flat V than really flat signatures. It take a bit of time to adjust.
H8.2 is a bit more organic with a bit less mids, more bass, and smoother treble (most natural cymbals I've heard so far). Very flat V if I caricature a little. More lively than Zeus in my opinion, but it's mostly a matter of taste.
Can't comment much on A12, my demo time was way too short.

To avoid going further off topic I'll PM you.
