I see that. You use very nice parts and I've noticed that you pay a lot of attention to cables.
I assume you procure these parts locally?

I like Docomo shells. Foer me personaly this is one of the most comfortable shells
and and I am very pleased with how PK1 "red film" and PK2 driver sound in them.
This is my PK1 150ohm "redfilm" with Furukawa cable

actually cable is part of what i want them to sound. its not really that i like premium stuffs. its just that docomo stock sound is warm to dark, installed spc to make them less warmer.

here is TY Hi-z 32 ohms version 2.
modded it with black OFC wire w/ ranko plugs.
basic build, better sound

Ranko plugs are really good. They require silicon "tail" because large opening on the back.Once I bought few copy of Ranko pluugs and half of hem broke. The isolation on pinouts was bad

Yarbo plugs are also good. GY-35GS-L is really massive. Only 3.5mm. It will be nice to see Pentaconn in this form :wink:

Hello,
I have an Auglamour RX-1, I am looking for Your suggestions how to tune it.
This is a zinc alloy earbud. Two vents (2x2 small drills) are on the bottom around 5 and 7'o clock position.
I have opened it because one vent seemed to be blocked on one side, and found the cable insulation broken too.
I will either recable it or cut the cable sorter for quick repair.

As You can see the front is badly covered with glue, and the driver air holes are covered with a sticky, horseshoe shaped foil, which looks like silicon to me.
It definitely needs a cleanup.

I think this is a good earbud for further tuning, spacious shell, which I find attractive and comfortable.
The front pops back fairly well to the shell, allowing changes without glue.
What is your impression? What can I try? (I have no measuring equipment but my ears).
