But to put things in perspective I'm enjoying my DIY PK2's tonight.

Willy and I have been PM'ing regarding ordering some Willsounds, and I have decided on the MK2.

I think I would like to order another one from him but not sure which one. From what I've read the MK3 is a little Less V shaped which might be a good contrast to the MK2. I mentioned I prefered treble NOT rolled off much, so he suggested the MK2 or MK3 or MK150, but I cannot find for impressions about the MK150.
I am not a basshead so the MK1 doesn't sound like it would be my preference.

Also, one of the PK's (pk16 or pk32) sound appealling due to the small shape for comfort, but they might be a compromise to the sound? Willy said the pk32 was warmer than the pk16, with the pk16 having a brighter signature which might be more up my alley?

Any recommendations for one to order along with the MK2? TIA!

just to confuse or enable you. Wilsound actually told me that he uses MK1 as a daily driver

If any of you want to make all of your earbuds sound fantastic off of your computer (or at least, as fantastic as they are gonna sound), get the Massdrop Grace SDAC ($100) and the Monoprice Monolith Liquid Spark (by Cavalli) ($100). 100% recommended!

I've been a bit late to the "decent desktop dac and amp" party (I'm cheap lol), but both the SDAC and the Spark are amazing audio gizmos. And when the price is is taken into consideration, my mind is blown. On one hand I am glad that there is such great sounding gear these days for such a good price. On the other hand, I wish that I had made this kind of jump earlier (although it would have cost a lot more, even a few years ago).

I'm sure that there are other great sounding dac + amp combos out there for decent prices, but this combo is working for me!

@seanc6441 - Which type of Hole Punch are you using for modifying earbud foams?
I just bought a hole punch from Office Depot, and it only cuts a partial hole.

David, use a soldering iron with a small tip. It’s easier to control the the size of the holes and faster. You can do like 10 of them in a minute.

I was using a precise scissors to cut them. A hold punch is too big I find.

Someone recommend using a leather punch and another recommended a metal pen.

I haven't been using or making these kinds of foam lately though so it's been awhile since I made them.
