You're a very very bad person, my friend. A journey in the DIY thread could end in divorce, you know...
No man, there are a lot of good guys there, married of course.
You can also get advice on how to make your DIY model that you can give as a gift to your lady:gift:
That's not a bad thing, right?:wink:

I concur with all of the above. Love the Shoonth ESEP-01BL sound, but not so much the cable. Below is an image of me holding up my pair. Just a little bit stiff lol! But that doesn't stop me from using them every night in bed.
I see its defying gravity lol.

also the chaconne will be around 280 after coupons/before tax during the ali summer sale: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/33040362551.html

in the meantime somebody convince me to remove the yincrow rw-2000 and x6s from my cart now that i have the chaconne..
the Chaconne and those 2 are very different...no reason not to have them as well. But the X6 is the better complement to the Chaconne. So at least get that one.

Have you ever listened to DIY Vido?
If you haven't, why are you so confident in recommending the more expensive X6 instead of DIY Vido?
No I havent heard the Vido nor will I get it. Not a fan of paying 10x more with the damn import fee. At least when I ordered the X6, I got a lot of other products along with it, so the import fee didnt feel as bad then...

BTW, would you be interested in the Yincrow X6 with MMCX support?
I feel it's closest to the original X6 when I use OFC cables, and when I use silver plated cables, I feel the soundstage is wider, so changing cables with MMCX is fun.

Your mod?
So you said that DIY Vido is similar to X6? Do you think that they use the same driver with different tuning?:thinking:

Also, RY4S. MMCX mod is very simple to do, but to be honest it seems very ugly (disrupts aesthetics).
This type of mmcx implementation is good starting point for MX500 shells.

Yes, that's my mod.
I think that they use the same driver with different tuning.
Apparently they had to start from something.
But the price difference is fascinating, maybe they use some kind of very expensive cotton filters we don't know about :wink:

IMO it doesn't matter if they use the same driver as long as the x6 justifies the higher price by sounding better.

Another example would be with the tanchjim oxygen vs the blon 03, same driver but like a 10x price difference between them and they sound drastically different.
