I'm thinking about ordering an 8mm punch for leather. It's actually cheaper than the Office Depot paper hole punch I bought today.

Wow just saw some on aliexpress that can punch 1mm-5mm (a 5 set). Might buy it soon. Would make very clean multi hole foams.

Yes, that is another great one as well

Just had a listen to both Svara-L and Toneking TO200, Svara-L is warmer with thicker bass, TO200 is brighter with tighter bass. most surprising thing is they both need the same power yet the Svara-L is 32 ohm and the TO200 is 200 ohm

Svara have that much less sensitivity?

I was considering ordering them but I'll probably only be using them with my phone or a bluetooth cable/bt20.

I noticed the guy who sold the Kubes now has some ek2's up for sale.
I can't recommend them because of my experience but since others have enjoyed them I thought someone might be interested in trying them out.

They are a bit larger housing than the KUBEV1 for sure, but with a decent shirt clip works good here.
Shirt clip seems a must.
Good laid back massive analog type sound.
Ask waynesworld

oooh there's a few BLACK V1's now again.

I took out the good old Monk plus tonight. They have no sub bass and the highs are rolled off, but there is something really special about them. All the details they have in that range is presented fully and congruently, no instrument or sound pushing another under it, and it has the most natural sounding soundstage and imaging. I love going back to it from time to time to reset things a little. They are great for washing your pallet from V-shaped buds.

That's the exact same hole puncher I have and had problems inserting the foams. I see you did a little modification to lift that metal place holder...

Yup. Easy peasy! 1 minute to snip 4 donuts, but 1 freaking hour to fit them on the earbuds! Still struggling with the last piece (2 donuts per bud).

EDIT: All done, whew!

I bought an Office Depot hole punch yesterday ( https://www.officedepot.com/a/products/719521/Office-Depot-Brand-Single-Hole-Punch/ ) -

- and it only cuts about 80% of a circle. I was hoping for a clean 100% circle punch.

Try punching the foam when it's against some card or thick paper under it.

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!

I had one comment about Will using the MK1 as a daily driver from @snip3r77. Anybody else have any input?

Pk32 was underwhelming, mk2 was very good. I'd stick to his mx500 buds on that basis. Maybe get the 150 as someone suggested it was slightly mid forward, whuch contrasts the mk2 slightly mid recessed sound.

The puncher do not have deep enough travel to completely push out the foam piece. I have to repeat a few punches to get over 90% clean cut. If only a single punch, at least 20%will remain attached.

Try punching the foam when it's against some card or thick paper under it.

That's what I do and as I hold the the punch down I rotate the cardboard a bit to make sure I cut through all of the foam.
