i reallly like how smooth the nameless is

Yes i have the older st-10 but anyway im trying this one to see if i get any improvements or not
ah, the Nameless eq really, really well. Use this and you might find your appetite satified (for now). One of my favorite compensated buds.

Thanks ill test it out later, how did you manageg to get to the target curve on your earbuds? Do you have measure equipment or something?
I measure my buds then run autoeq to compile a variety of eq files that are normalized to test curves that I've manually plotted based off of user input and experimentation.

*edit**
will you be running wavelet or peace/apo?

Im running wavelet
oh, you're in for a surprise with the nameless then. after you load the wavelet file, click on the graph and set the eq strength to 50% to start.

*edit*
I encourage you to share your observations in the test curve thread since I'm pondering what changes I will introduce in version 1.6. Thanks!

Target Curve v1.5 for the Faaeal Snow Lotus 1.0+ Commemorative Edition

These buds were my first pair, mainly because they are readily available in my area on Amazon Prime ($13.99 including pretty fast delivery). I've mentioned this before. I'm generating two options for each version release -- a "bass" version and a "neutral" version. Interestingly, the differences are subtle but noticeable upon critical listening.

Funny thing about getting to this point after 9 months of experimenting, there's one simple conclusion: the FR for buds from 20hz to 1k should fundamentally be flat, with some variation in a bass shelf depending on personal taste.

LOL I should of just started with headphone targets in the beginning... stupid me...

Even with a flat 20-1khz FR, there's still plenty of bass.

**edit**
I'm going to hold off on uploading files because I have no way to track if anyone is actually using them and hence gather feedback. I'll put up a web page soon so I can track download counts and consolidate information so new users don't have to hunt all over the tread to get caught up on what these target curves are all about.

private message me if you want the files, I'm happy to send them over to you as long as you give feedback (can be simple as, "I hate it." "It's ok" "This is awesome!.").

The hardware specification is the same between OG and C-Edition
The only difference is in the cable. Commemorative edition has the same cable as FAAEAL Rosemary

Speaking of FAAEAL, are you planning to make a compensation file for FAAEAL Datura Pro.
It’s a shame they don’t sound as good as they look. The driver has potential but is not very well tuned.

Do you have a link for where you saw that graph?

I can plot it and build a file for you.

**edit**
I'm curious about how the datura pro sounds compensated as well. I've had my eye on it for some time.

Today's mobile listening setup.

I will be spending a good deal of time in the morning with my headphones, H6 1st gen, then move on to the Faaeals. I compensate the headphones to oratory1990 curve and use them as my main reference when I'm tweaking my earbud target curves.

Hello, which amplifier is that small one? I can't quite see its name. Where can I get it?
Thank you.

Pico amp w/ dac option. It's an old product and the dac isn't hi res but it puts out good, clean power for such a small package. It's sold on headamp.com
