ok. I sold off my pixel 4xl so I have some funds to purchase either one top tier bud or a handful of mid/lower tier buds. What models do you want me to buy and compensate?

 

[Sam L]

Got a late start this morning.... but I'm ready to go! I love how this co-working space is empty.

First up in today's bunch is the Qian 39. I think this one compensates better than the Monk lite 120ohm. One of these days I'll have to do a detailed comparison.

How does the walnut f2 have 4.2watts , and how to you use that power?

Yeah, I just heard about the walnut f2 the other day in the discovery thread. For a mobile cmoy amp, I have can't believe it puts out that kind of power for $25. I'm wondering if ASR measured it in the past.

I know @DBaldock9 has one. What's your experience been like?

Perfection.

HP V99 - CAX Black...but they sound a bit "analog". Another direction - I think - moondrop chaconne, maybe fiio em5 ... But in my opinion (if the sound of the E484 works for you) - then the next step is the V99 ... Obviously that’s just my opinion - everyone has different ears and tastes.

How analog sound?

I'm back using the RY4S (HI cable) as Smabat ST10s black gold developed fault on right driver after couple weeks use. I'd totally forgotten how warm these things are, but damn do they sound great for the money and (although I'm generally against EQ) can sound terrific with some adjustments to EQ.

Now the wait begins for return of Smabats to China and replacement. Think I'll be back to compiling more budget buds, even though the Smabats sound really good.

I'd recommend newbsound

I'm listening to the ry4s 300ohm right now, at this very moment! They are warm stock but sadly are a tad congested in the lower mids. But great buds for the price, for sure.

I EQ this way, to increase soundstage and bring better clarity to the lower mids:

31 Hz Gain 7.4 dB
62 Hz Gain -1.9 dB
125 Hz Gain -8.0 dB
250 Hz Gain -3.3 dB
500 Hz Gain 0.5 dB
1000 Hz Gain 1.3 dB
2000 Hz Gain -0.9 dB
4000 Hz Gain 7.9 dB

Always interesting when manufacturers list the FR with this kind of range:

It’s not so much the absolutely small details (chair squeaking) that the thing wants to show - though you can hear it if you’re just paying attention - from the music, but rather a “big picture”. (I'm not a writer - it's hard to describe sound in words.)

I'm curious how they look inside. I saw that HP-V16 has similar look but position of these two tubes are slightly above, on the stem.
Are they used as a vent system or have some other purpose?

Nice space. Now you can work in peace.
"Oh ... what do you have for lunch .... well couple of buds, Monk and RY4S are quite tasty, do U want to try"
I see a sign on the left side of the table. I hope it's not this one

Of course Alex and Golov are there ( is RU_FROST also here at Head-Fi under a different name? I got that impression ).

Nice to hear that we are readen abroad @golov17 @RuFrost
