Hi, I've got about 80 hours in on Stark and they sound great no issues at all. The best part is the bass solid deep and powerful when listening to heavy metal I'm not left wanting for more bass. Mids sound just right clear and precise. Highs are articulate and detailed without being shrill. The sound stage is high, deep and average width with excellent separation and placement these truly are TOTL iems.

Hi @Virtu Fortuna , what kind of eartips did you use? I share some points in your comparison but did not find the mids were thin or weird in the tonality. Clear yes, but full with great accuracy.

Hi. Double and Triple Flange tips.

Interesting, I found the mids to blend well with the mix, and the overall tonality to be spot on. If anything it was the bass at first that caught me off guard.

I do share the remark from @Rollk2 .. I did not find the mid recessed at all .. it must be a matter of taste as i usually do not like mid centric or exaggerated w shape tuning with foward mid which tends to dim the Z axis or otherwise said to limit depth perception according to the records .. IMHO

As earlier mentioned the change in the stark after 150hrs burning is quite huge and compared to the canary I compared for the third time .. the stark as a similar soundstage and -as far as my preference goes for acoustic jazz and classical- the stark as better details on mid and far better texture .. I would say the mids fowardness is about the same

@Virtu Fortuna how would you rank the stark against the NIO you recently reviewed ? Without having demoed it I would assume they would be more or less competing in a same category .. having red that NIO are stemming from the N8 with powerful bass and big depth soundstage ? Thanks

It's been stated in this thread that the Stark is very tip dependent which I find to be true. Had been using Final audio E type tips to good success, but decided to try SednaEarfit XELASTEC tips and WOW!!! what a difference! The xelastec tips really opened up the sound stage made the sound way more dynamic and increased bass and bass slam also a better separation of sound. These tips are a bit pricey but well worth a try. I think they're a perfect match for the Stark.

 

[Stu Paddasso]

Oh, I forgot to mention that the material of these tips feels a little tacky so they stay in the ear really well.

Just received my XELASTEC L size .. you are totally right : better grip, better separation, better sound tightness, better bass.. these are definitely my Eartips henceforth !!! I didn’t have to scale down compared to my other tips . A great product

Glade you like them

 

[MATWIN94]

The big advantage keeping L size for me is that the tip manages a great grip at the beginning of the ear and I don’t have to shove too far . And what an improvement on bass and separation IMHO
