Using turbo on the R8II they sing!

I think its more of the ESTs getting the power it needs and getting the full top end more so than the low end actually changing.

Anyhow, once I got past the mental barrier of high gain on my 1Z, Anni has been inseparable

I tried the C9 with Anni 23 and one thing I really noticed was a change in the bass. It felt more prominent and hit harder. My overall opinion though was that Anni did seem to benefit across the board by using an amp.

Probably, fed 8w per channel and its like having a new iem

I think you meant to say you’ll need a new IEM if you feed them 8W.

I wouldn't be surprised if the bass benefits to be honest. I focused mostly on the treble in my testing and that did have a bigger impact. Off low gain on the 1Z it felt a bit bottom end loaded.

I tried it last week. It's a very good cable and I kind of want one now.

Also compared to Elysian X and I think the cable pairing is unironically a better pairing for Anni than X - where X may want a bit more smoothness injected into it (for my preferences)

Tell me how it pairs.

I bought a Venom back when Musicteck started stocking it and had it on the Odin And don't really think Anni needs more of what it offers.

Just got the annihilator 2023, is it normal for the pentaconn ear connector spin easily when you try to turn it? the left side can be turned easily compared to right side. though the cable on the left side is really hard to remove than the right.

 

[Deathman666]

Both of mine turn really easily. But if they work well, I think it doesn't matter, and I wouldn't bother with it

Yes, they spin easily, but it's a good thing because I can angle the cable as I want in the best comfortable way for me.

I appreciate the responses, my ears are now in peace . Thank you guys!

If anyone has a chance, try the Azla Sedna Light Short eartips with the Annihilator 2023. You ears will thank you, such a great pairing with excellent balance.

The hard part is fitting them into the wide bore nozzle of the Anni but there are tricks on how to do that if you search up this thread.

I did: the bass masked the wonderful trebles, so not a good synergy for me.

W1 or CP145 (for a more ethereal presentation) here, UM's stock tips are also pretty great.
