1) EE CIEMs (and the EarWerkz models they made prior) seem to be unusually sensitive to hiss. Tube headphone amps tend to hiss more than SS amps. Thus, a bad match in general, though some exceptions might exist.

 
That new Woo audio WA8 seems to have a very low noise floor by all accounts.

Hi, I have the Legend Omega under Earwerkz. Can I request Empire Ears to convert it to universal ones? Thank you and more power!

Which one of the empire ears would you guys say has the biggest bass impact, including sub bass. Which one is closest to the Legend Omega bass profile?

A great read, @MikePortnoy! And a very interesting comparison to the SE5R - an IEM I find mysterious and intriguing.

If you're looking for the biggest bass, then you're looking at either the Hermes or Athena. I personally prefer the Athena over the Hermes. I've never heard the legend omega though unfortunately.

Ya, thanks. That's basically what I want. Any other suggestions of iems that have as big or bigger bass than athena while maintaining the rest of the sound profile?

In terms of the current Empire lineup that's as bassy as you get. Unless you looking for something from a different company?

Thank you so much for the feedback on the use of a tube amp with the EE IEMS. They're really amazing iems... First time I'm dipping my toes into the IEM world. Havent even turned on my hifi system once after these iems landed. They're that good. I'll heed your advice and stick to low impedence solid state amping. Take care.
