I personally own the IE600 currently, Have had a brief experience with the Rapt Go too. You can ask me any questions or queries among the two.

I am interested in this as well. Maybe some comments re:
1.Resolution
2.Overall tuning
3.Significant stand outs in any particular quality over the other.

Also whether the added treble energy of the ie600 is significant enough for warning for hook x users.

Just picked these up, they sound wonderful! Tested particularly with a recent recording of the Chopin Ballades. I studied piano, and this music, for many years, and I’ve never heard an iem with as realistic an overall tonal balance as this one! Truly revelatory, I can almost tell what piano they are played on.

One, hopefully small, niggle: one of the earpieces seems to rotate very easily on its Fidelity+ MCX connector. Is this acceptable, or something to worry about and return on? I can very easily get them returned and exchanged if needed, just don’t want to go through the bother if it’s not necessary. I’ve got other iems (Shure SE series) where one piece rotates more easily than the other which have lasted through regular use for over a decade.

Let me know your thoughts on this; I appreciate all the expertise here.

Had the same with mine when I got them, also thought something was wrong. If you change the cable to the 4.4, likely the other cable will bind.

Mine loosened up over time and now L and R rotate the same.

Long story short. It's normal.

Okay cool, thank you; that’s what I was hoping. It’s a very reliable, precision connection (I looked up the company and the component), so I’m relieved to hear it’s fine. Will love these for years to come.

Disconnecting and connecting it a couple of times will also loosen it up :)

what's the best cable for IE600 today?

I prefer the Cadmus more to the Eros S for IE600. Cadmus brings a tighter bass with smoother treble. Eros S brings so much more details but Treble is a bit snappy for me with that cable. I love my Eros S with my Softears RSV and my friends Monarch MK2.
