Thanks. It's probably one of my biggest pet peeves with regards to earphones.

Real speakers move. Just like subwoofers. I believe they're supposed to.

No doubt. But there are also ways to mitigate it, like we see in 64 Audio's products.

Even Crinacle mentions it as something that is unacceptable.

The Grand Maestro is literally a Maestro SE with a vented 'open' module installed standard, exactly like 64 audio's apex modules (it also has a toggle switch to vocal mode, but that's a different discussion). It looks close enough, that if I owned any apex modules I would be really tempted just to try them outright. In any case, the standard open module equalizes pressure in the same way and should be equally effective at reducing driver flex

I myself don't particularly mind the effect in traditional IEMs (a good seal is COZY). That said, even with the vacuum tight custom shell seal, I have not experienced any driver flex on my Grand Maestro with standard module installed.

Are there any air vents (holes) on the Mini? If yes is taping them changing sound? I still rock Sonys ex800st, just interested. Thx !!

Man I love my Sony ex800st. I've been rocking them with G5, cayin n3pro and my kaei tube amp. The timbre and realism of these are insane Imho. Not even my kilobuck iems can compete when it comes to sounding natural. They're a software engineer or anybody working from home dream for long listening sessions


On the other hand, I hear the Grand maestro se is the goat of iems. Bggar says it's the best thing smoking right now. Better than Traillii, elysian x etc....

I believe he was talking about the Maestro SE and not the Grand Maestro but it still speaks volumes to what FatFreq is accomplishing

I the happy owner of Fatfreq's Musician V2 and have been eager to hear what they can do with a dynamic driver.

Curiosity took the best of me (as usual). Baby subwoof’ ordered.

Looking forward to putting them against my Z1R, EST50 and E5000.

I don't think that's a good idea. We already have a huge bass shelf with the Mini.

EX800ST needed the tape mod to get the bass up there.

DHL says my Mini will arrive Next Tuesday.

K7 is a good choice with 6 times the power and THX amp stage. I'm thinking about getting one for my desktop computer as well.

Maestros take some power because of all the damping, I'd keep an eye out for a 2 pin, 4.4 mm aftermarket cable as well to get that extra balanced juice!
