Hi All, just wanted to put out a notice that we recently had a package lost in shipment with a large number of non retail Frontier products. There has been a report that a listing was seen on head-fi for them. Please be aware and report it to my DM or head-fi admins if you see it.
Stay updated on FIR Audio at their sponsor profile on Head-Fi.

P+/ Medium gain/Tubes - mainly for electronic genres. I use solid state too for a larger stage if it suits the music.any cayin n8ii owners here that have the xe6, what is your preferred setting on cayin
i am using the same settings, going thru tons of ear tips, and now i am liking the softears tips the most as the tightens up the bass and pushes mids more forward with more definition, tip roiling always takes the toll on me after I get an iem, my final experimentation will be with cables, which is going to be tough as i have to buy blindly and hope it will not be super expensive up to 1k usd is my budget.P+/ Medium gain/Tubes - mainly for electronic genres.

Personally I use the Spinfit W1 tips and the Liquid Links Venom cable with XE6. I had a lot of hassles with fit at the start but those tips fit and sound excellent.i am using the same settings, going thru tons of ear tips, and now i am liking the softears tips the most as the tightens up the bass and pushes mids more forward with more definition, tip roiling always takes the toll on me after I get an iem, my final experimentation will be with cables, which is going to be tough as i have to buy blindly and hope it will not be super expensive up to 1k usd is my budget.
i have the w1 tips they are great, but i liked the softears better when it came to the midrangePersonally I use the Spinfit W1 tips and the Liquid Links Venom cable with XE6. I had a lot of hassles with fit at the start but those tips fit and sound excellent.
I wrote a post about the cable here if you want to take a look. The one thing I will point out is that ergonomics with Venom need to be taken into account. It is a fairly heavy/rigid cable so if you were planning to be out walking around with it, it probably would not be the best option. It is more suited to desk listening.i have the w1 tips they are great, but i liked the softears better when it came to the midrange
can u share what you like bout the venom cable vs stock

I like Venom's ergonomics But I preffer more heavyduty cables over those thin, fragile jewellry - i.e. Eletech Prudence.I wrote a post about the cable here if you want to take a look.

It's a long time since I used the stock cable but my memory of it was everything sounding a little veiled and congested.
Hey, yes I quite like it myself but others I have shown it to have compared it to a garden hose so I guess we all have different levels of what is acceptable so it's worth highlighting.I like Venom's ergonomics But I preffer more heavyduty cables over those thin, fragile jewellry - i.e. Eletech Prudence.
Venom ergonomics reminds me slightly a PW Audio No. 10, which also feels very solid.
Yea, I had DX320 for a while and liked amp11 and 12 with XE6 too. A little less of an intense listen compared to N8ii. In fairness, I don't think I've tried XE6 with a source and not liked it.i feel the same too, congested with stock. i will get LL venom to try. i found the xe6 paired with dx320 more pleasing than n8ii, especially the bass is smoother and relax sounding but still keep the bass texture and quantity.
Venom could be safely used to dry a heavy laundry The only thing I'd change is the length - 115cm is quite short, almost too short to have it connected to something in the pocket.Hey, yes I quite like it myself but others I have shown it to have compared it to a garden hose so I guess we all have different levels of what is acceptable so it's worth highlighting.
xe6 is the best bass iem i've ever tried. i used to own the ab1266 tc and the xe6 like a baby tc , the bass quantity is so satisfying. does the LL venom still keep the bass texture and quantity like stock cable, you know?Yea, I had DX320 for a while and liked amp11 and 12 with XE6 too.
