How do the Ortofon tips compare to the stock Comply tips? I read that you found the Ortofon tips on the R2A to have the best results.

Orto tips give you a better stage and clarity.

is there a specific size for the connection for the silicone or will any of the ortofon, spinfit work?

Unless someone can correct me, standard size. I would have thought spinfits were the same Spiral dots etc.

Its strange to me to see so much negative feedback on these. Maybe they're very source particular, but out of my Alien and Geekout they sound very good and I'm not hearing any of the treble issues people are complaining about. Maybe I don't have ToTL equipment to compare to but these do very well in reference to the Aurisonic Rockets, the Focal Spirit Pros and the Mikros 90s.

I agree, but my thoughts are that they simply reveal the music as it's meant to be heard. They really do make all the other headphones I have heard sound artificial and fake. What really impressed me about the R2A is the speed, they are one step ahead all the time, effortless. Whoever said they get muddled in an earlier post is well off the mark, they eat the most tricky track for breakfast. I love mine, going to start tip rolling tonight because the comply are too fiddly.

It's probably more a case of them not meeting peoples' reeeally high expectations than anything else.

When you are expecting a level of sound which is competing with high end customs (from reviews), yes quite correct. What is more alarming is for me is that they are miles away from what I have already (non customs)

As I said before, I don't think the R2a are all that great directly from smartphone - in my case htc one m8. They just don't get loud enough and sound dull and boring.

But with an amp in tow - even one as humble as this little Fiio E6 - I am playing some choice Miles as I type this and wow, just sounds effortless and natural. Same for other types of music I have tried.

P.s. So glad I removed that tombstone splitter. What were they thinking?

Thanks for everyones help so far, looking at the spinfit & ortofon tips i can see a couple model for the spinfit CP100 or CP800 and for the ortofon EQ5 and EQ7.  Which model would be best and has anyone a link preferably in the UK to buy.  If not uk anywhere that will post here?

The CP series is the SpinFit Muse version, the Saroundbi RD-01 Donguri is the Japanese version

Thanks

Thanks

The Japanese version is slightly better. http://jaben.net/shopping2/SpinFit-Eartip.html

or just send @dopaminer a PM

If you'd like to try the Muse version, send an email to http://www.mingo-hmw.com/home/goods.php?id=3100

Also worth mentioning is Ostry tip (OS100, OS200, OS300). They have a reinforced core and reduce sibilance impact and cheaper than Spinfit

Which of the CP100 or CP800 would fit the Flares?

Be careful if you try the Ortofon tips they are smaller than any other I have seen for the same rated sizes. Example: there large would be the equal of medium in almost all other brands.
