  Does anyone know if there will be a sale on the FLC8S? I saw that LMUE had a sale on black friday, and that there has been chatter about a sale coming soon on these? Would love to try them out.

Forrest said that they had some negative impact with recent sales which I can understand. Best bet for cheaper is to buy used. Black friday or christmas are the only days I expect a big sale.

It's the most analytical "filter"

 

I don't know about you, but red, gray, no filter sounds very muffled to me. Turned into something completely different as in a step down in overall resolution. Maybe you mean no filters at all for all 3?

To my ears, as I was playing around with my old Spinfit tips and comparing with my current use of spiral dots, I find the Spinfits slightly more mellow sounding with a very slight bit of muffling on the miss. This is especially apparent on female vocals.
This could be due to the way my ear canals are shaped and of course YMMV.

On the Gunmetal blue filter, I quite like it with red and Grey combo but the Gold is just so special when it comes to vocals especially Diana Krall, Christina Grimmie, Karen Carpenter, Lana del Rey just to name a few

Gold is surely something. I wish you could have the lovely mids along with treble extension like the gun blue. I'm not sure if that's possible, but it would be really nice

We asked Forrest and his reply was to remove the filter in the middle of the Gold nozzle haha
I'll just have to live it, not like it's terrible

seems like there are many treble heads here

I have no idea how to achieve that. Don't want to damage any filter, I guess I'll just have to live with it.

How does bass compare to pinnacle 1

if you go for bass, its flc8s, very addictive and pulsating; treble wise, the p1 extension is better.

Still can't believe how this little IEM humbles some of the big boys.... 

 
 
Like someone posted recently, I've settled on the stock combo of filters: grey/grey/gold. Smooth, detailed, and just right... And I'm using Sony old school hybrid tips. Fit was really tricky for me (angle of nozzle doesn't seem to line up very well with my ear canals, and the right side especially wants to work back out), so it took a lot tip trials to find something to work in an ideal way.

Im gonna try grey red and gun metal.
Used to be gold.

Agree with the angle of the nozzle. Took me a long time to get the right angle, especially for the right side! Haha just something about the right huh.

Take the red out and try grey for ULF, Then none + none. Thats it.

So I recently got in the Shanling M5 for testing and was asked how it sounds with my trusty FLC8S. The answer in one word: freakingfantastical!!!

Did some back and forth between M5 and X7, and to my ears, M5 was just killing X7. If y'all get a chance to give one of these Shanling DAPs a listen, just do it! Not gonna take down the almighty PAW Gold by any means, but still damn good for ~$500.
