Not sure why you wiped your post. 
 
Learning audio just takes time. It took me a few years to pick up on what I like and hate. Until then just try everything you can. Just remember that nobody can tell you something is good if you think its crap. Your opinion is all that matters in the end. 
 
The FLC8S' will teach you most of what you need to know about the type of sound sigs available. Basically it'll cover 90% of the IEM's on the market's sound sig for the most part. 
 
Oh and I'm far from considering myself a seasoned poster.. Unless you mean my age then maybe. I'm only 34 though so maybe? My knowledge of gear is not small but it's not large either. 
 
Feel free to PM me though or anything if you have any questions.

ointment?

There are some lubricants that you can apply to the tips, they are ones that are made for hearing aids and they assist with sealing. I wouldn't recommend that approach though. It sounds like you may not be using the best size tip, try experimenting with some others. Foam tips are often easier to get a good seal,Crystal tips available from lendmeurears.com work very well.

There's plenty of tip recommendations in this thread. Personally I really like MEE Audio's double flanged tips and the JVC Spiral Dots. I find the LMUE Crystal tips don't want to stay in my ear canal, same with stock. Comply fit well but are a hassle to put in and remove if constantly interrupted at work or wherever attention is required.

Try some wide-bore silicon tips (just generic ones from other IEMs you have might work) that are in between the stock tip sizes. I think that if you like the stock silicon tips and they slip out, it's because the size is off.

Just asking, since I don't have enough time to backread, what is the exact size of FLC8s' 2 pins? Is it 0.74mm? I'm planning to use Eidolic pins. Thanks.

the manual says 0.75mm but i tried on mine last time, hard time to fit it in.
0.74mm is highly recommended.
cheers

Anybody know what the difference in midrange is between the green MF/HF filter and no MF/HF filter?

thanks for this one, I'll use 0.74 then.

I tried Noble K10U recently and FLC8S has it handily beat for bang for your buck. No question about that. In fact, I'm pretty sure I'd take FLC8S over K10U regardless of price. They just tick more of the right boxes for me.

hi again.
 
3 things:
 
1/just ordered a pair....also alongside the trinity delta v2 so colour me nuts.
...will be interesting to see how they compare against one another.
and also alongside my older but still very respectable sony 7550 studio monitors.
 
2/problem is i don't know how to critically assess something as well as many others on here.
so feel free to shoot me any links.
 
at least what i'm listening to them on is ok: 
dragonfly red
chord mojo (picking up this week)
ifi micro idsd
 
and, hey, if i don't like 'em i can always sell 'em.
but like the chord mojo, sometimes you just have to 'get it out of your system'
to see what the buzz is about, on some things.
 
3/ what other tips work with these for a great seal
..spinfit?  other?  just want alternatives.
 
i've ordered some JVC spiral dots for my sony 7550s ...wonder if they'll work.
 
i have a problem with a good seal...my right canal is a bit 'weird'
 
thanks for any feedback.
 
the new campfire andromeda and upcoming trinity master series also look interesting.
but that is down the road.

Basic thoughts here : http://www.head-fi.org/f/7898/brooko
 
The things you need to do:

1. You must volume match when making comparisons - otherwise any output is skewed
2. Use same source, same material
3. Vary between fast A/B and longer sessions
4. Use music you know very well - and try to use specific tracks with specific strengths - eg areas like sub-bass, mid-bass, mid-rnage transition, detail and extension, sound-stage and imaging etc
