or go red, black and gray to let the closet basshead rein free, yet still enjoy clarity and details
I imagine it would sound vshaped, but if basshead is your thing haha

no doubt the sound of flc8s is good. i still regret trading it away to a certain extent all because of the cable
If money was not an issue it would have been worth your while to experiment with another cable, LMUE's Crystal Silver or Null Audio's Arete for a start.
nope not that i am finding...still very musical.
unlike the sony xb90ex: while having great sub bass it sounded veiled in the detailed and juicy mids.
if anything this combo reminds me of my sony 7550
Red subbass for me is just way too loose. I actually loved the red for a long time, but something along the way changed my preference into finding a sound signature with balanced subbass, mids, slightly rolled off treble, and great bass punch while not leaking into mids. I guess I'd like to express the red as too much than need, so it actually becomes bothersome for me beyond the point of enjoyment. I can constantly hear the subbass leaking into midbass and it just doesn't sound right. I tried red, black yesterday and it just makes things worse because mids, treble are not changing, yet you're boosting bass further (assuming grey for me is the most balanced as of right now).
There is of course genre difference and source difference, I tend to listen to a lot of modern produced music like kpop/pop/trance etc. You really need to tone that subbass and bass or else it's just going to sound intruding. I found mojo to be relaxing and smooth which might also contribute to my grey grey gold setup and nothing else just works ^^
and that is the good thing with this gig (same with trinity)...you can vary things around a bit and experiment.
this said, i am considering adding a dunu trident to my collection...sold my 1more e1001 and sort of regret it as a backup
Definitely need to size up if bass is weak and increased treble. I switched up from using smalls size for a week to medium yesterday and the difference was noticeable. Bass, treble quantity, and soundstage were the biggest differences. You want them to kind of seal a big area in your ear rather than getting it deep inside without too much seal. Tip size that is typically uncomfortable at first insert tends to ease out over time.
The bass and treble quantity difference was noticeable as in black filter w/ small tips was not enough bass to grey filter w/ medium tips was plenty enough, even maybe a little more than I would like. Treble was very harsh, too sparkly w/ small tips to just enough treble with sense of air right below the level of becoming sibilant w/ medium tips. That's how much seal and insert depth matters (YMMV as always). Felt the same with stock tips. Going from xsm to small made a world of difference. I feel medium size for spinfit is similar size to small stock, for me spinfit stays in much better and more comfortable (YMMV as always). If you can get a better fit on spinfits than stock, bass definitely improves. Other than that, very similar for the rest of the spectrum and other aspects.
Ok, so I got the medium spin fits. Definitely a better seal. Compared to the spiral dots I can say that I hear less bass/sub bass and better mid/treble presentation with the spin fits. Using the spiral dots, I had gone back to the black/grey/grey tuning from red/grey/gold. But, now with the spin fits, I am back to red/grey/gold and find a really fun, forward presentation with good bass and detailed highs. Mostly pop/rock, but I did try some cello and piano, and the sound is good, for now. May become fatiguing over time, but only time will tell.
...or the new kombi trinity tips, ....
Dear Friends.
I'm on the way to Canjam London now.
I'm sorry to tell you that we failed to make formal samples because the gear drive tuning system is to complicated.
But we managed to make four prototypes without the gear drive system(but still with the three base sounds), the prototypes were not built good, but the sounds are OK.
Please come to emjoy it if you attend the Canjam.
