Although I prefer foam tips I find the MEE Audio double-flanged silicon tips the best fit in comfort & seal for the FLC8S. I also like the Spiral Dots and keep those for back up purposes.

Do you happen to have a link to those MEE audio tips? All I can find is the MEE tips variety pack

 SGAudioHives´s Laboriosa Pure Silver 

Looking forward to your impressions. I´ve been amazed by the FLC´s spending a fair amount of time trying all the signatures and definitely in the market for a cable upgrade.

Here. Though it's strange that the single pair appears to be in stock while the 3-pack is not... They're half the price per pair if you can get the 3-pack.

Well I have been having fun trying out various combinations.   
 
Just now I went for Brooko's combo mentioned in his review; Clear -  None  -   None.
 
I had been in red - gray - gold.  
 
So far this does seem to be a somewhat universal combination; it sounds pretty good with classical, jazz and rock.  
 
It sort of reminds me of the combinations that I had been using that brought in the green filter.
 
For some reason this particular combination does not seem to get much mention.
 
Follow up Edit:  Decided that the clear - none - none was a bit too much treble for me.
 
Went back to red - grey -gunmetal.   
 
And yes, another ULF went flying away...this time the spare clear one.   I have emails out to LMUE asking to purchase replacements.  So far no response to two different emails.  Hopefully the third will be the charm.

I'm looking for something to replace my mojo with somewhat cheaper and truly portable gear to use plugged into my laptop. Does anyone have any experience with non-battery powered devices like DragonFly Red that are small and relatively cheap with great performance? I'm just planning to use it at home with my laptop only.

Love the dragonfly red...Use it much more than the mojo due to its unobtrusive and lightweight footprint. Some say there is a sound different...Others feel not so much ..I've not done an a,b comparison.

Also found geekout v2a, didn't know about until an hour ago. Really had me intrigued, but one thing what puts me off is that there is no physical volume control on these. Do you control the volume like the windows one on screen?

Hmmmm......seems to me that a FIIO X3II or Shanling M1 or M2 would do the job nicely and give you some flexbility.  Yes, they are battery powered.  But all need no drivers with a mac and have signed drivers for Windows.
 
Have heard good things about the dragonfly.  Computer Audiophile speaks highly of them if I recall.

I would've recommended the Geek Out DACs from LH Labs as well - I've got their discontinued IEM 100 DAC and can definitely recommend it. I wouldn't see why their newer gear should be any inferior in terms of sound quality and measurements.

I can only speak for the IEM 100 here, but yes, controlling the volume through the Windows volume slider is possible, however very imprecise (the increment steps are way too large with the Windows tool and listening at low volume levels is impossible with it as well). The "Light Harmonic Control Panel" software is the best solution for this job because it allows for fine adjustment steps (of course the drawback is that it is more inconvenient to use that software each time the volume should be changed).

Is there any way to check if my FLC 8s is faulty? Am abit of paranoid. Thank you.

 

[TSFHfan]

Well the shanling up, a competitor to df red has come out. No reviews yet tho.

Well, whats the issue with your pair?......not sounding at all?both sides or one side has no sound? Is there a sound cut when you touch the ear-pieces or the jack?...

Fortunately none of them. Just abit of paranoid. Will going full volume with phone as source damage it?

i would say its possible depending on the phone, if it puts out a very high voltage or a clipped signal.  But I think its unlikely, and if it did happen, it would be pretty obvious.
