Only you have space for me to crash for a week while I hit all the local audio places and the night market cables are really not a thing here....

You might want to stop auditioning cables if the No5 is ruined for you.

you gonna come to my place and find me dead with cables wrapped around my neck

Blind buy from Shopee/Taobao since it's pretty cheap already.

good point. tried any cable pairings yet?

Not yet, gonna listen to it for a while before doing anything. The mids/vocals are a bit thin on the NX7, I think that's one area I want to improve via tip&cable-rolling.

Although I wouldn't necessarily agree with the range they've called the lower-mids (my low-mids range from about 300-750Hz), there's a lot of wonderful info here to learn about bloating, headroom and the like that can apply to both recordings and IEMs. At the same time, hopefully it'll allow more people to appreciate the power and density that a thoughtfully tuned lower-midrange can bring, because it's all too often eschewed in order to achieve vain amounts of clarity and "detail".

MD Zeus replacement arrived. Saw someone on the local forum selling their 18 month old Montana for only $130 usd!!

the combo = *bliss*

tmrw, trading my brise str7se for the PW Limited (it’s PW Audio’s limited edition “at show special”, PW himself claims that cable is essentially a sleeveless, non coax, Monile, and a more budget friendly homage to the 1960s cable. Will use this with the Trio most likely

Part two of the Canjam impressions are now live in the blog:

https://audioprimate.blog/2019/08/01/canjam-london-2019-part-two/

Acoustune, Noble, Empire Ears, 64 Audio, Vision Ears, Fiio, Meccaudio and Cardas in this one - lots of very spendy flagships alert!

FYI, that Meccaudio IEM in your blog is from Artvano, model "Otato". I believe Meccaudio/Artvano are sister brands.

I did notice the details weren't there with the stock cable. I switched mine to a silver/copper hybrid and it was much better. Treble is veiled though, which I tend to like since I can listen longer w/o ear fatigue.

yes! Montana balances out Zeus’ tonality very nicely, making it less of a “specialist”.

Layla, you've got me on my knees.
Layla, I'm begging, darling please.
Layla, darling won't you ease my worried mind.
