flinkenick's 17 Flagship IEM Shootout Thread (and general high-end portable audio discussion)
Previous discussion reminded me of this...
(don't know what they're singing about, but they're having a good time).
Since this is THE thread with the braintrust for CIEM i wanted to get some opinions from the ones more experienced with how a CIEM design will look "live"
For a VE8 i'm playing around with these configurations. Any feedback on what will work not only in the designer and look good?
The design is a "celebration" to two fav bands..
Myself i was set on (3) but then i started to play around with colors and wood.. Not sure how well the graphics will display on transparent color faceplates?

As the others have mentioned, I’d highly recommend mirror faceplates. But, instead of engraving the art on the acrylic above the mirror foil, I’d recommend asking VE to cut-out the shapes from the foil itself. You’ll get this kind of effect:
All I can tell you is that mirror faceplates come out super pretty (to me).
Beautiful gems, man.
By the way, mirror faceplates are also available via Jomo Audio. There’s also another company that’s currently experimenting with mirror faceplates, but I can’t say much until my review comes out. As always, stay tuned.
Straight from Cologne I'm guessing?
Nice track. Lol. A guy was trying to count one-to-ten miserably, that's all I could catch.Hey, congrats.By the way, mirror faceplates are also available via Jomo Audio.

Which model are you getting Deezel? Is it the Flamenco?Hope you find one in a shop there Mim. I'm also curious how it sounds. It seems this time the Oriolus is putting more focus for the mids, and high-frequency, and less driver count for the bass. If you could find a demo there, that'd be awesome.
BTW, nice VE design of yours.
The blue plate, white flower IMO looks nice. As well as the orange BLISS. By the way, if you're looking for a nice colour palette, check out the cartoon show Adventure Time. They have great colour selection for their character, and background.Since this is THE thread with the braintrust for CIEM i wanted to get some opinions from the ones more experienced with how a CIEM design will look "live"

No, the review I'm talking about is of the other company's product; the one that I said was experimenting with mirror faceplates. Jomo and I... uhh... well, stay tuned.

feeling like I should go for a ciem, but got burned on one from acs, never fit, never sounded good, pretty hesitant to blow another big wad...

Or both in my case as the Hugo2 > EC ZD pairs extraordinarily well.
Man, I can only imagine how sweet that must sound. If by any chance you are planning on upgrading to their Afficianado or Studio, please do let me know as I would be interested to buy your ZDS.

As we know it, Nic has the compulsive need to associate the year ('17) with the number of items in the shootout (17 IEMs). He'll need a HP from 18 different manufacturers, if he plans on doing it in 2018. And he owes it to himself to add one more HP to the list, for every year he postpones the shootout,

Why can't that 'one day' be today? TSAV (http://thesourceav.com/) apparently is offering a good price for the Utopia.
I'm not gonna get burned on the stake over this... right?
