Spamming here but can one really get to much CIEM closeups?

VE8. Since the VE8 are filled, it's a bit hard to get decent shots but here are a few

Ok more Legend X to spam!!

The Empire Legend X arrived a few weeks ago, this is my first weekend to listen to them.
I did run then in for a long time, they sound stunning, almost better then perfect!


Yes I did the Legend X in the blender ... but only for the photo :)


I love the sound, listening to Time after Time from Miles Davis Live.... YOU ARE THERE, same Heart of Gold live from Neil Young that voicing pfff


The bass when listening to Dominic Miller's - London Paris Cardiff is so intense, deep, clean, his guitar-sound is so good on the Legend X.
Talking about guitar... Tony Joe White's - I Believe I've Lost My Way sound's so engaging I could listen this song for hours...

hiii! anyone has an complimentary iem to recommend? Currently using Legend X primarily, looking for one that's not so hard on the bass, is mid/vocal focused and does not have piercing treble! Thank youu :)

Campfire Audio Comet - $200 but something special sound wise.

Pairs with a Sony Kimber cable and Sony Wm1a or zx300 it has everything in the right balance.

okay, i tend to not schiitpost or go *that* wildly off tangent, but i really think that this is a good cause, feel free to ignore if it's not your cuppa but thank you if you do contribute!

there are only around 300 sumatran tigers in the wild, every little bit of conversation research helps!

Impressive to see a PhD so aware of her responsibility as a producer of knowledge for conservation and it is pathetic that Virginia Tech are not funding the trip for her. I'll refrain from getting on my soapbox when it comes to conservation and knowledge production, but this sort of stuff irks me no end.
