Thank you...that's what I expected.
Sorry for the slow response been working doubles of late. So I made a goof while writing and did not double check some things. The ST6A/B has the smallest soundstage of the group
I would put the soundstage at ST10>ST8≈GD3>>ST6A>≈B
I shall edit the other post when I get back in later tonight

Just finished scoring ST10: A-Grade
-With DUNU SA6's cable & wide bore shallow nozzle thin skin bass tip

Super technical, but the bass floor is too high and interupting it's diffusion field, treble response is basically DF neutral and 10khz+ got pretty nice air presentation to further assist the diffusions.

Sounds to me like a case of "technicalities can't trump tuning (unless you're Audeze)".

They are working on a GD3C now. I asked them if they could make it vented, since that is something a lot of people need.
(also sent them my target vs GD3A lol.)

Sounds exciting. I would definitely expect a set tuned to your reference curve to sell well, especially if they stick to the $86 price point that the other two are at. It'll depend on what their bulk unit purchase prices are for the drivers they select. And to their credit, they seem to be pricing to their build costs instead of building down to a cost.

Obtained GT12 driver specs✌️


Sub-woofer: Sonion 38 AcuPass | 2BA
Lower Mid: Sonion 33 | 2BA
Upper Mid: 2 x GS Custom TWFK | 4BA
Super Tweeters: 2 x GS custom TWFK | 4BA

Impressive! the Sonion 38 AcuPass woofer is very solid one, and another Sonion Mid with quad Custom TWFK backing up midrange, totaling 6BA for mid, and 4BA as super tweeters.

Looking forward to see how this could turn into sound reproduction

Vortex Reviews on Youtube posted a review of the GT12

Along with a graph:

He seemed to be pretty positive about them in his review.

Looks like Moondrop really hit it out of the park with Variations. I really like that format of review summarization, it's very comprehensive and easy to understand. Still, for how their graph looks, I'm quite impressed by how well the ST10 did in your rankings compared to these other sets.

Thanks!

I used tips /cables for aftermarket tuning to “fix” the sound balance haha.

After all, ST10 is very technical, much more technical than blessing2 class, and this DF neutral or Free-Field approach with 10khz finesse illustration actually works pretty well for live recording and male vocals👍

Again I still have to criticize the bass floor, and let GS Audio aware that floor is a “no go” for Audiophile’s common sense. It works for bassheads, and I do sometime appreciate for some tracks, yet it’s still too bassy and self-contradicting its Diffusion Field tuning. If the bass floor is lower, I may even consider ST10 as an A+ IEM from current A.

I’m in! GD3A Order placed with SE12 design. Surprisingly they didn’t charge me $20USD more for customization. I’m super excited about how they sound!

That’s a discount for reviewer, if you’d like to write a review on this, I believe they will offer you as well.

I guess we are lucky in Spore because we do not have to pay shipping fee for the GS iems.
The total price is close to reviewer's price LOL
