USA vs China

Its time to move to Europe(I mean Sonion)
Just ask sound link to get Sonion drivers quickly.

@guiping0922 (if I remember Grace's id correctly )

LoL

Well, it was Bellsing's fault, they should at least changed the specs a bit and also the naming

It doesn't make sense to sell exact same spec driver at low cost.

Well, we gonna miss the BS6 now.

Jerry Harvey, CTM and Campfire names were mentioned.. Though..

I order ready made shells from Taobao and AliExpress, but I need to find a way to have a gloss finish so it look like professionally done.

But too bad that Taobao and AliExpress have difficulty shipping chemical/liquid. Can I use a substitute substance like a 3d printable resin, or normal resin you guys use for CIEM as final coat/lacquer?

Dunno

That's the art of cost cutting.

Well, Bellsing actually made cheaper custom driver compared to Knowles and Sonion plus can also be ordered in lower quantity.

@ZeosPantera I saw one video of yours
High Res sticker is passed by Japan Audio Society to those product which lies under specific distortion category. There are two tiers.

1. True High Res: Japan audio society strict checked with a certificate of signature with every product.

2. High res: Consumer Product association passes it and is less strict and is with the sticker

For everyone
I might be working on my own standard now. That too even stricter than all the standards.

Let's see, if I am able to pass my own standard goal

My standard is simple
1.Linearize the distortion figures and drop it as low as possible.
2. Perfect electrical performance like @piotrus-g does with his iem.
3. Good tuning

If you want to try other materials, try two component epoxy glue. It does not release any fumes and sticks to everything.

You can try uv glue such as Visbella for example. It works really great, not messy or smelly at all, you have time to adjust parts prior curing. I use it for faceplates, tubings, temporary testing setups. Just started a 2nd bottle/dispenser.

you could sand it down and buff it, but it's a ton of work
there is no substitute to lacquer for the same shine. maybe try to find an alternative lacquer locally but It will not be medical grade.

Could I just use a polishing agent and buff it with polishing wheel? I think the material is injection molding plastic. It just lacks the very sexy shine.

what kind of shell are we talking about though?

if it's plastic it might melt/microscratch under a polishing wheel and the result will not be like you intended. if it's resin then yes you could start buffing it with a buffing compound and a buffing wheel. you'll need to find the right polishing compound for the task. I have had good success with what shiloh recommended back then (look for enkay). there is a Dreve polishing compound as well

Lmao, as expected, Bellsing denies everything. Instead, Bellsing claims Knowles is infringing Bellsing's copyrights, and will take action against Knowles.

For transparent shell I use Fotofix. Wonderful material.
If the shell and / or faceplate are not transparent then Loctite 406 may come ....

I use Loon Clear Fly Finish for almost everything: MMCX connectors, tubes to BAs, BAs to shells, tubes to shell, sealing resistors and capacitors, everything! It cures quickly, it's not sticky at all after curing. Comes in Thick, Thin and Flow. It is the best product I have tested so far...

 

[tomekk]

Always watch out for suspicious uv adhesives and other chemicals, even isopropanol. Vapours from uv adhesives (this sweet smell) fuse up the lungs. Always use masks, outdoor vapour extracts and black nitrile gloves. If you find this ridiculous, read any safety data sheet for resin or biomedical lack.

Unless you don't want kids (some safety data sheets (fck!) and dream of different kinds of cancer.

Knowles Corporation as whole is 74years old. Even there child company Audience is 19years old which is still way to old compared to Bellsing.
Knowles created ED-9689 and a CI(pacemaker) in 1988.

I dont see Bellsing and their supporters winning here though. And as we all know, Knowles was silent for a pretty long period of time... Dont you think... Till the point when bellsing was not getting in its own zone of partners.

Its all USA vs China going on nowadays

Just sit back and enjoy...

Plus , BA are going to be slightly cheaper from November. (A hearing aid maker told me)
