  thanks so much!!! now i can go back to truth vs ie800

no worries. comparing to flagship dynamic iems, cl1 got to be the worst out of the lot lol.
i do have to admit rha iems are of fantastic build quality but of course, let the sound do the talking, very mediocre sounding.
cheers!

I'll be able to demo the CL750 at a local audio event tomorrow. Looking forward to it given how much I enjoyed the M705.

u will be in for a treat with the audeze isine, fiio/jh iems. rha was the only disappointment in the room

 

[audio123]

  nice but will these suffer with the famous RHA harsh treble?

@Deftone u predicted correctly mate

very harsh treble and v shaped.
destroys musicality

 

[youurayy]

i hope you guys burned them in, tried different amps and all that..

Just be patient. More of us will be chiming in soon, so you'll have more perspectives...

I actually really like the new monitor. Treble reminds me of the eamt1a

Which one are you referring to? CL1 or CL750?

Yeah just as I imagened, it's shame they can't keep the treble under control ma750 got extremely harsh at times and T10 too v shaped for my liking.

Not everyone believes in 500 hours burn in though it would be better to let the brain adjust and then after a week or 2 decided if you like them or not.

Huh, it must be differences in personal preference and/or anatomy because I've never found MA750 to be harsh. But I've been in your position before, where I definitely hear an IEM as harsh but a fellow headfier doesn't hear it that way.

Man, I had a post all typed up with my thoughts from RMAF, but I'm going to sit on them for a few days until I get the RHA kit in house. I'll be back soon to let you know if what I heard at the show is replicated while listening in my house, though...

 

[Deftone]

Yeah that's true and it's why I encourage everyone to try before they buy even if it's a product with 100 5 star reviews.

 

[Ultrainferno]

CL1 of course. 750 always was more v shaped

agreed but CL1 is just piercing

Just got back from ISSE, here are my thoughts:

Disclaimer: I have a cold and running nose that might have affected my listening impressions, but my own iems still sound great to me so...

I was an owner and great fan of the MA750.

I was... Unpleasantly surprised by how thin and shrill sounding treble are on both models. The bass was not overpowering like the T10 and T20, but the mids were recessed and the trebles were just... Terrible. I have no idea why RHA tuned them that way. I tried both CL750 and CL1 from their dac amp, but no difference... It's really impossible for me to recommend anyone to get them, fan that I am of the MA750.

I didn't spend enough time with the dac amp to formulate any kind of impressions, just that there isn't anything special about it to justify its price. The treble and bass knobs work as advertised, but since all my sources tend to be flat and neutral, I prefer the knobs set to off.
