A great combo with the ISN D10 and factory S4 Cable!

Just ordered an S2 for my Serial. Looking forward to hearing a difference. Didn't go for the Dunu tips, not wide enough to fit securely. I'll try some CP145s instead.

I have ordered Dunu's tips to try, but until now I was using the Azla Crystal in the Serial with very good results.

I forgot to put it in the thread which was meant for it...my review of ISN H2! Guys (and Gals, if any) who all are considering the ISN C2, S2, H2 series, I confirm that you can go for them without any doubt. Under $100 the H2 is one of the best cables I have ever heard with full utilisation of the hybrid nature. For more detailed impression kindly read below:

But the subwoofer like bass on EST50 sounds tempting for techno etc.
...these are the ones for tech mate...

Tracks like these ensure goosebumps time via the EST50:



Get the EST50 or the FatFreq Mini for pounding electronics.

I considered listing my EST50 (fit isn't great), even going so far as taking pics, but I just popped them in my ears and have now changed my mind.

Today is another day

Funny you say, I get a perfect seal and fit with H30. Going to Penon FAN 2 I have horrible issues, then perhaps next morning or evening they fit a little better. FAN 2 and ISN H30 look the same in design except for a slight angle on the nozzle. Probably going to sell FAN 2 and get H50.

Getting soon my first IMR the Na-Le (have to see how soon with his delays), out from research it should be a good bass IEM. Its on the low end side since it will be my first IEM from the company. But then my regret voice joins in and says if I sell FAN 2 and cancel the order from IMR I can maybe stretch my wallet for EST50:beerchug:

The juggling part over the years, of gear buying and selling is the only way I have been able to convince me to get expensive gear(and wife for that matter, she steals my Aeolus at times so she knows it's worth it :wink: )

My brother and I once inherited a car, yet I sold my half to my brother to buy audio equipment. I did all this behind my wife’s back. Really that’s the only time I did such a stunt, though I will say it’s easier to ask for forgiveness than permission.

Hehe, I try to be as honest as possible with the purchases, at least after they have arrived

For everything that costs less than a grand, I tell her that’s prototype material or review units I can keep against my « honest » opinion posted here… it works so far, also because I am managing the family’s budget…

See this is flying too close to the sun for me. When my gf and I start actually sharing finances like that one day, I’m just gonna be honest and upfront about my addiction. And counterpoint that her self-care nail days with her bestie come every 3 weeks and if I’m good for 3 of her sessions, I can probably afford a mid-fi set 🧐
