Where did you get that Abalone plate?

I made it. I make exotic wood ones, carbon fiber, abalone, tortoise shell, etc. I’m also working on custom painted resin, like the Peacock Audio P1.

wow those carbon covers look dope, are they vinyl skins? or are they straight up shell replacements?

Thanks. It’s genuine carbon fiber. No vinyl.

It’s toxic to breathe the carbon fiber fist though, so a proper respirator mask and eye goggles is crucial.

I would recommend, Moondrop Starfield which are a bit more affordable. (i'm currently saving for it, i kinda blew my saving to buy BTR-5 after my phone suddently unable to connect to my Dragonfly DAC)

I used to use KZ but i'm currently uses TFZ King-series which have much better details compared to KZs. Things like you can easily feel the bass texture unlike ZS10-pro which are punchy but a bit hollow compared to TFZ-King-series.
TFZ-king does have less seperation as it is single driver vs KZ-multi, but it didn't bother me much as their seperation is pretty good for single driver.

haha i just blew my savings too getting the Fiio M7 and my Final e3000s (thanks high exchange rates), heard a lot about the moondrop starfields, but how similar are they to the Galaxy Buds+ from Samsung? They have the same Harman Tuning curve right? I'm not so sure on the Moondrop, as I don't find myself particularly enjoying the galaxy bud's sound *that* much

My Brotha, you get anything close to the Peacock Mystery and my money will be on its way :thumbsup: Only issue I've read about is the treble being a little off and scattered at times but with your mad skillz you can do the same magic you did on the MH750's:grin:

@Slater has really got some mad skills. One of few guys on these forums that I got much respect for. He's a diy guy at heart. His abalone ZS10 PRO is totally drool worthy. And don't even get me started on how his teardown on several TRN cables in the cheap cable thread, helped expose a big problem with that aftermarket cable company. He is a god, imho. And a really nice guy to talk to also. Nuthin but respect!

How about a rig with red BA10? That would be perfect!

Sure but unfortunately I did not get the black and red BA10 for the Darth effect :rolling_eyes: Now if your a Iron Man fan these may fit the bill:beerchug:

Just pulled my KZ ZS5's out of the drawer yesterday...where they had been for several months...

They sounded as good as I remembered. :)
