I agreed the KPE is highly detailed in a great way. The A8 on the other hand takes that up a few notches, maybe 10. lol

What a8 takes up is the price. Dont forget this. a8 can't be compared to kpe of 150 eur such way as the same price tier iem. Kpe is the king in this price for me.

I think you are right! KPE is the heavyweight knock out winner in the under $200 category. If something can beat it, i've never heard it.

Speaking of the A8, with its huge ear bores. I would like to have it deeper in my ear canal. Using the smallest tips, it's not quite where I want it. Any ideas? I usually use triple flanges for my other IEMs in this case but i've never seen any that come close to fitting a 5.5mm bore.

Any suggestions for cleaning the KPE grills? I think I ha a thin sheen of ear wax blocking the small grill opening. I have read problems with removing them and trying to put those back, so haven’t tried that. I have them in with silica desiccant to try to dry them out. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hydrogen peroxide can dissolve earwax. I wouldn't dip the IEM in it but maybe a drop on the screen followed by lightly damping up the drop after it sits for awhile might help.

Awesome suggestion! Will try that today. I will put some on a Q-tip and apply to the screen while holding the IEM nozzle down and keeping it that way so no liquid pours into the IEM. Thank you again for the suggestion!

Happy Easter!

I hope you've moved on to something better but you can always buy them back again. I would miss mine and their hours of daily musical bliss immensely.

I would slightly dip the tip in 99% isopropyl alcohol and let them dry out a few times. The 99% will evaporate quickly.
