Also, do any of you guys know if the final e tips fit the B2D and starfield? They fit me the best.

Wonder how the capacitance of a cable from using thicker cables will affect the sound. Maybe its not conductivity thats making silver sound brighter than copper but rather their capacitance?There is huge misconception here....
The segment of cable we are referring to, is the MOST noticeable type of cable, because it is headphone cable...
Its not just a piece of wire, but a complex design with complex wind, strand, insulating material, and braiding, wich will affect micro world of detail, ambiance, tonality and coherency.
All components have RCL & magnetic attributes, no matter how small.
These perceptions are not readily noticeable on devices that are not sensitive, but IEMs are one of the most sensitive type of devices we have, especially since it is being placed right in the ear...
So yeah, all that "sound science" goes out the window when you hear differences, which, like it or not, the majority of all of us notice or claim to notice.
It's Iike the difference between a person of faith knowing they have a soul, and an atheist who don't believe or want to show you numbers to invalidate the soul.
Too many things at play. The fancy windings become more complex than transformer or motor windings, and the insulation types (or lack of) can cause things besides capacitance. There's also magnetic fields generated from the current, that can interact with each other thru the insulation. It's not just RCL aspects. Also we have the complexity of silver plated copper, or gold plated silver, and also combinations.Wonder how the capacitance of a cable from using thicker cables will affect the sound. Maybe its not conductivity thats making silver sound brighter than copper but rather their capacitance?
We then are dealing with different conductance, which essentially can act like layered amounts of RCL.. It's all a dam mess if you ask me. So nothing clear cut except trial and error and the general consensus of those that tried.
Anyone that tells you they can't hear, essentially becomes of no use in your search, as they essentially have no information to relay on any differences, and have basically boxed themselves in, so there you go...

I use them on my starfield, perfect fit, and perfect combination!Also, do any of you guys know if the final e tips fit the B2D and starfield? They fit me the best.

Will there be an XL or LL size? The current L size spring tips are much too small for some people.
I even think that for many, Moondrop's size L is totally inadequate. As standard with other manufacturers, the L size is 14 mm in diameter.Will there be an XL or LL size? The current L size spring tips are much too small for some people.

That’s what we are trying to hintWill there be an XL or LL size? The current L size spring tips are much too small for some people.

The general popularity of Moondrop Spring Tips would also beg for larger bore sizes so that we can use them on other IEMs… #jussayin

Moondrop MoonRiver 2 dongle measured below. Great performance on the balanced output.

They’re already going to do an XL, because their L was too small. I see more and more people adopting these tips and raving about their quality and fit.
I guess they hit a sweet spot here. I totally agree with you, if they’re smart they’ll develop different bore sizes to accommodate different IEMs.
I just hope these tips will be available in Europe because I will not pay customs taxes and shipping from China (for anything at this moment, in fact).

Is there an EQ (PEQ) profile for the Variations to Oracle tuning? Loving the Variations as is but very curious about Oracle.

Sad. What kind of duties and such are we talking about it? Is it a European Union thing?I just hope these tips will be available in Europe because I will not pay customs taxes and shipping from China (for anything at this moment, in fact).

I thought they teamed up with Colorfly? But it looks like they teamed up with LZ HIFI?Moondrop MoonRiver 2 dongle measured below. Great performance on the balanced output.

I don't see that he has one, but it does look like crinacle has one. My personal experience with oracle's and crin's presets have been 100% miss with iems so far. Try it out, though. Who knows, u might get lucky and like it. My ears and preferences might just be weird.Is there an EQ (PEQ) profile for the Variations to Oracle tuning?

edit: oops i meant oratory1990's eq presets, not oracle as in the iem. Oratory and oracle are close, and I got them confused
