I'm pretty sure I speak for the majority here when I say it's also the most anticipated one. As far as I'm concerned, the remainder can wait...

I agree! There are so many reviews that I forgot the TF10 isn't one of them.


Joker owns one and has mentioned many times that TF10 will need to wait as long as there are loaners or review samples. I think it's going to be the grand #250

(or #300 or #400 or I hope sometime within #500 at least. One can always hope)

Similar only in the sense that they are both well-balanced. One being BA-based and the other dynamic, they differ a fair amount in how notes are actually conveyed. I would never call the RE272 analytical, for example. I made some comparisons to the bass of to the CK10 in the RE272 review and for the most part they will hold for the DBA-02. They also apply to the rest of the spectrum - the DBA-02 is always crisp and immediate whereas the RE272 is always gentle and liquid.

 
In a way, both will be complementary to some extent ? It wouldn't hurt adding Brainwavz B2 (similar to DBA-02) to my IEM collection as both are different sounding ? Which genre is the forte of Re 272 and DBA-02 ?
 
Thanks for the detailed reply. I thought RE 272 was more on analytical side, but then I have not listened to many IEMs. Etys are for sure analytical ?

I think the DBA's rock with Rock!  Rush is amazing on DBA's unless you have a basslight fit.
 
Had only a short listen to the RE272 but more laid back/relaxed Classical music would seem best for them I'd say.

I think the better idea is for everyone to stop loaning joker IEMs...


Both reasonable solutions

I think for a more aggressive sound an Ety or a B2/DBA-02 would compliment the RE272, as long as you're not looking for a radically different balance.

Shipped out my RE252s today and came home to a new package: Earsonics SM3s!
 
The sound: a cohesive, musical sound that ties in the midrange very nicely, ever so slightly warm in balance (getting used it coming from DBA-02s), timbre and bass detail of a level I haven't really experienced from any of my past IEMs.  (RE0s, RE252s, RE262s, DBA-02s/B2s, TF10s, ER4P, S4) 
 
And I'm happy to report I think I've finally found something I can live with.  I'm not anointing it but I'm not going b-itch either, and I think that constitutes 'happiness' as an audiophile.  Reveling in the music.

Judging from ljokerl's sonic preferences, I'm guessing the tf10 will probably score between 8.8 - 9.0 in sound quality.  If you look at his other reviews, he mentions the tf10 a number of times so you can more or less get an idea of what he thinks of it. For the computer newbies, in your browser type Ctrl+F and then type tf10
