I am quoting the official price, but excellent info on the overstock.com deal!

Good lookin' out. I was just about to update my price to $20 along with the new ratings.

May I ask what is the sound difference between the triplefi 10 and ortofon Q7?

I have the triplefi and am kinda tempted to get the ortofon since the overall looks look really nice!

 

[ClieOS]

TF10 has analytical, slight bright treble, recessed but not too far away mid, a good kicking bass and a great soundstage. Ortofon e-Q7 has a smooth treble, full mid with sweet vocal, a good, warm dynamic-like bass and an average soundstage. If TF10 is great for classical than e-Q7 is great for vocal. I think they compliment each other quite well.

You can read my review of e-Q7 here.

Thank you for ur quick reply

think the ortofon suits my liking, better mids and dynamic-like bass... now i just hope that theres a place where i can demo the ortofon, hope jaben would carry it in the future

yea and i hope there would be a price drop for the ortofon xD

jaben does carry it sorta..they have it bundled with an amp or dac or something and its listed at 430. you can ask them if they can sell just the iem and what the price is.

ClieOS where is the link to your IE8 (assuming you did one)? I would be interested in what you had to say about it. Thanks.

Wow, looked at 2 of your review posts ClieOS, and you're been tons of help.
Currently looking for a pair of iem's for the girlfriend, and only know a few names and models from being on Head-fi, otherwise not being a huge iem fan.
Narrowed down my decision, thanks!!!

I auditioned IE8 in a store a few months ago, like it enough that I consider it to be a top-tier but didn't buy it because of the US$500 local price. I would have pick one up if it is on the $300 range like most of its competitors. Since I don't have one, I can't review it.

Hi ClieOS, any interest to review Audio-Technica's IEM?

 

[ClieOS]

I would love to review CK10 and CK100, which are both too expensive locally (as AT generally does). I am waiting for their price to drop, that or IE8's. I might pick up a CKS70 if I have the chance, but now I have about 8 more IEM and a few other things in schedule for review while there might be a few more coming in, so there is no hurry in getting any AT at the moment.

Thanks for the response @ ClieOS

are they? i thought the price here (Singapore and Malaysia) are quite competitive compared to the price in Western countries

nevertheless, thanks for your great review
