Hello all, this is my first post here Head-fi.
 
Learned alot here so far from reading, but I have a question of my own.
 
My last IEM's were a pair of Sleek Audio SA6's. And I loved them.
I really liked how balanced everything sounded and the clarity of the mids/highs without any harshness.
 
I wasn't too much into the sound "modification" aspect, but I did appreciate the ability to replace the cables,
a problem that has plagued me in the past.
 
(It's not that I'm rough on my gear, but I do move around alot, and have to put things away. take them out often)
 
Anyway, they're gone now (RIP) and I was looking to upgrade. I want the balance and clarity of the SA6 without sounding too warm, but possibly a slightly larger soundstage. I am looking into getting customs, and have a budget of about 3-400 but wouldn't hesitate to go to 500-600 if it is really worth it.
 
I live in NYC and don't want to fight the sound of the subway, it hurts my ears using anything that won't block sound properly. The Sa6 did a good job, now I am looking for something that will blow me away.
 
Thanks in advance!

well seeing as no one else has replied i will.  given the budget what about something like the se535 or um3x?

Thanks for the response, I looked into those, and they look good, but what about some customs?
 
After doing some research and looking into some threads, the 1964-T's piqued my interest.
Can anyone compare those to the SA-6?
 
Thanks, just trying to learn more.

customs i cant help on and not many can comment on more than one or two customs.
 
having a read of touchmyapps may be of use to you though
