The little dot mk.iii has three adjustment settings for various impedance headphones, however I didn't get good results with my he560's. However my matrix m-stage drives them very well. I've yet to try earphones.

Ok, I'm not familiar with the LD mkiii but usually OTL amps has a pretty high output impedance.

The A2's 16Ohms/120dB and really easy to drive, that's probably why I feel that the m-stage is overkill for them.

Tbh as long as you guys are happy that's all that matters, I was just surprised (and had a different experience pairing them with the m-stage ).

Peter I totally agree, I've never used an iem on my home rig because I to believe it's overkill & I own the hd800. Now the Puro ie 500's may be a different story.

What tips are you using on these?

Yeah, from what I hear the Puro is as hard to drive as the Havi B3P1 which is the only IEM I run in my main rig

I'm enjoying them most with wide bore tips. At the moment I use them with some Fidelio S2 look a like silicone tips.

Yes, I sure do love those havi's, I usually spend a few days with them every couple months

I forgot which earphone the tips from. But it's just larger than the largest stock tips.

Removed my question about this and Fidue A73... sorry.. it was discussed previously apparently...

 

[NemesisQ]

If I wanted to buy tips (in advance of my delivery) on Amazon or something, what should I be searching for? Is anything going to work with these or do I need a specific type?
 
Just want to try out some different types for comfort/sound, as I've never experimented with tips much.

Spinfits are pretty popular. It was recommended here by someone (I cannot recall who) that JVC Spiral dots worked well, so I have those on order. I like to use eBay for tip purchases: easy to find, cheap, free shipping and I can mix and match. These are the ones I ordered

Thanks! Gonna try to figure out what size are good for my ears by looking at what I have lying around.

I decided to jump to the boat after reading Yangian and RedJohn reviews a few times and I also cannot refuse the AE 11.11 sale price ... 
I wish the build quality could be better (CMIIW, but it looks cheap based on the phone pictures)... but I think the sound should be the most important...
 
now... patiently wait for them...

One issue for me is that vocals take a backseat to the instruments.  When I turn the volume up to where I like the vocals, the instruments are overpowering.  Is this described as mid not forward enough for me?  Tenore vocal is louder compared to the instruments.
 
Also, I feel that the timber or tuning (not sure which word is correct) is slightly too bright for the female vocal, making it sound a little artificial.
 
Will Spiral Dots help with either of these issues?

I really don't like how the a2 sounds with stock tips. The tonal balance sounds off that way. If you can pick up legit jvc xtreme xplosives ( too fakes online) cheap those are the tips I love using with A2.

I have large spiral dots and it doesn't seal as well as the large regular Jvc tips. maybe a ML spiral dot might be better for me

That gives me some hope!  Large spiral dots too big for your ears, huh?  I ordered 3 pairs of the large since I'm using the large stock tips.  I hope it helps with the tonal balance and timbre.
