Hi everyone
new member here
thanks to my wife I got in this mess, the IEM rabbit hole. Thanks to her because I like to hear music on my speakers, klipsch-rp-600m Il and paired with SMSL ad18 amp
she doesn’t agree with the volume that I play my music so I saw this IEMs on Amazon and problem solved, on her side but not on my wallet, LOL!
I went the Kz route (kz-zs10 pro) as my first IEM and now I have several of them. The recent ones are the S12 pro and the ea500lm, love them! And salnotes, wan’er that I use daily at work. And got the qudelix 5k.
the SMSL ad18 amp is been with me for years, I guess over 6-8 years? I saw this guy on YouTube recommended it, Z reviews I guess is his channel? And bought it, I like it!
one question. I tried to “upgrade“ this amp and bought the SMSL ao300, I didn’t like it. Don’t know the terminology to explain what I heard but the sound was just flat, no matter what I did still didn’t improve. More bass, less bass, different eq. More treble, less treble, the same results, if I pumped up the volume would get worst. I compared both amps and mine got the upper hand. I returned this amp and bought a second one. Loxjie A30, same situation.
did I get a custom as how mine sounds? I tried same parameters that I have in the ad18 amp on both that I bought from Amazon and flat results, increased and decreased them and same results. Tried with the speakers, with the IEM and mine, I heard all the instruments playing as with the new ones just flat! Increasing the volume and it got worst.
???
what you guys think?
thanks and have a good Sunday!
in less than 3 months and I have 8 IEMs
Time to just enjoy what I have
