Pictures of Your Portable Rig (part XVI)

[FiJAAS]

Here is my rig for today, Fiio X1 Fiio E07K and Audio-Technica CKR10

How do you like this setup? I'm thinking about getting the X1 and E07K. Is the amp in the E07K much better than the amp in the X1? What is the sound like?

I am hardrock just thinking about my sexy girl for sewing her love stitch by stitch on this bag. I really don't deserve this as I don't even own a TOTL player. That said, I cranked 946 GB's of my music into that ipod.

Absolutely loving this combo.  Just got some spinfit tips and they are so much better than any of the others I've used.  I do have to use a small for my left ear and a medium for my right though so I required two packs.  Worth it though to get the most out of what I got.

agreed, although annoying as I needed to get S, M and L as it seems my ears change daily!!

Thankfully didn't need XS as well, haha, would've been silly spending more on tips than the majority of joe public spend on their gear

I'm using JVC Spiral Dots with mine. I refuse to use tips that obstruct the nozzle in any way. I want to know I'm hearing the full Angie sound... nothing attenuated. Spiral Dots give good isolation and seal. Very comfortable. But Angie will stick out a little more, as these tips fill your outer canal, not the inner. The sound is out of this world, though.

That's awesome! I too have been planning to make a case as well. It's absolutely on my to do list.

How are these spiral dots, compared to the stock silicone tips? Stock silicone isolate well, but they're  too rigid, and cause discomfort after an hour's use.
I do like the shallow fits for extended listening sessions. How is the size measurement, are the mediums same as medium stock tips?
 
I did not have a good experience with spinfits, too. They were too supple and had to be inserted deeper for a good seal, but that changed the airiness of the stock tips. Also, the large was not large enough. I've settled on the westone star tips(grey), but would like something similar with a wider bore.

I had to use the large stock silicon, and agree about the discomfort. Worse than discomfort, they also make the high mids/lower treble slightly too sharp. Not terrible, but overly detailed, bordering on sibilant. I use Large Spiral Dots. They smooth everything right out, making all frequencies sound so natural, without becoming blurry or bloated. I'm not sure Angie can be bloated, but the Spiral Dots certainly don't do it.

They were my favorite tips with the ATH-IM03 as well, clearing up all of its sibilance.. They change the sound (compared to stock tips) for the better. I like to think this is how the Customs sound, without any silicon or foam getting in the way of the nozzle opening.

Ultimate Ear 600 tips are also very good at this. But my left ear kept sliding out, so I'm happily back with the JVCs.

I bought the variety pack of Weston Stars in preparation for Angie. They remain unopened. The Spiral Dots are just too good.

If you use medium stock, I think you should use medium JVCs. They ought to be bigger, but they fit into a larger part of your ear, so that's natural.
