Pictures of Your Portable Rig (part XVI)

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.


Thanks for the info. I hate when they don't offer you sampler pack or allow you to mix-match sizes.

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?


It sounds a lot fuller with the low end getting richer and better controlled, I really like the E07K the X1 sounds good by itself but when I drive my AT CKR10 straight from it, it doesn't drive the CR10s to there full potential by itself.

My Fiio E12 arrived today, safe to say, results were better then expected :D
the bass switch on the side plus the fiio's bass settings, gives such a solid thud
in my m50x's :D

You sure you're not double-amping it though? Looks like you're feeding the E12 from the headphone out, not the line out on the bottom.
 
Anyway, sexy rig. I've got almost the same, but with e12A

Yea probably am. But its really handy to have a volune knob instead of buttons but with the headphone out you can adjust bass and treble on fiio aswell as having the bass switch which gives more bass. :) is double amping bad?

It's not especially good.
