My Plenue 1 recently died after many years of service, so now having to use the Plenue D until I can afford a suitable replacement.

The B4-X is so awesome!

Mine is just a standard B4, but have replaced Opamp (AD823ANZ). Good synergy with the ttromso, mid bass on these can sound over the top with some pairings, but B4 keeps it in check.

Oh man! I didn't even notice since it looks almost identical lol. I also replaced mine with the Borson(5?) OpAmps. Definitely made a nice difference. It's an excellent little amp.

Really enjoying them. Your review and our shared love for the Kaiser Encore was what convinced me to give them a try. Glad I did, a bargain for the $55 I paid for them.

$55......that’s an amazing price. They have a particular quality that no other IEM has, just like the Encore, they are both weird! The Tipsy is the polar opposite of the Encore too!

You've got me questioning myself now, as I'm not sure I would classify them as polar opposites. To me they share quite a few similarities. The Tipsy has elevated bass over the KE, but mids and treble presentation isn't that different in profile to my ears.

That said, the tipsy sound very different with the B4 than straight from the Plenue D. The bass is much better controlled, so not overwhelming and the soundstage gets pushed right out in front rather than being in your head, giving everything a much better sense of space.

I feel that way about both my Meze Solos and my Thie Legacy 3's! I also doubt it will be the last of these findings:thinking:

Decided to go here today:

Mee MassDrop Pinnacle PX (P1), the bit Opus # 1(At the rate this hobby is moving these are almost Vintage):laughing:

Tbh, not much of synergies between iem, dap and cable…

But they sure are purdy together :grin:

Here's one of my old rigs that had great synergy together which I hope are being enjoyed by Wokei (my old Shanny Mo) and MB my old Advanced Elise iem's:stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: My personal belief is the two best ways to show someone you care about them is to feed them (so they know you want them nourished to be around and share more days together) and to give/share music with them (to hopefully put joy in their hearts and minds) :v:
