Never got the chance to check out the 232, but the 1-- series was my intro to "proper" portable sound, and still hold its ground today

Phonak series with soundstage, imaging, speed and separation, still sounds relevant. Very sad that Phonak closed IEM business.

You forgot fit. Man, I could almost forget I'm even wearing them - just the springy cable bringing them down.
My 112(?, I can never remember the number) has packed it in - bad cable, but thankfully I got a 012 as a backup. I should really find a backup for my backup

Going for stealthy wealthy look today. Getting the colorscheme and sound right has been a huge part of the hobby for me.

Wow, haven't heard that name in awhile. I wish mine didn't crack up. That was a special sounding iem. It was like Etymotic but more musical.

no sir, I gotta stop ya there (in a good way), that fine rig you have is very much portable. Very friggin' portable. Now if you had a Hugo or a Cayin C9 attached, and some some woodies from ZMF..then okay. My portable rigs all look like this !!! To me, what most audiohiles deem 'portable I feel is unrealistic when it comes to rigs and stacks. Something can still be portable if it doesn't fit in your pocket.

However today I'm going with the absolute best $34 Rig I've ever heard bar none! The new Benjie X6 with Sony MH750's (Re-cabled by Hungry Panda) cannot be beat for less than $35:wink:
