I suppose that 'bumping' this thread should really be called 'raz-urrection' ! Anywho... I received a shipment of the Aclustune tips, size L, of the 7 and 8 models. Liking the 7 better, btw. But it brings up a question about bass quantity and bore size. I thought i'd read somehwere that smaller bore gives more bass,which not only seems counterintuitive to me, but my ears tell me that they reduce it. Do my ears work wrong, or was the post I saw recently just wrong?
I also have just gotten the PW1960s double prong 4.4 adapter block for my SP2000cu, and it brings a small but noticable improvement with the Sultans, (used the OSLO cable and compared it straignt-in with its own 2.5mm tip, vs the adapter block using the OSLO's 4.4 tip. (Clever me!). Like the 4.4 better, and the block seems much more structurally secure/robust/safe.
Also just received a CrystalCable Double Duet cable and it is spectacular, even under a torture-test using the 2000cu and the Final A8000s with a pure silver cable-- granted I am old, but there was no grit, grain,glare or spikes of any kind, and the openess and natural tonality with very quick transients and excellent micro and macro dynamics offered a quite neutral but not dry presentation. I am using it now with some OE mmcx-2pin adapters on the Sultans, which even out and get more balanced than before. Really wanna get another one in native 2-pin format so I do not have to use adapters or swap out cables from iem to iem.
On that note - have you folks had better performance with mmcx or 2-pin, or is it even? I feel like i get more unintended disconnects with 2-pin than mmcxs....
