Eke, even without looking at the rest i suggest to you, please throw out Shozy PX1, it might sound good with iPhone and warmer consumerish sounding IEMs like Klipsch X10 (actually this setup my daughter is using)... i tried Shozy amp with RDB+ v1 one day and v1 sounded like a screaming cat... sorry mate, here is what i meant about synergy, Shozy with v1 is waste and no matter how much i love Rhapsodio and their products i believe Shozy is not nearly worth of a good amp, this is just an Ok amp but not more than that.
again sorry mate
i am now listening to Alan Parson's Eye In the Sky album with RWAK+T1+V1 and it sounds lovely.
but i am damn serious about tubes coming from tube background and knowing what JJ tubes are about, they are cheapo production from Slovakia and sound even worse than generic Chinese tubes.
ok, i looked the rest of your post.
now please do not misunderstand me, i own things i talking about and i come to defend things only if i love what i hear.
i can also tell you i agreed to buy demo 1P2 after hearing them because no other IEM was able to come so close to analogue like sound for me.
my portable setup includes 1P2 and RDB+v1 powered by RWAK + T1 amp and my other setup consists of lovely T-Peos H200 powered by C3 and BH amp.
my Shozy PX1 was presented to my daughter who uses it with iPhones, iPads and iPods she has in her box plus Klipsch X10i and Senns 800.
my front end consists of Sonus Faber Cremona M 3way floorstanders + Ayon tube amp triode + penthode switcheable mode, Naim CDX2, Rega DAC, Metrum Octave DAC, dedicated Mac Mini + Audirvana Plus, plus some Atlas, Chord, Van den Hul and Inakustik silver reference loudspeaker cables.
my music preferences come from playing acoustic piano, having done DJing in younger years and playing for school rockband. i also been to pro recording studios and know what neutral sound is all about. i never would want neutral sound on my system because this is so dull... but is so precise and uncolored as well.
going to one of the best musical halls of the world called Wiener Musikverein i never could find neutral sound because hall acoustic is what this all is about.
as regards wear and fit, i must concur that all boils down to personal preferences. i agree, for someone using portable during activity neither 1P2 nor v1 would do it... but then i am afraid many IEMs will be not so good for gym or running as regards wear and fit :-D
else assured i love music and i always pay attention to many sonical attributes except for that i never cared to measure output and else things for which i have no time nor willingness... i just trust my ears.
no, i do not believe in price tags, this is why i first see, try and then ask for the price... happens with gear and wine all the time, sadly i am always leaning towards costlier things.
consider, i was not even planning 1P2 and was sceptical when received them, yes i knew they were expensive and still after listen i was ambushed and decided to buy them, stupid and silly me and my wallet hates me but i could not pass the IEM which sounds sooooooo analogue like in my setup. i even wrote back to Tralucent about this because i was so curious how on earth they could achieve this.
as regards users, i got a PM from one chap who told me he sold his TG334 after hearing 1P2. i think this says a lot.
as regards RWAK, 1P2 and else expensive gear i believe talking mostly about their steep price is not wise approach, same like cheaper IEMs and DAPs can sound very good too and i would never base myself on the price tag considerations. H200 is a true GEM costing little and pushing high and is a living proof why this hobby is so exciting.
NB: and please mate, change JJ tubes, believe me you can achieve much better sound with better tubes, i was in the same boat some years ago and tried many, so i can tell for sure JJ tubes are worst crap i have heard sound wise.
