  FYI, the CKR9LTD, limited edition, from memory seems to sound better than CKR9. Will test more tomorrow at Sgp Audio Technica Event.

Well that's good to know. I'd hope people wouldn't spend so much more just for a pretty paint job.

I look forward to your impressions! I'm looking at purchasing the CKR9LTD, but I assumed the sound was the same as the CKR9. Hopefully the changes will be something I like because I love the color...

Do any of you guys use EQ for the CKR10? Which setting did you use? Do you guys use it as a portable IEM?

I EQ all my IEMs to to V shaped. And I use it as portable IEM.

Do you use any clip for it? Or worn over the ear? As when u move it produce unwanted noise :/

No clip. The noise is every iem though. But this one is not bad. Just put the cord under your jacket ot shirt so it doesnt dangle around.
The wind noise is alright. Obviously it wont be as good as a smaller iem

Dammit! I wanted the Ltd because of the color, but because the specs are different I might have to go with the regular CKR9...

huh? how do you know they have the CRK10 sound signature just because they have same specs as CRK10?

I never say CKS9LTD have CKR10 signature, just saying they have difference spec with original CKR9 and identical spec with CKR10 , which means CKR9LTD will have difference sounds than the original.
 
How it sounds? I don't know.. I don't have the limited one so I can't say

I`ve demo`d all 3 I can assure you the ltd has a different sound sig to the other two, which sound different from each other.  From my AK120ii, the difference is quite noticeable, not subtle, because I could detect it clearly both times I tried these - both were in noisy environments.  Could be the housing, could be that extra 5k on top, could be some other tuning they`ve done or all of the above.  Can`t provide any other adjectives, but I will say that the ltd sounds closer to the 9 than the 10.  In an ideal listening environment the 10 might shine; but right now for me the LTD is clearly superior.  It`s LTD > CKR9 > CKR10 
 
The negatives to the LTD are just hideous red+pink color theme, like a bleeding barbie doll. . . .    
And no removeable cables . . .

 Except the LTD is 12g and the CKR10 is 16g, which is kind of a huge diffence for such a big iem . . . 

 

[Dopaminer]

With linum vocal cable

 
Very cool, Jambul. Could you confirm something about the stock cable : is it 4 wires all the way to the 3.5mm plug ?  Or do they share the ground ?  I am thinking about balanced retermination . . .

Hmm, guess all i need is a clip now lol. As my country is hot all year round.. Just wondering, do you find the pouch that they provided did a good job protecting the IEM? I find it too flimsy IMO. If you use other kind of pouch/case mind showing me?
