  For me Spinfits are one of the worse tips for any IEM. I've tried them with around 20 different in-ears and the effect was always poor to say the least. Several of my friends share the same opinion. Don't know what the hype is all about.

 
I agree completely, and here's the reason why:

I can relate to them being comfier than many other tips, particularly for narrow ear canals. Still, based on acoustics, better avoid unless you know exactly what you're trying to achieve.

This cable increases the microdetail extraction of ex1000 to a new level. It no places it on the same league as my kse1500.

 
 
 
 
Oh yeah?
 
This cable gets me a 30% discount on lap dances. Not the seedy places bro...the only kinda seedy places
 

 
 
 
 
 
 
This one makes micro details thingy like yours and wait for it....
 
Yup CHEETOS!! Makes god damn CHEETOS!! Put it near a wifi router and BLAM!! CHEETO rain!!!
 

 
 
 
This one ?
 
Nah...no...some stuff stays in the book of secrets.

I know, it's expensive, the seller has shipped these before to Hong Kong, even in the link it says will ship to Hong Kong, but once you click in, Taobao doesn't allow it.
 
The seller asked me to add a new China address and link it to my Hong Kong address, then QQ or something like than send the full address and invoice number.

 
 
thanks for the info, if I have to go through those kinds of hoops to get them i'm just going to pass on them.  Might have to get some cables made by PETEREK.  wish i can listen to these balanced before deciding to get my own balanced cables made.

It's pretty no doubt.
 
I remember you from your old avatar of an old guy. Recognized the name but the avatar threw me.
 
I love the hell out of these. I got offered a 100,000yen for my EX1000 and cable. Lazy audiophiles who cannot be bothered to wait for their own.

EDIT:

Yes I used to have Avro Part but th recent political events made me do the least I can do.

I am getting used to the balanced sound of EX1000. The balance out makes the sound far more revealing and detail stand out more than I am used to.

I like your YouTube channel BTW :D

Just got my Ex1000's  yesterday.  Managed to get the Japanese version.  I like them so far, although they are slightly sibilant on certain songs when the volume is up.  Currently using stock tips (LL). Ordered some comply tips and will see how they work.  I get a pretty good seal with the LL's but I am hoping the Comply's will shave a bit off the high end.
 
Probably will be in the market for a new DAP as well.  Currently running Fiio X3 Gen2.  Suggestions welcomed.
 
I think I am going to have some fun with these.
 
Take care,
john
