I’m very impressed with your interpretation for Classical 1Z. This is definitely top dog. Soundstage is very wide and grand, coupled with 1Z depth makes amazing 3 D stage. Feels very natural, lifelike. Timber spot on. Speed is right, no too fast or too slow. Separation is very good, you can hear every instruments clearly without having to strain yourself, even during complex passages. Bass is slamming, hits hard and no bleed. F*ck the vocals and echoes, they’re haunting. Most importantly to me, you achieve all this having energy, excitement while still sounding very bold and musical. This is done Right. Applaud to you!

Just want to say, AVLOS, DIAVLOSS as well as Solis and Classical 1Z are the top FW for me. Thank you all to who makes all these possible. You guys have amazing Tiger Ears. Continue churning up these FW and keep raising the bar Higher!


I’m using mod 1Z J Region 3.02, ALO 16 Gold iem cable and EE Phantom, never my fav since it’s so thick, cloudy and syrupy, but now I’m in heaven.

Glad you like it.

Glad you like it.

I just want to say, the magic is in high gain.

Just earlier, I was listening low gain, I was like, hey this sounds lifeless, so different from my earlier perception, and when I turn on high gain, voila the magic is back again.

The difference is that in low gain, everything sounds flat & monotone, while in high gain, there's energy, peak and valleys, live vocals, notes & instruments have weight, bass hits hard, treble goes high. Huge difference in sound qualities and enjoyment, music becomes alive, and playing loudly helps too.

Glad you like it.

Do you have the updated classical for wm1A?

 

[siruspan]

I would say that J is more accurate on WM1A, MX3 is more enjoyable. J is more balanced which lends to those of us who listen across multiple IEM & genres

CN - Tuned for the Chinese market, heavy on resolution, bass is tamed
CA - Mid bass spills over, big fun & bouncy wears off in time
J - Relatively neutral, little veiled in the treble, equally allows for prolonged listening without fatigue
E - V shaped, can be piercing with some highly resolving IEM's, fine on ZX300, not so much on WM1A
MX3 - U shaped very musical and enjoyable
TW - Trades of resolution for bass, with narrower staging

Worth noting these changes are rather nuanced, depending on your IEM & HP, choice of genres and hearing; if I had to call it J & MX3...

Q-6

I use E on WM1A because it just sounds best to my ear but I agree that if someone uses iems that have any hint of sharpness that can be too much with that region. It isn't even how much treble you're iems have it's about how good they are.

Region E was fine with CF Andromeda on ZX-300, I may revisit as the WM1A has now has a lot more hours on the clock which another factor, equally E is more V shaped. J is flatter and presents a certain warmth. As I like to listen across many genres and with various IEM's the more balanced tuning of J works well for my needs.

As ever no rights or wrongs, it's all a matter of personal taste & hearing

As a WM1A user, Autum+ and IER-Z1R just feel so nice, I cannot go back to other FW. I still need to try spring, but Autum+ 3.02 with J region has amazing synergy.

Classical tune for NW-WM1Z is up! >> Here

Much improvement over the 1A version. I'll update a much better tune for vinyl and classical for 1A soon.

Thanks @RobertP for the Classical FW for 1Z and it is another fantastic one! The soundstage, resolution and smoothness is perfect for me with my stock 1Z and preferred music genres. Congrats for the great work and thanks for your selfless sharing. I am trying Vinyl FW on my modded 1A and wonder whether there will be an updated version as well?

 

[RobertP]

Yes. I just finished right now. >> Here
Enjoy!

OK Vinyl for WM1A is updated.

 

[RobertP]

Much much better in Vinyl

Does sq change when you resolder broken solder joints in the jacks? Also how do you open up the wm1a?
