OK my fellow loungers old Pod's finally figured out he is an Audio Madman and here is just a sampling of his dairy to prove it, any of you that feel confident in his portable Universal iem prowess and want to take a shot at all 19 of these can have a small surprise from Poddy

I knew you would have no trouble with TA stuff and I still have 4 - 5 TA's at home plus I have zero KZ's in this photo
I know some of the cable combos will throw people and I'll be lenient as to just the specific model as long as the manufacturer is right
(We all hear them differently)
(Oh no he Deent)
My only regret is I failed to jump in time to get the green wood grain Deluxe version of these
Yep know Fischetti and his crew, Rob VW, Rob Trib, the Herzogs etc. all those race guys and gals from the 80's. Basically if they rode a Kawie I probably have met them once or twice.Well then I'm sure you are familiar with the "Fish"
He did a lot of mods for Shultz, Anderson, D.L.Wood, Foulkes, Matt Anderson, Clay Ingram and most of the top Texas riders of the day. Johnny actually designed a super charger for the Kawi 550 but never got the full backing and it never got off the ground but we ran some out at lake Travis and he was hitting almost 70mph with them You know back then the big hole shot skis were topping in the low to mid 50's.
OK Fine, I'll just gift myself
Left to right starting with top row: Note: All comments based on Pod's subjectivity
R1
1.) ASG Rockets still an amazing micro driver in-cased in Ti
2.) **** 4in1 still a killer hybrid IMO
3.) Noble "X" Great Noble house sound without losing your wallet
4.) Brain Wavz B400's Just incredible especially for $107
5.) Meze Solo Absolute beauty and total refinement and that Aminus person who referred to them as a Turd is entitled to their opinion because their like...................
6.) NICEHCK M6 not near as refined as BGVP DMG's but still for the price a nice effort
7.) Trinity Audio (I know for many Hiss, Argh, Bleck) but to me one of the departing designers finest efforts
R2
8.) Toneking Nine (9) Tails smooth as a babies bottom and one might be terribly wrong on assumed fitment
9.) TFZ Original single DD Secret Garden where that DD uses that giant cave to create an intimate sound signature
10. ) Sendiy M1221 and IMHO a highly underrated iem
11.) Advanced M5-1D Possibly (to date) one of the best tuned single DD's I've ever heard period
12.) BGVP DMG Just awesome and the DMS really made little gain (minute) once again IMO
13.) **** HQ12 with the right source one of the finest all BA to be had especially for $3 bones if not over driven
R3
14.) TFZ Queen's and honestly a work of art (and yes) in Pod's opinion
15.) BGVP DM6 a great effort on BGVP's account but I still prefer the DMG even to the DMS but that's just old Shrek ears for ya
16.) LZ A4 to this day one of my all time fave Chi-Fi, ended up liking them more than my departed FLC8s
17.) BGVP DMS Refined on paper but not to my ears but it could have just been what I was drinking on those 10-12 A/B sessions
18.) IMR R1 Zenith for me owning 10 TA's and the R1, Zenith is his best effort (mind you I did not try Aten or RAH) cause my brain tells me he is not going to top this and I'm slightly HARD HEADED
19.) Kinera IDUN Excellent step up from the Seed's and for a plastic/Acrylic shell very impressive indeed and maybe one of the most beautiful iem's eva! (Pay no attention to the guy behind the curtain)
You're all on your own for the cables as "My Butt Hurts" THX Bevis
Come on, would a guy with hair like this lie uh I mean "get it right"
Knew Doug the best out of the brothers. My now wife knew all those guys fairly well as she worked most of the races. Got some old pics somewhere at home. I was more of a xcross kid but got hooked up with those guys thru Kawasaki. Still know a few that work there but we're all close to retirement now.That's awesome, surprised you never heard of Johnny's shop. Here's a little background bio of Johnny
