You should also try some of the new alpha pads on the mad dogs.

Pick your poison.
Though, it sounds like there should be additional rules to your question. Like, you can only weigh 3 balls on each side at a time, or you have to do it in a specific amount of times or else the time bomb explodes, you're in a movie and that oddball bearing is the key to unlock riches beyond your wildest dreams so you get an adrenaline dump that immobilizes one hand and so on.
Damn you that took me an hour...
I still haven't solve the ball bearings problem warrenpchi posted.
My review sample of the RHA MA350, and the recent talk of IEMs made me feel flippity-floppity with IEMs purchase again. Suggestions for a few IEMs around the MDR7550 price max.
IDk why I keep doing this and never am going to buy any. :\ I guess my disinterest in audio is a thinly-veiled lie I made to myself.

are you srs? omg that is sexy
Edit: though if I think about it, it'd be a bit too flashy to wear outside
My stupid CLAS LOD is cutting out again. I removed Raven from the chain and just plugged Eva into my Classic using my Fiio LOD just to make sure my Classic wasn't to blame. With the Fiio connector I have no problem whatsoever. When I have Raven in the mix and sitting on a table everything is fine. When I put the rig in my pocket and start walking around I get my audio cutting out and I have to pull the LOD out and reinsert it to reestablish the iPod CLAS handshake. I so hope that ALO LOD solves this dumb problem. You'd think a company that advertises a mobile DAC would do a better job manufacturing a proper LOD that could take the punishment of someone walking with it in their parka pocket without the connector loosening up. Seems like the more I walk around with it the looser the CLAS LOD becomes.
Has anyone here compared the Kaede to top tier iems or ciems. Is there another way to get them than 950 bucks on musica acoustics ? I should ask on the dedicated thread but it seems nobody knows much...

The purple line is supposedly from LCD-2 and the red is from the Mad Dogs with new pads. It looks pretty impressive.
A 15K peak, as seen in the LCD-2, is often perceived as "bright" or "detailed". Though if it passes above the level of 1K (the arbitrary flat point), it will often be perceived as "sibilant" or "no bass" (which is not actually lack of bass, it's too much treble).
So though those graphs look similar, the shape of the graph up near the 10-15K range should give them a very different sound, with the LCD-2 being generally perceived as more detailed.
(Tyll is the master of looking at graphs and guessing what they'll sound like, BTW. He has a lot of hours of practice.)
I haven't been following this closely but you should definitely ask ALO for replacements.
But that aside, I flinched on reading how you use it. It's difficult to make interconnects that compact that will endure that kind of usage for long. If you have to use them that way, make sure there is never any external pressure on the interconnects. Not even light bouncing.
