These are DLC, or Diamond Like Carbon. Not the same as CNT and not really that bassy supposedly. True in the case of the CKS1100 which I had which were DLC(but they kinda lacked the charm and fun engaging nature of a CKS1000 in exchange for better balance and detail). Plus stainless and titanium do keep those vibrations down and should be better to keep that bass tighter. One of the filters should also tone the bass down some. Solidege also doesn't seem to be a bassy series like XX or the Woodies. Don't think there is too much to worry about this time as far as too much bass. Perhaps burn in will take a while to mature it to the best refinement though.

JVC also taking the XX Hi-Res the BT route...

Just got the Moondrop Nameless - highly irritating micro-phonics prone cable but otherwise it sounds very decent.

Ok this is a not a new find but given the price I was able to get it and that I had a gift card for that store I had to bite as I always wanted to try one of this companies higher end IEM's. For any Canadian members, these beauties are on sale at Visions Electronics for only $38. Have to say my brief listen so far has given me a huge smile. These things have a very nice full rich sound with cymbals having great presence with just the right amount of crash and decay. Vocals are also close to perfect as well. With singers like Patricia Barber having just a hint of sibilance which is spot on considering her enunciation of S's and T's. About the only area they might lack is sub-bass which is fully present but lacking a bit in heft.

So what are these beauties? Take a peak...

BTW DS this simple dual hybrid stomps a mud hole in the 1More Quad filling in all the things the Quad lacks in regards to clarity and dynamics while still having at least as good a 3D sound stage.

I would say this is the first dual hybrid I have really liked. All for only $38... Crazy!

Ahh Carbon Nanotubes....those were the good old days weren't they? Back in the days of those JVCs that had sound far beyond what we could imagine for a fraction of the cost.

Nowdays all of the Chi-Fi makes those innocent days of Tenso remailing and TJ Maxx bargain bin hunting seem so quaint.
