That's pretty interesting that a knockoff actually turned out to be good actually

For me this exact same (same seller) Yinjw "IE800" was very mid-bass oriented (DX50 & Aune T1). Couldn`t listen them for longer sessions, mid-bass just got too overwhelming.
Yes, they have pretty good imaging, separation and details but that mid-bass ruined everything for me. And I did gave them proper burn-in time too, without changes (I didn`t notice any).
I ended up sacrificing it as a cable donor to wooden version.
 
I prefer wooden Yinjw "IE800" (2014 open back grills) version over ceramic for sure. Though, wooden version may have little elevated bass over rest FR (not basshead-like), it almost doesn`t bleed at all to other FR and isn`t boomy or loose. In modified configuration this IEM sounds even more amazing

Yes, it's very important for some headphones to match a proper source!!
It's shocked me! I seems to understand why KEF M200 wasn't hyped as some other Chinese brands products. It's very sensitive to source. It's unimpressive for most my sources. Before, I found it's best with neutron througy Nexus 7, amplified by NX1. Recently I used it with Explorer, Man, So much details (more than IE800. well, I'm not sure if IE800 is also that picky to sources), such a huge soundstage, very neutral, very balanced, and sound a little bit warmer than other sources (before, I think it's too cold). It's phenomenal!

Ali CKR9LTD will be $52 on 11/11.
 
I wonder how it will compare to the LZ-A2.

Not even a close comparison.

If we are talking the same Aliexpress CKR9-LTD I listened to, I can say without any hesitation the A2 schiits all over it as its flying by in a luxury jet while the ALI CKR9-LTD putzes along a back country road on a beat up bicycle.

I would choose back country road with beat up bicycle over luxury jet for sure (not talking about IEM`s ). Point is - lot depends on personal preferences.

Well, to an extent, but this is referring to sheer technical ability correct if I am wrong. Sure people have preferences for one type of sound but this is more about which is the more technically capable iem right?

So to be more specific what are the differences between them?

LMAO oh man you have a way with words

 
When it comes to Vince (@Hisoundfi, tagging you bud to make sure you don't miss it), the only deciding factor I would take into consideration is which one will he fish out of the bowl if it "drops" down?

I'm going off of memory, but I'm confident that the LZ A2 are better than my CKR9-LTD was in just about every single way possible, primarily in resolution.

Guys, the A2 is on part with the best of what I have. They absolutely rock. Check the thread started for them. I'm not the only one saying it.
