  Wow, 3 of you recommend the IEB6.  One of you should start a dedicated thread on them.

..and they need to be compared to the Puro and Carot One

Agree.  I'd love a compare of Tenore, Puro IEM500, Carrot One Titta, and LZ-A2

Nice review! I currently use the HifimeDIY U2 sabre dac + Cayin C5 amp. I'm actually quite happy with the combo, but of course that doesn't stop me from checking out other dac/amps.
 
I wonder if the Slim be an upgrade sound-wise?
 
It would probably be smarter for me (and poorer for my wallet) to spend a bit more for an upgrade to something like the Ifi Micro or the Grace m9xx or something.
 
Just talking amongst myself lol!

Thanks Wayne!

I'm not familiar with the U2 but the C5 is a mighty good amp and I will not call the amp in the Slim better. Different yes, better no

So I'm with you, better to spend more JK, but I agree that something that's a more clear step up would be logical.

Please do. I'm hearing a lot about these IEB6. I have the Page bookmarked on Amazon.

Hmm, I just saw this: SMSL M8 dac on massdrop for $149US.
 
That one also seems to be pretty good. Maybe get it and later on another amp (but use the C5 for now). Too many options lol!

Why was the Chinese thread locked?

  Why was the Chinese thread locked?

Thanks news to me! Probably related to people posting ads for Aliexpress stuff....just a guess.

 

[Libertad]

Shameless self promotion is grounds to get baned on head-fi so its not to far of a stretch to imagine it locking a thread 

 

[Grayson73]

Sad to see it happen because of one guy.  They should just ban him and keep the thread open.

+1. I don't get it.

 

[eaglearrow]

So sad to see such a great and helpful thread getting locked. I agree with others, i think others should not suffer for the mistakes of 1 or 2 members.

Yeah it is a shame, was enjoying the thread and looking forward to getting some cheap IEM's to play around with in the new year.

Think it needs someone who's been a long term contributor of that thread to start a new one, with some widely approved IEM's from the original thread in the OP?
