Great! I already have 4 sets of IEMs en route to me... after tomorrow, it might be a few sets more if you guys post some smoking deals here. :)

Honestly though, I found the 11/11 sales a bit of a let down this year... a lot of hype, but not great deals. Plus, all of the stuff I bought even prior to 11/11 is still stuck in Customs... I mean, I don't mind waiting a few weeks for my stuff, but when it gets to over 40 days and counting, I start to get impatient. :)

Ya I know what your saying. It seems to take forever and a day for stuff from China to get to you. I suppose you have to have patience or just let the pakage surprise you. I was pleasantly surprised when my stuff got to me in 4 weeks instead of 5 like I was thinking.

I am convinced graphene is the new carbon nanotube. The way they describe graphene is very identical to how carbon nanotubes were described. Not to mention sound characteristics are very similar to boot. If so I know one thing, these are some stiff drivers in these earphones. There is a reason why Ibasso says to burn their IT01 for 120 hours. I would beat the living daylights out of them and for a long time.

Nano tubes is "advanced" now and in the Vsonic and DUNU dynamic flagships. Besides, carbon nanotube is pretty much are sheets of Grahene rolled up into a tube. The next big thing is probably this...

@Dsnuts I'm not jant but I had them out when I saw your comment. ZS5 upgrade cable fits like a glove. No mods needed.

UE cable no mods outside of a boot put on cause it was cut away to use with ASG earphone and ASG is an "inny" socket and UE is an "Outy" :) Either pin size can fit or made to fit so not a big deal. UE cable is indeed more towards balanced and not as bass slanted it seems.

So @jant71 I was taking a look at possible upgraded cables for the RT-1 and I am wondering with some minor modifications if the KZ cables might fit them. The pins look like the .75mm variety and not the .78mm.
I used the stock ES3.ZST cable, since I like the 90 degree connection at the headphone. I did have to crave out a bit of the plastic, since the cable is keyed with the weird U shape. I couldn't stand the memory wire of the stock RT-1 cable, and was pretty bummed that you can't remove the memory portion without destroying the cable. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the ES3/ZST cables are .78mm, but I can never remember since KZ can't seem to make up their mind on pin size.

Okay guys.
This message is mainly aimed @B9Scrambler as well as a few other guys on here that have praised the TIN-Audio T2.
So a few days ago I posted on the LZ-A4 site that "I am DONE with buying Earphones"...
And yet here I am again (only 2 days later!)... Ha!

Too many of you guys just got me intrigued by the T2, so I couldn't resist!

Ever since B9 first mentioned the T2, I just couldn't get it out of my head..
I think it's because I really want to try out a more neutral iem..

I mean, yes my A4 with the Blue Back/Gray front has a pretty neutral signature, but I kind of want a slightly crisper treble (like crisp in the 8k to 16k area)...
The gray filter cuts too much of the A4's high end where as the other front filters let too much 2k/3k through..
Sure I can EQ it back in there, but EQ can add a few minor issues of it's own sometimes.
That said; I find that my DX50 does a great job with EQ, although I wish it had more then 10 bands.

Anyway, I also got the T2 for really cheap, so I figured, "why not??".

BTW: If any of you guys (or gals) want the T2 for real cheap, and you are willing to download the AliExpress APP along with the "-$3 for 39 store coupons" you can get it from the banned seller WooPeasy or NiceHCK for $36+ change.

In order to get the -$3 coupon from NiceHCK just order a $.078 earphone case with your order and it will make the total @ $39.03 and then you will qualify for the -$3 coupon...

WooPeasy will also ship via ePacket so it might be a better deal if you want it faster.
