That's the Totem "jr". The Actual $800 totem looks like a green garden hose.

OK then yeah we're missing that too. All that came was that and 2 os849. Were missing the Totem, 1 more 849, and my Orb

I feel very fortunate to have this combo in the Hifiman RE-00 and Sony A55 (Mr Walkman FW). What a treat to my ears. If you can get your hands on a pair of RE-00, i'd recommend you do (not for bassheads!!!). Very hard to find, as are any RE-0, RE-ZERO, or early RE anything. These are the Drop specials.

It wasn't my money, it's not my iem its my mom's 40yr retirement gift to herself, and there was a package deal that made it make sense. And even though it doesn't matter, it was paid in full by 5 shares of gme stock that were purchased a month prior for $19 and sold at $379 so it cost under $100 in actuality. But yeah go off meme God

And if you look at it from paying with dogecoin shares then it cost under $1 I sold over a million shares at .07 that were bought when it was worth a tenth of a cent, .0016 actually last march

If you got the coin, then indulge your whims, brotha! Congrats on mom's retirement, and stock savvy. Look at our own @jwbrent, who has blessed us with a few reviews of purchases that make yours look like budget shopping. LOL Not to mention @Dsnuts.

With the last 7 days in the stock market I'm chilling for a while, my portfolio increased over 500k which doesn't matter whatsoever it just rubs me the wrong way when people make comments trying to make people second guess their purchases that they are obviously excited about

 

[CamWuu]

Someone either stole our Totem cable, Penon Orb, and third OS849 cable shipped through DHL, or penon mailed them separately? The email they sent said that it was all shipped though which is why I'm very nervous

Welcome to the Internet
No offence, but most people do not like when someone brags about how much they have won in the lifes lottery, especially if someone sounds too co**y about it.
What difference does your portfolio makes in the grand scheme of things in the thread about discoveries in audio equipment? Or that you have bought a bunch of expensive stuff?I do hope that expensive stuff sounds great for the amount it costs.
I am more excited when people listen to blons or dq6 and are blown away, that so little can get you so much.
Peace as usual

On the topic of discoveries. I ordered a ton of tips hoping that I will find gems among them:

Elecom EHP-CAP20LWH

Radius HP-DME01K

Final Audio Type A

Final Audio Type B

Sony EP-TC50L

JVC EP-FX8L

JVC EP-FX2

The ones I have the most hope for is the Type A/B tips. Its always so frustrating when the Type E´s seems to always be out of stock and no one seems to have the Type A/B to know if they are good alternatives in those situations.

The JVC FX2 on the other hand is praised here: https://www.audioreviews.org/guide-to-iem-silicone-eartips/

So very curious to see if I agree with that or not. They only cost 300 jpy while the ordinary spiral dots are around 900 jpy, so could be a great budget alternative.

Here's a review of the HE-01... but it's in Russian.

Here's a review of the HE-01... but it's in Russian.



This is what I believe he says (mind, the last time I used Russian was 20 years ago, so I may be missing his meaning completely; maybe someone else who knows Russian better can translate with more specifics):
- The two eartip wheels contain tips labelled as "Vocal" and "Reference", but he didn't like them much and tested the earphone with SpiralDots.
- He repeatedly calls the sound of these "meaty", though at first he didn't like them, but after some burn in he was surprised by how much they improved. He found them to be shouty at first, but then the sound became more balanced.
- Overall tonality is warm, with slightly elevated mid-bass.
- The bass is "meaty" and is well-controlled. It has good slam. It has good definition and doesn't come across as blurred. It deals well with fast percussion parts. I believe he says this is not a bass-head IEM.
- He was surprised by the mids, which he considers to be something in between monitor-like and musical. Mids have good texture and are "meaty" - I suppose it's meant to say full-bodied?
- Well-defined, deep headstage. They give the impression of outstanding depth.
- Good layering
- They do well in rendering even soft sounds and make it easy to pinpoint the sources.
- They are revealing, so high quality recordings are recommended. They favour acoustic music over rock/metal, though that doesn't mean the latter two will sound bad.
- Highs are likewise "meaty" and weighty. He makes a comparison to balanced armatures and I believe he says that the HE-01 renders highs just as well as BAs. The highs are are of comfortable and soft nature
- I think he says that people sensitive to highs won't like this IEM much. So I suppose these are V- or L-shaped?
- By his tastes, the HE-01 is one of the best budget dynamic IEMs of 2020.

Oh i forgot ..Jurgen/Otto Motor/Schweinsgrüber reviewed them as well! I got confused because the name 'Kylin" now seems to be used only with listings for HE-03, which is more expensive
