Is it me, or do the spinfit cp360 uplift the mids in the mt300 a bit and lower the bass slightly, resulting in a more balanced iem with more intimate vocals I love from the ssr/ssp?

The MT300 can easily benefit from changing the ear tips for a more profound enhancement in sound, since the size, length, and thickness of the silicone ear tips can actually bring out the best of these already detailed monsters. The MT300 are an incredible platform for one of the best EST driven IEM's I've ever heard.

It's a little bit late but I finally got the time to review the Tripowin TC-01. Its unexpectedly hold up quite well for a cable company but I still think there is a lot IEM that can surpass it.
Well... that doesn't mean it is entirely average in its overall performance tho.

Legit spent the whole noon taking this pic and realized some new trick with digital editing.

Wow, this is quite a price hike, they are on taobao for quite some time and selling for 700 rmb, so it's just over 100 usd.
Taobao link: https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?sp...kecGsE&id=629825246554&ns=1&abbucket=3#detail

Is there a way to order from taobao if I live in UK? Sorry if this is a stupid question

Yea but it involves going through a shipping agency such as Superbuy or Taubau's own service (but you need to be able to read Chinese).
It's a stretch for an iem that doesn't have any reviews (for me anyway).

Yes, but you pretty much need to understand Chinese.

Can't wait for KZ to respond to this with the 16-driver KZ ASXVI Pro X with 8 30095BAs yet zero treble priced at $150 with the same terrible basic box and accessories.

But seriously though, I want these ultra high driver count BA IEMs from budget companies like KZ and TRN to mature this year, because last year the ASX and BA8 were massive disappointments tuning wise and both were outdone by their much cheaper hybrid cousins (ZAX, CA16, V90s etc.).

If either company released a technicalities monster with a huge driver count that isn't also tuned terribly, they might have my money.

I guess the more the driver count,the more it gets difficult to maintain the coherence.

Oriolus announced it's latest dap ,the DPS L2. It's one of the few daps with ES9038 Pro. There's analog potentiometer, mechanical buttons and balanced output. Most importantly it's got a nice retro vibe to it.

Superbuy app works in english and it shows me the price of 114$ plus a charge for shipping, that would be calculated after they recieve the item. So it would be quite a saving if the postage price superbuy charges would be adequate

NANO Particle Solution-1260



NPS-1260 magnetic field enhanced connection treatment material.



What's so different about NPS-1260 is that this solution doesn't focus on electron transfer as a contact enhancer might. Instead, it focuses on magnetic or more precisely “electro-magnetic field” transfer it is uniquely set apart in this concept and design.

Snake oil much? $599+shipping for this contact enhancer.

Great snake oil nail polish! A pity it came out 2 weeks too early, should have launched on April Fools' day. Would have been the best occasion to launch this!

I wonder if it can improve the sound of a Beats headphone?

Yeah, that whole 'buy your item, ship it to us, THEN we'll tell you what shipping will cost' approach turns me right off.
It's a shame, as the 'large format' 14mm planar in an iem really quite appeals. Dunno if bass would be up there with good DDs in that price range, but I'd have taken a punt if Linsoul were asking 120-ish for it as I think I kinda like the coherence of lower driver count iems. (that TRN 15 driver is a looker though!).
I just got some NiceHCK NX7 pro's, and while I feel there's many things to commend them, there's something about the way they present cymbals, hi-hats, hand claps and-the-like that draws my attention in almost every track I listen to, and not in a good way
Gonna sell them I think, and get a spare pair of Shuoer Tapes, as I prefer them a little (or maybe I should try the MT 300 since it also has that MASH (MAgnetoStatic Hybrid) driver compliment that I like so much in the Tape (and people seem to be impressed with the bass, which is important to me).

Even though I forgave my Echobox Explorer it's 'quirky' pocket flask styling, since it was pocket practical and well made from beautiful materials, and could happily enjoy the cassette screen saver of the Sony 105 anniversary, I just can't get on board with the Oriolus.
It looks large, impractical and just TOO gimmicky for a supposedly high end device.
One of my first portable music players was an OG Sony Walkman, but despite my nostalgia for that, this just turns me off completely.
The screen size to device size ratio looks antique.
I suppose that's what they're going for, but, bleh
Maybe it'll sound spectacular though.

The MT300 is a good choice. You may want to consider the Shuoer Tape Pro which is an improvement on the original.

The Aiderlot M5 (5 knowles BA, 200 usd on Amazon), seems to have totally gone under our radar here. Included accessories are pretty good and includes 2 cables, 1 without mic (the one on the closeup pictures) and measures at 0.3 ohms which is pretty good. The other has a mic and measures at 1,3 ohms which is pretty bad.

First impressions (with the reference filter):

Bass: Typical BA bass in tightness and speed although it does stand out a bit with the timbre as being a bit better than average (for BA iems).

Mids: male vocals are clean and detailed but it does need some more warmth. Female vocals however are actually amazing. Tonality, details and clarity are all very good and so is the timbre.

Treble: well tuned treble that is bright but not shouty. Clean and detailed with good extension. Timbre is quite good here as well.

Mids and treble remind me a lot of the Tanchjim Oxygen, so this might be a more budget Oxygen (although the bass is of course better on the Oxygen being a DD vs BA, but for the kind of music that these 2 shine with, the bass isnt that important anyway). Wont comment on which one I think is better yet, but the Oxygen is the one this reminds me of the most.

The MT300 has a lot users reported that their units died after around half- year of use. Mine was DOA I asked for a replacement and sold the pair.
