The discovery thread!
Nov 30, 2022 at 12:06 AM Post #68,011 of 100,524
I remember the only way to get some of their best IEMs was using a 3rd party shipping agent and you had to buy from Amazon Japan for example. Those were the days. Believe it or not I still own every AT IEM I have collected in the past. I use them on occasion, but I have to admit todays IEMs are so much superior for not even fragment of the prices AT was selling their top IEMS for.

But it was special to own a well made Audio Technica IEM. Infact you guys don't know this but this very thread was based on an Audio Technica IEM I found being sold for what was at the time dirt cheap. Was and old single dynamic called the Audio Technica CKM55

Any old timers know these things? This IEM was one of the first real discoveries that started this thread.

The IEM game has come a long ways since then that is for certain.

I found a pair of these at Ross and bought them for $6.99. Only pair of AT I ever found out in the wild.

I remember. I started my hobby with AT iems. Cks90 which was a great bass head set... My friend was using Cks55 which had more neutral tone or let's say at least less ear drum piercing bass than Cks90 had. Later I had Cks1000 and Ckm1000 before starting my journey towards Chi-Fi. I still have Ckm1000 in my collection though.

I remember that I was getting a lot of attention while using those Frankenstein looking Cks1000. Classic version was black but I had the limited edition which is red, obviously saying 'look at my crazy design!' more. They managed to pull some of my friends into Audiophile community. :)

Just look at the design and you'll understand me:

Is the cable (and $130 saving) the only difference to SCB2?
Yes, only the cable is different.The special version cable is provided by shozy, which is also used on the shozy new model - T1:relaxed:

The order was shut down even though PayPal was used. Fraud?
I've purchased 3 sets of IEMs through them and all sales have been processed and dispatched quickly. The item is still listed at the reduced price and adds to basket as normal. I'm not pushing "buy" just to test it. Everyone else's Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals appear to have expired on AE. Audiosense seems to have implemented their sales manually rather than use the same system as most stores.

I haven't used PayPal on AE though, it may handle differently than card:question:

The second DD should be in here:

Why is this part not opened up?
It's where the voice coil is located.
If I am not mistaken, the second DD should probably be inside here:

and to the right is the magnet of the main coil.

Don't have the NX7 and won't get a pair to confirm myself if they have been doing false marketing.
The one you pointed out and the right one makes a whole DD so it's not that clear to me that they really use double DD.

I'd expect sth like this :
