Re-sharing an odd-ball, GS Audio ST10 since I finally found a good pairing
cable to draw full potential out of it, after 30 cables try and error. Tried XINHS, Hakugei, PW Audio, TRI, Satin Audio, Linsoul, etc etc, some made sound utterly unbearable on ST10.
Also went thru a routine ear tip roll, ended up to fake SpinFit CP360.
Original
Remind you something?
ST10 is more mid-bass fat than Fatfreq Maestro Mini’s bass floor. You can imagine how it would end.
Original tuning is simply too boomy, it like this;
95% of who saw this will not recognize the existence of a hunter in wooden camouflage (look at the tree on top right)
It’s about same with ST10’s stock tuning. 95% bass, and you hardly could see anything else.
ST10’s driver info:
Sub-woofer: Sonion 38 AcuPass (2BA)
Bass-Mid: Sonion 37 (2BA)
Mid-Treble: Sonion 2389D (2BA)
Super Tweeter: Knowles SWFK (4BA)
After cable/tip rematch, ST10 ended up with following signature:
-UM MEST MKII like bass-head satisfying bass floor
-Proper Knowles SWFK x 4 tweeter backed high-density / well textured treble as you can expect from high-end models
-not overly recessed mid
-wide artificial diffusion field, it’s fun
My perception of recabled ST10 is closer to Softears RS10’s FR
How does it sound like?
It sounds like strip club at 3am.
Bass, sparkling lights & girls, night club BGM. You’re already deeply drunk but still having a tequila shot. That feeling.
EDM Electronica / Trance / Techno on ST10 is one of a kind.
Artificial Wide Diffusion Field x high layering x head knocking bass set up matches with EDM especially well.
It’s not necessarily a good IEM, but I don’t have any other IEM that sound like 3am strip club, so that’ll do it!
