HEXA x KBEAR Hazy x H570 = Spatial Magician, image positioning is very impressive and borderline of diffusion field is very far distant yet detailed.
Hazy was like $25 (now $21), and the finish of the cable is some serious high end grade, it’s good

2 years ago, this $20 range was full of junky cables, Tripowin Zonie was considered better quality ones among those. Now even with $20, you have very good cables like NiceHCK MixPP($17), KBEAR Hazy ($21), I’m glad even for cable market the competition forced cable brands to brush up their quality

The Zonie is an excellent budget cable, but I've bought some nice Linsoul cable, I picked up about 4 HCK cables, and I do have the Hazy in the cart. The Hulk is supposed to be arriving any day now from China! I've been spending way more than I need on cables. If only my wife knew just how much? OUCH!! Not the back of my head!!! LOL

One IEM that should get some love is the Venture Electronics (VE) Grand Duke (1DD). U-shaped sound singature that is very musical and warm. And with the stock VE pure silver cable it sounds vintage like the Penon Serial but better.

Hello, this is my first post ever. Do anyone has the measuring of the Moondrop Aria without the hex dumper filter on or with Kxxs filter on? I would love to check out the graph for that since the sound really fits my tatse.

Hazy & BlackSoul is next gen level of cable, very good made including its aesthetics Too bad cables are very colorful and easy to tell you’ve got a new one

I guess you read my post on Moondrop’s thread about removing Aria’s metal hex filter by clips

Unfortunately I haven’t seen any measurements of those, it basically improves overly dampened timbre (you will have more natural transient response) of stock Aria. From FR perspective, you will also have a little increase in upper mid area and 10khz+ and slightly lighter bass for increased visibility.

Back then Moondrop’s thread was still active and Moondrop official headfi account was following that thread. I sent feedback on Aria’s tuning and Moondrop acknowledged.

They come up with Aria SE ( basically Starfield’s reshelling project) and did improved that part.

From what I hear, the filter removed Aria Mod is basically what Moondrop did to their Aria SE tuning. Hope this helps.

Thank you so much. I have been reading this thread quite a bit here and there but until now that i have a reason to post something. I'm just starting into this hobby so i really appreciate the helps

Speaking of ear tips. Anyone know any Tanchijim IEM that comes with complementary T-APB ear tips, like Chu & Spring Tips, TRN MT4 with T-Ear tip(M)?

The T300T is intriguing.
T-APB = Tanchijim Air Pressure Balance

A company calls Air Pressure Bal for their ear tip must know what they are doing. I know they have proper FEA analysis engineer that has great technical insights in acoustics with MATLAB/ABAQUS.

The T300-T is a phenomenal tip. Best mid bass thump I’ve heard from a tip. Definitely need to get more pairs.

Feel like selling iem is a good reason to buy more iem, right? Anyway Simgot Ea500, is it good for EDM? Currently looking for deep bass with energetic sound signature

You may think I’m crazy, but KZ’s new ZS5 is surprisingly good for EDM.

I believe in ya but i need a good timbre, also.

New ZS5 has got quite good timbre, the bellsing driver has improved quite much.

It’s basically less sibilant Timeless with surprisingly overdosed treble extension.

The low end has same units like GK10, a subwoofer DD + mid DD. The subwoofer DD is actually quite fast responding than the sloppy one of GK10. If you liked GK10, the chances are high that you may like new ZS5 more than GK10.
