Silver cable? HahaYou just made me think of something, and I'll report back if it makes a difference? Hmm...

As I sit here typing, the ST7 sit in my ears. All the new IEMs streaming into my home, and the ST7 just hit a sweet spot with me. For the ST7, I'm using the Aur Audio mushroom tips. Perfect marriage. I love these earphones more than most. We have a lot of gear in common, including the MT300, ST7, T3, Trio, and GK10. Cheers!Yes, I love my MT300, as you will see from my signature. ST7 going well, I am using the "Spring" type tips, they are really good. I swapped out the cable for the modular one which came with my ST5. I will try it balanced today.
I was about to say I have heard good things about the ifi GO pod but it’s like 400 bucks lol nvm!
I'd rather a shot of notes than a shot of whiskey, and music is healing vs numbing. CHEERS and BOTTOMS UP!I’ve been glued to this thread all week man, but I suppose audio is the better addiction since it keeps me optimistic and doesn’t destroy my health.
The ZS10 Pro 2 doesn't need any modding, aside from picking the right tips and a nice copper cable. They sing and they sing without any peaks to my old ears. @Leonarfd has good young ears, so he's still FRESH with the sensitivity LOLReminds me of the old days here when @Slater was still around (mod in peace, bro) and he and some other nerds here were modding the living cr@p out of those KZ, CCA, TRN, BLON, etc..., including 'inside jobs' ... opening them up, dampening individual drivers, etc...
Not for everyone but OTOH no rocket science either. Even though I'm not much of a fan of xy-brids, if the pos. reviews on the Pro 2 keep coming in I might get a pair myself and see what can be done IF the upper midrange somewhere around that prominent 3k peak needs some work ... might be worth it.
The good 'ol ZS6 ... after some mods (cotton tubes, blue tack dots on new steel meshes, mesh filter on one of the treble BAs) they've been my daily bangers on public transport for quite some time ... I still own 4 sets, lol.
Once I'm at it ... something that might have escaped some folks is that there are 2 versions of the ZS6 (that have been discussed quite a bit back then). The first batch(es) sport some spicy older Bellsing BA for the treble that some folks here didn't like too much but at some point KZ switched to new custom Bellsings and while that helped a bit to tame the hot trebles some modders here, myself included, preferred the spicier OG version (with some quick and dirty mods, see above).
Can't please everyone, but at least they keep trying
Did @Slater pass away, or are you just being satirical since he last logged in 3 years ago? He was a very good resource in this thread.Ok, Akros and a 1DD tuned by him is definitely worth to keep your eyes and especially ears open.
The 10k dip is fine, but the 8k peak worries me a bit. The ~13k peak is negligible. But what I'm looking forward to is that there's a very very mild rise where the pinna gain region begins, and to take out a bit of the higher mids might be something I enjoy.
...and since it's Akros, our wallets likely will enjoy this upcoming release nonetheless because he's always after the best budget performers out there and my bet is, it won't cost a fortune.
Who else read warren's last line and Marvel's Loki popped in your head? LOL Also, quite interesting you posted this Warren, because yesterday I used this feature for the first time! I found myself thinking I should use it instead of flooding with posts?Really?
- The Watercooler Thread has always been behind this thread in the number of posts.
- Over in The Watercooler Thread, Rockwell75 has chastised people for not multi-quoting.
- I posted the reminder above, only after receiving complaints about post spamming occurring here, and I was hoping that a stitch in time would save nine. But I'm perfectly happy to just let posts get reported and deleted, and for more extensive thread pruning to happen as a result.
My library is mostly metal and electronic, so I thought mid lows is more valuable for me than extension on the highs, hence the choice.
Man, I am so grateful to you for this post, every word has golden value, exactly what I wanted to hear, thank you so much!
DaVinci is off the menu then, I would rather get Hype 4 really, mid bass bleed don't sound good, and the extension on highs albeit not a priority but still nice to have.
Pilgrim OG is tempting, but it could be mid bass shy and a bit shouty for my library.
... So I decided to pivot and ordered Simgot EM10, mostly because of a sizable Linsoul coupon I found in the mail, and the brand reputation.
I know it's unwise to buy stuff before the bulk of reviews are published, but I got robbed of my IEMs, had to order new asap, and just wanted to get one of the latest releases. The budget buds I get by with currently ain't gonna cut it for me much longer, hehe.
Wait I also miss him and wondering where he goes all this time. We talked so much about mod stuffsDid @Slater pass away, or are you just being satirical since he last logged in 3 years ago? He was a very good resource in this thread.
See the original Chinese IEM/headphone thread. It was as lively and thriving as this very thread, and drama got it shut down permanently. The one currently alive and well is the junior clone. The corpse of the original thread can be accessed I believe, but not associated with anymore. So it happens.Thread drama is the worst sort of drama. It makes me worried about someone someday just turning the lights off and shutting the door on what is one of my favourite pastimes lately.
So basically, we got Karen's who are going in private and wanting thread posters deleted, sanctioned, censored, or banned, because they don't like the frequency of someone's posts? Am I in the ballpark? No need to answer. It's rhetorical. Jezzus, people can't just be happy and go with the flow. There's always that person.I can not. As stated in our Posting Guidelines, private messages are private, and there's no need for me to get into who has made complaints. Suffice it to say, not all of you in this thread are happy with some of the rapid fire posts that happen here.
