The discovery thread!

[W0lrince]

Such a beautiful iem! I have not given mine enough attention and that needs to be rectified soon.

Oh, the ladies know

In your rating chart, is a high sibilance score mean there is a lot of sibilance or is it the opposite?

I don't like warm set much but Abyss is good. Very enjoyable and scale really well, i used it with Mojo at first and i thought "this sounds expensive" lol
The higher the score, the less likely you will get sibilance.

Anyone have Burson V7 vivid opamp? Can you share your impression?

Look what's arrived! Aful Explorer which seems to be done exploring and has settled at my place.

This one is promising upon first listen. The Bassiest IEM I own or have tried. It also fits like a glove. An ear glove?



More to come

Explorer is great so far. Like a less expensive, warmer and chiller DaVinci in a more comfortable shell.

Okay maybe I'm just thick-headed but I enabled 2FA and still see nowhere in that giveaway thread to enter a reply.

No reply button, no reply box, no nothing.

I submitted a ticket and got this response from Head-fi:

In order to comment in Head-Fi Classifieds, one would need to meet the requirements for posting a classified:

Poster must be a member of Head-Fi for over thirty days
Poster must have 2FA enabled
Poster must have over fifteen posts on Head-Fi's forums in order to post in the Classifieds area.

Since you just enabled the 2FA it might take a bit of time for it to register? Maybe try back in a day or so.

Cables don't change sound.

Your brain think they do, especially Pyramid Cables.
Your brain controls you. Therefore they sound better to you

Just untrue.

 

[GroovyAudio]

Guys, please don't fight over this cable think. I like to believe we're like a familly here. For me personally I just wanted a higher end cable like this pyramid to try with other iems just to have a "complete sound". If my brain is tricking me so be it, I don't mind as long as I'm satisfied.

Certaintly don't go spend that much money on a cable.

Amazon mail fail.

Calipers came in. Plastic around it was broke and it's missing the cover for the battery. Sooo, yeah.

 

[nikbr]

Burning the Explorer in with some serious bangers.
Give this one a go if you like some bass in a crazily well-structured song. Be warned, those drops don't come in softly!

 

[FreeWheelinAudioLuv2]

Add KZ x HBB PR2 and KZ Castor Harman (DDDD).

Never got to try the HBB PR2 out, as it got lost in transit, and refunded. Instead of getting it replaced, I bought the Celest Abyss instead.

I just realised the HiBy R4 is only an Extra $40.

Makes the R4 sooooo Attractive.

Edit : compared to the shanling M1 plus @$209. https://www.head-fi.org/threads/int...of-compact-mtouch-players-at-just-209.973683/

Looks like the only advantage of the M1 Plus is size, as the R4 outpaces it in pretty much every other facet, and price. So if size and price are a xopncern, the M1 plus would be it. If not, then the extra few bucks would steer you to the R4?
