The discovery thread!

Happy Friday!

Fantastic haul with that 50Strings and the mammoth S12 (2024)!!!

I also see you bit on that TRN MT5. I had it in my cart when I got the coupon that made it $5.00, but after reading reviews, it's another overtly bassy offering by TRN.

Color matching worked out well enough.

So many different graphs for this. My set kinda matches up the most with Practiphile's.

No burn in yet so I can hear that slight veil over the midrange, but definitely an improvement over the S12 pro and S08. Thicker sound, significant bass boost as well. Lovely mid-bass. They did a great job eliminating sibilance and fatigue. Doesn't take long to tell this is a fantastic planar. Value for $ on this one is up there.

Dang! You selling some of your loves! What do you have in mind for your wishlist buy?

I got mine a bit earlier than 11.11. I was able to cash out my Christmas Club, and along with that $1,300 I made with my own fire sale, I picked up the Cayin N3U to replace my for sale iBasso DX170.

nothin, im checking out for right now. Will be getting a cable for my Phantom in for review sometime, but I am satisfied for now. Maybe more audio toys next year after the holidays.

I really know when I've fallen for an IEM when I glance at it and get excited about an upcoming listening session...



Now playing this album as part of Friday night Bandcamp shopping and sounding fantastic, the bass is unreal, and the BCD really does create an incredibly visceral experience in terms of imaging - if I could make one change it would be to have ESTs for treble instead... but overall, a fantastic and highly addictive set. Oh and a different cable too

"I really know when I've fallen for an IEM when I glance at it and get excited about an upcoming listening session..."

I get the same feeling each time SHOCK comes out to play for a listening Session.

Hopefully you get to share that feeling with the others at the meet up.

TRN MT5 has a solid all-metal shell, fingerprint magnet though even with the dark gunmetal color. So far, I'm impressed with this $12 budget set. Bassy, yes, but good quality bass actually, quite speedy and textured. I'd say a bit better bass than Saga, and the MT5 has very good punch, made me break out the air drums. Two thumbs up on the Starboy test. It's got a good level of bite, well-controlled pinna gain and treble. Nice timbre. You can turn the volume up on this one, I rate it highly in the fun and enjoyment category.

Budget sets nowadays are insane.

There's also the Sound Rhyme SP01 at $89 with 3 tuning nozzles. I think that's an excellent set.

I think the SP01 with its clear nozzle hits way above its price point. It fits my preference for a full bodied low end very well while still maintaining the required amount of air.

I’m not sure why they designed it that way. Maybe it’s for easy placement and to hold over the fake camera bump.

But if the case FLAP gets too annoying. I’ll wait for your impressions of the R4 Miter case.

I'm saving it for tomorrow with fresh ears. This MT5 has me groovin for the past couple hours lol! Its bass has that addictive quality that's matched by the treble.

This feels like a discovery to me and I wanted to share it with my Discothread Brothern!

The SMSL MDA1 RAW came in today, I immediately hooked it up to my last latest purchase, the SH-9 and wow, boys.

I’ve been rocking portables and the Topping L30/D10s stack for a while now and this is just the absolute next level.

Try DC Elite + SH-9 too sir!
