Isn't this the store that sells those fake IE900 at the cheapest price on Aliexpress?

I wonder if they decided to sell the shells again for DIY. I should pay them a visit.

Yes it is, Idk about shells but they started selling famous dark magician driver recently, about $22 for 2 pieces, so if you're unlucky poking through driver in your x-one while retuning you can grab new one for cheap

Sing--->KZ CASTOR--->Me

Hey, Sing...not bad at all...for 14€...WOW!! I haven't listened to CCA CRA+ for a while...but these might be even "better"... The bass is more textured. :ksc75smile:
Perhaps they don't slam that much...even with the bass improved...but it's nice...doesn't run away :)

Very, very, very nice IEMs—14€!!! It's a joke, so please, everyone, stop chit-chatting about the value and what it is worth.
Everything is waaaaay overpriced.
Luckily, we have CHI FI; I'm sure they'll soon offer stellar IEMs for less than a burger :)

FD11...still, if you find time and will, you could take these...they have bigger slam bass...and with Schiit Loki...you can lift it a bit even more :)

Castor are gentler sounding than FD11, too...FD11 are brutal, like Tina Turner's voice :)))

I am now even more excited to see what Trio brings :)

Cheers!

My review for the (2nd?) newest Crin collab up now on Head-fi and my blog. Was really surprised with the treble on these compared to past Crin tunings but man that fit is a struggle with those short nozzles 😬.

Also received my next review project today from @iFi audio. 😁

As always I REALLY appreciate everyone who checks my reviews and I'm always open to hearing how I can do things better.
Awesome!

Hope to see you here on this thread for some initial thoughts as well!!

Interestingly, someone told me that the kind of sound I like is more like what the microphone hears when recording. Live music are boomier and much less cleanly defined. But better "vibe".
Anni 2023. Demo it. Bass is so important to get done right.

Spending time at the moment with my favourite band since childhood...
I discovered them probably in '82.-'83. and since then...(even after discovering a zillion good stuff) I can still say #1 band forever for me :)
EURYTHMICS:
A&K Kann Alpha--->CASTOR--->ME :)

A few moments later :)
Edit: Bass is not even the main thing...The vocals are great, clean, sharp...who likes that :)
I might even lower the bass for better texture...I have all 4 now on 2 :)

Cheers!

Good things coming along.


“Market Disruptor” & “Fake News” both hold the same amount of weight for me, NEXT!!!

More so than the possible Jake Paul vs. Iron Mike match, I would have more interest in seeing a celebrity death match between Zeos & BeGGAR. I understand vendors wanting the reviewers with the biggest subscriber listings getting their wares first, but it’s difficult wading through either one of their “impressions”.
