I thought about getting that cable but decided it was too expensive. Since the plugs are resin and most likely made for the IEM I would have asked them if they could have left out the red color from the resin mix. It doesn't look as good to me. In the end I bought two cables at the same price as I would have paid for the 330, then ordered an SLT6 and forgot normal cables don't work with that. So I am going to have one cable left over XD. My cables should arrive today, so I am curious how they turned out.New cable day.
I got a ivipQ-330 model IEM cable in the mail today and been putting it to good use with my TSMR-X as I was hoping they would look okay together (nervous smile).

How does it sound? Not ready to jump into that just yet but it sounds an awful lot like the last cable I had on it which was a cheaper XINHS K08 with 2 strands of gold, silver and palladium graphene five element alloy cable wire. I sure do love these cables.
Great anal ogy !!....i still have the NF Audio NM2+....they sounded very anal ogue haha !! Tatt who knew ??BTW, what happened to NF Audio? They had so much potential, and seemed to come out of the gate strong, but then faded like a tattoo on a stripper's butt.
Just to clear that up.No, Bone Conduction sound transmission works of course quite well when you do it right. We make some serious money with it.. but one of our products indeed involves drilling into the skull in, of course, a surgical procedure, and another one you can actually stick behind the concha on the mastoid without any gore involved, but OPL is limited with this one already.So you're saying BC is like cables? LOL
Just read something about the upcoming IOS 18 update, adding accessibility feature of Haptic feedback on the iPhone to emulate bass(?) on the device speakers…wha?!…Just to clear that up.No, Bone Conduction sound transmission works of course quite well when you do it right.

And that brings me to my rather devastating conclusion/estimation on BC enabled IEMs. I do think if you add a vibratory unit into an IEM shell, it just cannot transmit enough vibratory energy to hear something with it. There might be a tactile sensation you can feel when the shell is vibrating, but that's not Bone Conduction sound, it's just the nerves in your skin which let you feel vibration, nothing more.
So, it's the realization of how some IEM manufacturers want to incorporate BC inside an IEM. It just won't work well.
I’ll definitely look into all of that and more. Hydro is a lot of fun. But I’m coming the realization I’m a dirty V shaped iem lover. My Explorer is only 130 miles away now!Hope @Jaytiss does a comparison between explorer and hydro. To chaff out the weakest link! Want to buy just one of em.
Btw, in what way is the P3 different from P8 ? If I have P8, does P3 make sense?
The TRN ST7 continues to surprise me and wow me. This time, listening to Cecelie Strange's Byssan Lull. I've listened to this thing with the OD200, EA1000, and Trio, and for the first time, I noticed the singer's breathing pattern. I might have heard it with those others, but it was this time it actually jumped out at me while listening. The very distinct breathes in and out, and even the vibrato in the breathe. Simply stellar detail retrieval for something sold so cheaply. It's gonna make it hard for the four incoming IEMs I have to show out in a similar fashion. We'll see....??
