Ah yes i ForgotNo longer with a "t"
FixedAh yes i Forgo
Selling my u18tzar I think.... only to move back to fullsize cans. They're the best I've heard in IEM form by far (i've spent way too much on IEMs.... ha).
There are three categories of transducer I want stocked and on-hand at all times.
Category I: Full-size, high impedance headphone meant for a desktop amp. (These sound the best. LCD-2 is my primary, used only for music. HD6XX is secondary, used for everything else.)
Category II: Full-size, low impedance headphone meant for work/mobile use. (These will never sound quite as good. Being sourced by mobile gear doesn’t help matters. Momentum 2.0 belongs here, making this the weakest of the three classes.)
Category III: In-Ear Monitors meant for work/mobile use. (These sound nearly as good from a quality DAP as they do from a desktop system. They are VERY efficient. U12 and Solar sit at the head of this table.)
Well doneFixed
Since I only use my iems at work cant have full cans it will look awkward. I'm sticking to my u18t even though the thought if getting the lx crossed my mind I'm passed it now very happy with my u18t and the dx200I think that is a good idea, but once you go TOTL I can't seem to enjoy other things as much. I can't afford u18t plus a Utopia, so one has to be enjoyed for now. It sucks, for sure. I am hoping the Utopia (or maybe LCD 4z) plus a DX200 would be great for most things besides out of the house stuff.
Ideally, I'd have full sized that work well with portable players and then a nice beefy amp as well for them. In demoing the Focal Clear, I could barely tell a difference from a $5k McIntosh headphone amp and my DX200 on them. Truly it would be good enough for me. I also do think the u18t are as good sounding as full sized, it's just a different presentation. I mostly just am a little over sticking things in my ears 24/7
