Does anyone know if 64 Audio offers discounts on IEMs purchased at shows like Canjam? If so what is the typical amount?

I am leaning towards picking up a U18T but would like a deal :ksc75smile:.

I really want to like tia drivers but my ears are just too sensitive to them.

I tried almost all of them and everyone one of them are overly hissing and sibilant.

The 8k and above are too distractive for me.

The most recent one i tried was the u12t and i really hope that it won't be sibilant but sadly it is still too sibilant for me.

I can only withstand n8 but it still has some above 10k spikes but still bearable.

I'm exactly the same. I've now heard the full high end line up they have with "t's" and they all have unnatural highs to me, especially the Fourte. The N8t caught my attention though. Very likeable sound without any immediate unforgivable issues... except that it easily and very obviously runs into distortion issues in the low end at higher listening levels.

I don’t experienced any hiss on the 64 Audio line up that i have heard...
Maybe some hot treble in some players...and sibilance in some audio tracks and some cables...
The 64 audio products with LID technology should not have hiss at all.

I’ve read here and some reviews that certain models, like the U10, sound best with an impedance adaptor (or something along those lines) to increase resistance - meant to clean up bass and increase treble presence. Is this something that is commercially available?

For the U18T/A18T owners out there, what do you think are the top cables to pair with that IEM?

I read Twister6 was a fan of the Leo II with the U18T. What other cables come to mind?

Awesome thank you!
I got my A18t at canjam for 15% off.

The highs on the A18t are the best I have heard . It has an openness and sparking quality I can’t find in any non TIA tec ciems . It’s the one thing that 64 does better than the competition in my opinion which is why I went with their totl.

I perfectly happy with my pure silver Ted Allen cable . Less than $200 .

I like pw audio 1960 2 wire very much with my A18.

Next one I like is the effect Audio Leonidas (1st generation).

I use k-mod wm1z as my source. M15 as the main apex module.

The more I hear this combo, the more I like it.


Tried the 4 wire version and it's even better with the U18, very expensive though

Crystal Cable Dream Duet, PlusSound X8 Tri-Copper. Love both with m15 equipped A18t.
