Things are a bit quiet on the Penon front. But that could mean the calm before the storm.

It’s Holy Week…

Happy Easter everyone…

Hey ,
i got the Penoin 10th Anny and Adore Them Except for One thing they are Sometimes a Littlebit Sibilant and i am very Sensible to that ... Someone got a a tip for Tip (lol) that sound like the Stock tips but reduces Sibilance ?
Thanks in Advance.

I’ve negotiated the same sensitivity. For IEMs that are overly bright, I use a solution that implements a broader stroke, like using a different cable and or foam tips.

If I only need to address a very specific frequency range, I use a more surgical solution, PEQ.

10th sibilant? No way, check your source and tips , no sibilance with 1zm2, sp3000 or ibasso dc elite, great organic sound

I would have to agree with @denis1976 to check and change your sources. From the quality of the stream and records to DAC/AMP and cables.

It might be a crime but the 5K with the fake NOS filter is significantly less harsh than the standard filter

AKM dacs can have a shine to its treble too. Just it'll be step less than the ESS. You just need to find a company that knows how to implement the ESS or AKM to reduce this feeling.

R2r works.......though they sound so boring unfortunately. Wont slam as hard, and will not as be incisive sounding for the imaging dynamics. But you definitely won't have that shiny treble sensitivity.

I have been under the spell of CFA Trifecta for the past week...wow, I understand the conflicting opinions completely as it sounds unlike any other iem I've heard while still delivering everything I'm looking for. But in my opinion, it's a Masterwork deserving of the accolades it does get.

But that's really not the point. After listening for the last 4 hours today, I set it down and picked up Quattro to see how I would feel. Even using Quattro with a lesser dap than I was using with Trifecta.

All I can say is, if Trifecta is a masterpiece, Quattro is a brother from another mother, from a third world country obviously considering it's around 1/10 the price!

Quattro off the Ibasso PB5 Osprey portable amp is a treat, I have it fed via my Gustard A22 dac which is my slammiest & incisive dac on hand.

PB5 innate bass boost, plus my slammy dac....... And whoah, the Quattro actually has bass after all.
