The Fibae 7U are on the top of my very short list. Already playing with the design tool from Custom Art. Have a difficult time justifying this purchase, though.

When did we ever require justification?

Once you post that here not a single person is going to tell you to be sensible

Indeed, I needed some mental support from the team! I feel relieved now.

We're waiting on impressions of that set so we are very encouraging Do it, do it....

I'm not sure. Ask the man @piotrus-g himself haha. I trust Custom Art sound hence blind purchase.

Thanks @audio123 for your suggestion

My justification typically:

1. Can I afford it? If yes, go to two
2. Do I want it? If yes, go to three
3. Purchased

Obviously that all caves in if the answer to 1 is no, then I have to start scheming and plotting...

Did you buy also?

Did you buy also?

No, unfortunately right now, the answer to 1 = no!

hahahaha yes yes $2000 IEM, "Great Value" "TOTL" "Recommended Buy" "#Endgame" "Must Have" "Great Build Quality" "Well Tuned"

Meanwhile on the other side, $2000 Handbag, "Waste of money" "Trash Material" "Ugly" "Depreciation" "#plasticbagworkstoo"
jkjk

It's the watercooler logic. Never gets old! and only worse for our wallet!

I have all 3 Eletech interconnects - Socrates, Plato and Illiad - and pair them with corresponding IEM cable, eg Socrates IC > Socrates IEM; Socrates or Plato IC > P8 Plato x Socrates; Illiad IC > with any.

Plato is closest to neutral followed by Illiad, Socrates slightly warm and now I hear, all are musical but neither 3 are bright.

TBH most of the time I can’t discern much difference between the 3 Eletech ICs compared to their respective IEM cables except Socrates.

Awesome choices. Those Eletech cables are great whether in interconnect or IEM form.

You mind sharing the design or at least the color you have chosen?

Is the Senn IE900 the best sounding single DD IEM? Opinions?

Single-DD's are too broad a category to say one is THE BEST. (and also our preferences, yada yada) The technical limitations of the driver force designers to tune it one way or another. There are a ton of tuning variances. Many reasons to have more than one single DD

The ie900 may be the best V-shaped single-DD out there, but it won't touch the best midrange focused flagship single-DD's. That's their strong-suit.
The Zen Pro is a top performer in it's price category, but it doesn't compete with Turii at $1300 or Eden at $2100. It just isn't as technical, refined, or nuanced. Zen Pro is not TOTL for me, but its a good monitor and a great deal for a taste of what a totl single-dd can be like.

It sounds like that JVC FW10k may be closer to what I expect a TOTL single-DD to sound like. Maybe @Rockwell75 can comment on what he hears as the defining differences between ZP and it?

The same pattern with blue and dark green looks great too. Decisions…

4. Purchased
