My post covid “concerts” were the Wiggles and Disney on Ice…
I remember taking my kids to see the last original Wiggles concert back in 2012 (before a few of them retired and were replaced) up north in Meadowlands Arena here in NJ

My son was obsessed with the Wiggles but it was one of the few shows that didnt annoy me since most of it was singing.I remember taking my kids to see the last original Wiggles concert back in 2012 (before a few of them retired and were replaced) up north in Meadowlands Arena here in NJ
I'd argue there's more to attain in totl iems than golf clubs

I bet the golfers would say the same about golf clubs.I'd argue there's more to attain in totl iems than golf clubs
As an avid golfer and audiophile I couldn’t agree more.I'd argue there's more to attain in totl iems than golf clubs

Wait until you try a deep insertion past the second bend with them clubs...I'd argue there's more to attain in totl iems than golf clubs

Hmm. I love my music and I love my golf, and I’ve been doing both seriously since the mid-70’s. Audio equipment may well be more expensive and intricate than golf equipment (although you might be surprised at the level of technology in modern golf equipment), but I assure you, nobody is paying $10k+ annually to belong to an audio club.

Just my $.02.

Yes, many of us. I liked it, but I never felt it was top tier. A bit bloated bass, but I do like it as long as you do not compare it to a more accurate and tighter bass. The mids are good and a bit warm and the treble is soft which works well for overly bright recordings. It makes a very nice compliment to many other IEMs.
It depends what music you listen to. I have the Thummim and I love it with metal. The low end gives guitar riffs nice weight, while the rest of the FR remains open. It is very holographic too, and I love the design. So beautiful with the Iliad cable.

I just visited Uncle Wilson at Jaben SG and had a chance to demo a couple of stuff.
First up is the DC Ti. I was really curious about this one since it receives rave reviews. I must say, the timbre, resolution and tonality is very similar to my Xe6. Bass is also big, but Xe6 feels more visceral due to its kinetic bass. Other frequencies feel quite similar. For something that's even more expensive than Xe6, I couldn't justify spending that kind of money.
Next up is Softears Turii Titanium. And wow!!! This is a huge surprise for me. Dare I say it's the perfect sound that I've been looking for in IEMs (outside of my LCDi4). It's perfectly balanced, timbre is spot on, no sibilance, resolution is top notch. But the price is a bit of a letdown for a single DD. I'm seriously considering getting one though, and willing to trade off my Xe6 and IE600 (not impressed with this one, a bit bright and sibilant).
Next is the non-Ti version of Turii. Tonality is similar but a lot more emphasis on the bass, not as balanced as the Ti.
Fourth one is Noble Viking(?). While it does have great resolution, it sounds similar to IE900, and there's also a hint of sibilance.
Turii Ti has the closest sound to my Raal CA1a headphone (my current reference for what an ideal sound should be for my taste).

Hah! Separate accounts for “play money” is the way for marital bliss if you get into HeadFi.
