That's because your average Joe won't be able to build and iem, tune the crossover etc where as most monkeys can tweak a PC.

As a younger monkey I did just that built my own computer, I called it “screamer”. It was fun selecting all the parts, after that it was pretty easy plug and play assembly. Then years later when my son at 13 wanted to build his own gaming machine I helped him to do it, though he chose all the parts with a $1,500.00 budget not including display.

Building an IEM I could see myself doing that someday, perhaps when I fully mature to an elder ape, I doubt it would be as easy, less parts and all the tuning choices. I would imagine a lot of trial and error. Many many hours of try and try again.

Phonix LE ordered! Can’t wait to hear it!

Those shells are beautiful!

Hey, at least Maestro SE survived!

No time for extras.

Yay!

I finally summarized my notes on FAudio Mezzo and concluded: It's stunning

I love the matching cans. Is that a limited edition of the odin?

Can't you report an ad for overpricing?

Yikes guys. That sounds like a really slippery slope. Look, I love a bargain as much as the next guy, but what's defined as "overpriced"? 100 above msrp? 1000? If a seller has a new item and factors in shipping costs and paypal fees and it comes out to above msrp, is that "overpricing" if they break even? Or if the item is a region exclusive and difficult to obtain otherwise (looking at you, Legend Evo Hong Kong Exclusive Edition)?

In the buyer/seller communities I come from, a seller lists a price and a buyer communicates with them on their willingness to budge/unwillingness to budge if they're seriously interested. As a buyer, if a seller wants a cost above what I'm willing to pay, I simply politely decline and move on without introducing drama. Same for if I'm selling. If potential buyers start reporting items because they don't like the pricing, all it tells me is that those are buyers to avoid. It's a big red flag. No offense.

I believe their policy is to prevent flipping

Has anyone tried Wavelet EQ ? If so what are your thoughts? I downloaded it and it seems to be 50/50 so far. Liked it with Legend X hated it with Evo and a coin flip with Trio.

Unfortunately, there is no evolutionary path ahead for birds after they evolved from dinosaurs, it's a dead end.

Wonder if there are any iem manufacturers naming their lines after dinosaurs?

Actually it reminds me years ago while I was interested in DSLR cameras/lens, there are some guys selling their used lens above new MSRP as "world's sharpest xxx copy". This is because most lens are produced with some deviation, majority of those deviations result in not so good copies while once in a while some of those accidentally deviation created presumably much sharper copy of the lens than its design/standard.

Not sure if this may happen to IEMs. On the other hand, I guess you may sell your used IEMs above MSRP if you are famous, and maybe there are peopel would like to buy yours since it come with your ear wax .

Would T-rex be the reassessed mids one?

I can’t tell a difference between it and the stock XE6 cable, so no need for me to keep.
