Yeah but I want to try also Focus EDM that should have less sharper mids/highs and higher basshead levelCome on you know you want to try it and it's discounted too...
Hey David,Come on you know you want to try it and it's discounted too...
7Hz isn’t afraid of pinna gain that’s for sure.Yeah but I want to try also Focus EDM that should have less sharper mids/highs and higher basshead level
I don’t have a basshead iem…
No no, that's not what I'm referring to here (tnx for the response though!). I'm basically saying that totally independent from the source or whatever there is an optimum volume for each and every album that makes everything exactly fall into place. Lowering the volume ever so slightly leaves out the kick, while increasing volume by just a notch I can't stand it (slightly exaggerated but not by much).
Sounds like what we are seeing in the FR response is unit variation then. No reason for them to tell us a lie if they changed the tuning. The U12t is legendary.
I've got them when Lotoo sent over their PAW 1 recorder for feedback and review. I'll be covering them with the recorder soon.
Design would strongly imply the drivers used, the crossover components, tube lengths, etc. So, essentially, they're claiming that a retune hasn't occurred. It's likely that small shifts like the ones shown here could've been down to unit variance. There could also be a case where a driver model they've used has perhaps been discontinued, so they've swapped it out for another that's from the same family, but slightly different. Though, given how recent the U12t still is, that's rather unlikely. If you're that curious, you could always send one of the new and old units each to a resheller (like, say, itsfit or @fionalab666 on Instagram), ask them to open them up to compare, then have them put them back together. It'll certainly cost you, but that's the price of knowledge.
That was exactly my expectation a few days ago when seeing the different measurements among units, while there was a bigger difference between L+R channels of some specific unit(s). However, there was only one way to debunk the rumours. I guess now we know.
Damn Rock!! You were hella busy today!! This is impressive and so helpful!! I am so thankful for all the time you put into indexing the thread!! Props to you!I finally got around to the much needed update to the Thread Index...lots of great impressions & content by many of you. It was a lot to go through and I may have missed some stuff.
Miss this day!
It's not gear that makes you high end in this thread!
I have a lot of respect for Resolve as a reviewer but I disagree with a lot of this-- he's ranking the words based on people's capacity to misunderstand them, and not according to the actual meanings or usefulness of the words themselves...which seems misguided to me. Just because people who don't know what resolution means misuse the term doesn't make it any less useful as a descriptor to someone who does. It's almost as though he wants to limit our capacity to describe sound to what can be read off a measurement rig or an FR graph. As with all things, YMMV.
This audiophile dictionary was much more helpful to me and finding it was one of my defining 2021 audio moments.
In other news I made some lego today.
I watched the last few episodes of season 2 of Mandalorian while I put it together and was reminded what masterful piece of storytelling that was. The final act of the final episode still stands as the best thing I've ever seen on a screen since I saw Darth Vader redeemed in the final act of Return of the Jedi in 1983.
Looked in to it today! But I think I prefer to be guided by SQ alone at this point as from a practical point of view there's many pros and cons. Among them is that an SR25ii is 10 times bigger and heavier, 3 times more expensive, etc. So I would want to start at the basics first and then see what practical issues it would solve at the same time. Hope that makes sense for much more experienced users than I am.
I only have experience with a few DAPs. iBasso, DX160, DX300 and Hiby R6 2020. I just bought the RS6. I think these DACs are better than the DX160 and R6. I think DX300 and RU6 are pretty equivalent in sound quality. These are midfi DAPs. So, I think you need to go $1200 to get comparable sound quality. But, you don't need to buy a smartphone.
