And I bet you have tested most of the current $20-999 offerings, right?
I don't even know why I'm asking this, you surely must have tried at least 70% of these sets and only then decided that this exact number of $1000 as the absolute highpass filter of goodness.
For me, the best part about the pairing with CMA Twelve Master is how tight and slammy the bass becomes. The Supermoon already has good bass slam but CMA Twelve Master takes it up a notch.
On the Bonneville, I have to use low-gain and greatly reduce the volume pot (because of how sensitive it is) but the changes are very interesting. There is some mid-bass bleed in the Bonneville that CMA Twelve Master mostly takes care of. Layering of instruments is exaggerated even further, while the stage depth gets a slight increase over LPGT. However, the treble also gets a bit more sizzly, so for the Bonneville I am a bit on the fence with this particular pairing (tip rolling might help in this regard).
I bet quite a few might find the sentence that all sets below $1k are crap a bigger bummer than my sulking. That's like saying cars get good at $100k and everything below that just causes traffic jams.
But let's not dwell on this for too long, I agree it's completely unproductive and I'm certainly representing a minority here.

He did not say that but ok you’re putting words in his mouth it seems that you read things and translate it in your own negative context but yeah instead of being “Tongue in cheek” why don’t you say what your favorite Iem is in your own opinion and explain

Why do you have to make up stuff to prove whatever your point is? No one said stuff under 1k is crap.
Maybe you need to read the post again since you're clearly confused.
But you're right let's not dwell on you making up lies since it's so very unproductive

That sounds like the Supermoon would be fun. I haven't ran into many Head-Fiers that like IEMs and use them with the CMA Twelve Master. If you get a chance try the U12t with the CMA Twelve Master on low gain and toggle the bias switch.
A bad example, cars below 100K cause traffic jams because there are more of them. I don't understand why replacing cables or expensive iems arouse so many emotions. If you believe and hear the difference in cables - you buy, you don't believe and don't hear - you don't buy. The same applies to iems. This topic comes up on every audio forum and brings nothing.
Such a wonderfully contrasted view to the one at 'The Watercooler thread' where people are restlessly pushing their agenda of making everyone feel bad about their sub-kilobuck sets.
Guys, I'm glad this topic caught some attention, but please do not let this be anything but a minor speed bump in your way. Let's get back to scheduled programming.
