EQ on Hiby??. Have not installed wavelet as I trying to keep apps to a minimum as to check battery life
I think a few of us have posted impressions about the Alter Ego. It's somewhere in the thread, the bottomline is it's a very good Mid-Fi IEM. Personally i'd take it over Traillii or Traillii Ti.
You heard it here first folks: $2,500 is now mid-fi. RIP wallets everywhere!

The table is somewhat over emphasised I can say. According to WHO, the SPL in auditory regular human conversation is 60dB and 70 dB is borderline loud which depicts Washing Machine, Classroom Chatter or city traffic. Harmful threshold starting at 80dB. I maintain this SPL along with ear training and some physical exercise to lower the reduction of hearing loss. Anyway over the age we all gonna lose something. Sorry for the late reply.
I would agree but it's just at the range where it starts to hurt your eardrum. But I know almost all audiophiles in my knowledge who listen to higher than this SPL.

In couple more years $2,500 will become budget-fi. RIP passive/pension income. LolYou heard it here first folks: $2,500 is now mid-fi. RIP wallets everywhere!

Technically, $8,500/2 = $4,250 is right in the middleYou heard it here first folks: $2,500 is now mid-fi. RIP wallets everywhere!
. So $2,500 is budget.
It's just a quartile. Budget fi, mid fi, hi fi and summit fi. Take the highest priced IEM, divide it by 4 and create 4 levels of price between $0 and $hi water mark.
Thankfully in audio price/performance isn't linear, and diminishing returns hit hard at or around the $1500-$2000 mark. Anything above that is high-end in my book.

If that's true I'll happily stay budget-fi forever!Technically, $8,500/2 = $4,250 is right in the middle
Just don't tell the guys on the Discovery threadIf that's true I'll happily stay budget-fi forever!
True, the labels are arbitrarily linear. SQ is logarithmic where the greatest value of price to quality is at the knee of the curve probably around $2500.

So im interested in getting the most out of the Jewel (and ofc my other IEM’s). Plus I still need an amp that can power headphones, but especially the Meze Elite. IEM’s are more important but to give my ears some rest, I like the alternative.
Im still eyeballing the enleum hpa 23rm, but its basically the only 1 I can audition locally. And only single ended -_- which for my cables is not ideal.
How has an amp changed/improved your experience? And which would you feel is one of the best right now (and what combo)?
I might have to blind buy stuff just to test it, but rather not.
