64 Audio would like to have a word about QC
True, all manufacturers can have QC problems. I take it you had an issue with 64 Audio? ThieAudio has been having major problems with the L3, and thus consumer confidence has taken a big hit, but so far, I haven‘t read of any QC issues with the higher end IEMs, like the Clairvoyance :fingers_crossed:.

QC issues seem to be something 64 is notorious for based on what I've heard. We've had 5 open box u12ts from Headphones.com, 3 of them had some sort of issue. Obviously you can excuse that and say they were returned for a reason, but it seems a bit ridiculous.

any MEST impressions?

I shared some of my thoughts on the MEST on the Audio Discourse podcast MEST Roundtable, but to sum it up I felt that it was a good IEM but was recessed in its upper midrange frequencies, leading to a hazier presentation that I was not a fan of. However it does offer very good, "bouncy" and fun kind of bass.

On a technical level they are very competent as well.

I prefer the Clairvoyance. I'm actually thinking of adding the Clairvoyance to my list of favourites. While it's pretty boring for me to listen to, I can't deny that its tonality is very well tuned.

Re: M9, I recently ommited it from my favourites since I found it too warm and lacking clarity in its intonation.

so the clarity of clairvoyance is above M9? how about soundstage and pin point imaging since M9 have one of the best precise imaging and layering? Thanks again

On the topic of clarity, a question out of pure curiosity:

From my experience you can achieve clarity through a number of different things, such as forward upper mids, forward treble, thinner notes, less bass etc etc

How do you prefer for said clarity to be accomplished? Apologies if this has been answered in the thread already

I can't AB them next to each other, but I think M9 has the upper hand in layering, although Clair does have better transients.
