Well, the TRN 6 core upgrade cable, as well as all of the bi-color 8 core cables, are all junk IMO.
But the TRN 16 core cables are made by a different factory, and are waaaaay better than the 6 and 8 core cables. A steal at $7.
The stock TRN silver plated 4 core cable is good too, and I’ve bought them for $4-$5 before. It’s equivalent to the KZ ZSN copper cable in build quality, conductor thickness, and resistance.
It's surprisingly good with instrumentals, I tried a couple from Jethro Tull and Simon and Garfunkel. This was unexpected.
But I figure this is a bass-oriented IEM, and it handles tracks like Daft Punk's "Da Funk" okay.
Where it really excels IMO is Tool. It's handling that band better than most of my other IEMs, bringing out the subtleties. It has tough competition from the ZS-10 Pro, though.
I'm interested in what other people are listening to with their V90s.
I love mine for anything non vocal, not that there’s anything wrong with the way it handles singers, I just like a more neutral presentation for voices (which I will hopefully get from the BA5 when it turns up).
The V90 was made for EDM though. Total drum and bass machine!
Example: my main test track, if an iem can’t handle the sub bass and treble on this then it’s no good to me
My 2 cents since we are going slight offtopic here...
The problem with these modern Xstyle-core bands (especially those from US) is that they are too processed like those retouched porn actresses that don't recognized themselves in mirror - drums are completely replaced with samples (why play then acoustic drums?), drums rythms are quantized to death (why then using real drummer behind the kit instead of a drummachine), guitars are too polished almost lifeless, gated to hell without a hint of background noise, vocals apear "bigger and more brutal" than in live (practice of cupping mics doesn't add brutality to vocals, just adds feedback and ****s up freq responce of vocal mic) because usually these bands are consist of teenagers without any substantial experience, they look like jobless students living with parents... Not mo mention that quite some US-based "core" bands preach christianity in their texts which is a total "Un-Metal". Everything is out of sync with main idea what METAL is about as a genre and sub-culture.
For those curious here are the TRN BA5 internals!
Faceplate has only one screw that is used only for cosmetic reasons not for attaching to main body which has 4 points with screw threads inside. Instead faceplate is just glued with 4 protruding pins entering screw holes.
After brief inspection under microscope was found only ONE hole that connects nozzle with internal cavity under vented faceplate - it's a vented MID BA (black hole can be seen between two terminals of the corresponding armature driver). Thats why bass response doesnt change if we seal the faceplate vented grill. Putting some cotton inside probably could tame those mid-high peaks i am hearing.
Other idea could be disconnecting one or two high-BAs trying to tailor high freq response this way rather stuffing nozzle with sponge.
Hi, I know this is oot but I just want to ask you on how much songs that you save in a 256gb sd card on your sony A45? Because currently I just bought a 64gb one but thinking it may not be enough. So now I wanted to upgrade it to either 128gb or straight up to 256gb.
The bit here is my songs are mixed coded, ranged from the itunes plus aac up to 96/24bit flacs but it will mostly filled with 44.1/16 bit flac & aac.

About 24000 songs. Range from 128kb mp3 to flac. Mostly 320kb mp3.
Now with 400gb cards and dual slots on my cayin n5 and Fiio m11 I can do all flax and have about 25 or so hi res albums.
