Yes... That iPhone... I hate it

Just Kidding

 

[steviebee]

Me too.
Not kidding.

Not so much for what it is, but what it represents - another brick in the gizmo-filled wall of planetary corporate me-tooism.

LOL - I need to go to bed! Too much caffeine....

Thank you, I only have my crappy camera phone so that's the best I can do.

I'm going to reply to their email and explain it like you suggested. Thank you very much.

Hi!

I'm wondering wether I should buy the triple fi or the super fi 5 pro.

But i'm not shure if the price-difference is worth it, is it?

I'm upgrading from EP 650, using the Cowon D2 as source.

Thanks in advance!

 

[steviebee]

Not heard the SF5P, but everything I've read suggests it is absolutely worth it. Whatever 5P does well, TF10 would seem to overtake it by some margin.

But, I have not heard Super Fi 5P so don't take this as gospel. Someone with experience of both should be along soon...

Triple.fi 10 Pro. I bought the Super.fi 5 Pro back in february, and absolutely loved them. In fact, so much that I decided to go for Triples a few months afterwards. I was really interested in hearing how much better it could get. And boy did I do the right thing, they are awesome and worth every penny. Very detailed and clean sound, didn't think IEM's good be so good. Maybe I will go for the UE 11 in a couple of years, lol.

I use the triples on my iAudio 7, the D2 would be a great match.

 

[Bertelsen]

Thanks for the answer!

Now, the only thing i'm worried about now is if the buds break, I live in Norway like you, and I don't know if its that easy getting the cables (etc) replaced if they break, any known issues with that?

Just remembered I got another question, are the cables easy replacable? The stock cables look a little brittle.

Now i am looking at a new DAP for my tripple fi's. WHat goes best? Only need around 15-30gigs of storage. I want to move away from my ipod 5.5g 30 gig.

was looking at the cowon d2 16gig...

but then again, i dont want to sell my ipod because iwill get peanuts for it. i might as well keep it.

I should be looking at a different amp or OPAMPS for my viper. soo hard

 

[steviebee]

D2's a good choice. Very nice detailed little DAP...

Bertelson -the cable is fine, not brittle at all (tho how any cable is in ultra-cold I can't say). If it does by any chance break/fray etc UE will replace FOC.

It's a piece of cake to replace Triple Fi cables. Just go about it carefully -don't yank em out: a small tease w/ a fingernail to get them started, if needed. Easy...

Are the TF10 a big step up from SF5pros.

The itch to upgrade is strong, especially since they're quiet affordable on earphone solutions (In fact, the US is even cheaper than Hong Kong).

 

[steviebee]

I've read that they are, but I've never heard SF5P...

Edit\ see Nosgis's post above ^^^

I think they're a really worthy upgrade. I bought the SF5 Pro about eighteen months ago as my very first upgrade from stock buds, and they were amazing coming from the crap which was supplied with my dap. But who sticks with their first upgrade? Not me! Much as I loved the huge soundstage, I got irritated by the warm thick midrange, and eventually couldn't listen to them at all.

I bought the TF10's three months ago, and couldn't be happier. The midrange is not recessed at all to my ears, and this is using them unamped from a Zune 80 and Sony NWZ-A829 with wma vbr 'best quality' settings averaging between 300/450kbps. The midrange is much more open and more forward than the SF5 Pro. The only real similarity between them is the size of the soundstage, it's BIG.

I put off buying these for 2 reasons: 1) Too expensive, and 2) I thought they'd sound too similar to the SF5 Pro - but Amazon UK had a sale, so I decided to buy them. Well, it's a decision I've been really happy with for every minute of every day for the past 3 months. I just love how they sound.

They're related to the SF5 Pro only in soundstage and fit. Everything else is improved. I wouldn't say they had more bass than the SF5 Pro (I seem to remember those being quite boomy), but it's definitely better presented. I did a TON of research to find out the differences between these and the SF5 Pro, and the majority of owners felt it was a worthwhile upgrade. And I do too. They're like a hugely-improved SF5 Pro

I know opinion is subjective, and someone else might say there's hardly any difference at all, but this is how I hear them from the sources I mentioned.

It was quite literally '[size=small]spliffing[/size]' if you get my drift
