Got a spare set from Andrew already which I appreciate very much but he told me that they were hard to come by. Now, that was a while back so maybe things have changed but at the time they were hard to come by.

I just found the SpinFit cp145 fits me now. It's a great tip that also floats in the ear canal. Loss of detail retrieval for a gain in subbass/midbass region. Slightly bloomy though but a fun tip to play with none the less.

Does a tip need to float in the ear canal. Because If it floats I go one size bigger where it is more stuck, it plops when it goes out.

Some I find float and some others go deeper and create the seal. I guess that comes down to your anatomy and the tip in question. But yes I like it when the tip floats and "plops" when it goes out. Usually means you had a good seal

That;s probably why he could only send me one spare set. He sent most of them to you beforehandNot sure if you can tell but I got a few extra sets from him earlier in the year all in medium

There's also a full discussion thread for MEXT which is full of positive commentary and Q&A. Just posted my observations over there. In a nutshell - I LOVE this IEM, it's got everything in perfect balance. MEXT has a rich, warm sound without any hint of darkness. It's got great sub and mid bass with no bleed into beautiful lush mids, where vocals and strings are perfectly placed and plenty of sparkle & air up top without any harshness that can come from eStats. It's got a wonderful holographic property and texture and timbre of the drums rivals my all time favorite for that - the IMR EDP planar.

Here is a little trick for you DIYers willing to experiment. I took a Final Audio Type E tip and trimmed the nozzle barrel back by about 3/8's of an inch. This allows the tip to go much closer to the nozzle. Look at the pictures.
The reason I did this is because the Final Audio Type E tips are by far the most comfortable tips imo but too bassy and not enough resolution due to the extra long barrels. So I shortened the Barrell and it now has more detail, texture, zero bloom, and I just love it. Highly recommended if your willing.

Going have to try that out. My problems with fit where always the height of tips never thought of trimming them down.

Concerning the stock tips I ask Andrew and he sent would me a pair. I wanted to get another set so contacted Unique Melody by email asking if they knew who made them.
Unique Melody said there made for them but not available for retails sales. Then said I should contact Andrew. Since didn’t want to ask for another set I just dropped trying. They musta contacted Andrew because he sent me two more pairs. Wish they just offered the for sale but it is what it is for now.

To all owners of a C9, the Hiby RS6, the PWA FT or the EA Code 51?:
Which settings of the C9 do you find best for the Indigo (or another UM MEST) with a 4.4 cable?
C9: SS A / Tube A / SS AB / Tube AB - High Gain / Normal Gain?
RS6: with or without C9 / Preset: UM MEST MK2 / UM MEXT / VE Erlkönig?
Cable: Stock / FT / Code 51?

On the RS6 with MEST Indigo, I'm using:
Darwin 1 or 9
NOS: disabled
Atmosphere enhanced: disabled
Harmonic Controller: 0
I really like my HiBy RS6 but it is a flavored DAP. Sound wise, it is a bit too forward in the mids which, in my opinion, doesn't make it an ideal DAP pairing for MEST Indigo
MEST Indigo already have enough energy in the mids (lower and upper), which is why I am considering switching back to something that has been tuned "neutral but fun" and pocketable like Lotoo PAW 6000
The HiBy RS6 is probably the most fun and feature rich DAP that I have heard/owned in the price range but my preference is currently leaning towards more a neutral source pairing for MEST Indigo
