I cannot image if this was happening during a flight and the IEM body fallen out to the floor. It will be a PITA to find it under seats.
This literally happened to @RTodd

Oh, I vaguely remember that. During one of my trip to Europe, I was trying to switch a sim card that I bought from amazon to use in EU and I was too clumsy to do that during the flight, the sim card fell and was never found.

You are right, the right side is especially loose and was disconnected upon arrival during the USPS handling. I was taking this baby out for about two hours and the right-side was silent after 30 minutes. The 2 pin connection was again disconnect, and this was happening when I was covering the entire IEM under a headband.

I cannot image if this was happening during a flight and the IEM body fallen out to the floor. It will be a PITA to find it under seats.

However, the Mentor is the most musical IEM I have ever heard. I guess the BCD must be crucial to turn the 10 BA into something else, and the density, the thickness, especially in the Mids, reminds me full size headphone, my ZMF Atrium. I know if Jim heard this, he would call my comparison as "dumb", but I can't help to make that comparison.

Here are some pictures of the touring kit:

If it had been mine, I would have tried to bend the pins ever so slightly as I've had to do with my Indigos (coincidence, UM?) but as a tour unit, I just listened in home and constantly kept attention on that right side (also, coincidentally, the right on my Indigo).

But yeah, that sound. The Indigo is like a baby bro of the MM, similar in tuning and engagement my, but smaller in actual size and sound. I've been listening to them a lot louder since I sent you the MM!

Hello everyone I have a new tour kit containing the Tansio RGB and Penon Serial. I will be getting it out into the Canadian wild sometime next week-- I will start this tour out east, with @dleblanc343.

In other news I also have an Effect Audio Code 23 cable for tour. Can I get a sound off for anyone who is interested in trying this out? We don't usually deal in cables so I don't want to assume everyone is interested. Cable is "Con X" so can be used with 2-pin or MMCX connectors...or pentaconn if you have the ends.

Very much looking forward to this! Always fun discovering lesser known brands.

Would be curious about Code23. Whenever it may be.

Thanks Jeff,

Interested in code 23 and frankly would jump at the chance to try RGB. Any possibility of it making it's way down to the states?

Amazon.co.jp fulfilled order for “Canalworks narrow bore gel filled, soft like cat paw” 🐱🐈‍⬛ ear tip today!
Can’t wait to fit it with U12t then compare with Eartunes Fidelity U tip. It may be better.. or worse😋

It only took 6 days for Amacon.co.jp to ship this to US. Though, international shipping fee was Takai!(High)

I bought the same from amazon.jp but unfortunately they do not work any magic, not any better than my existing tips for Z1R.

Sorry about that!
I do not have IEM Z1R, but Sony’s eartip matching is real good. I always come back to soft foam tip for WF-1000XM4.

just received fatfreq maestro kit from @tgx78 . I can't figure out how the modular cable tip works, btw. I just spins without doing anything. It doesn't affect listening experience. (4.4mm)

It's a little beguiling.

In the circled region above if you look closely there is a seam. This is where you unscrew the connector to replace it.

Yes, you should start touring cables too. I will be interested in the Code 23 tour.

I'll put you on it. Perhaps we could talk @Eric Chong to send us some cables for tour :D
