I’m using Dan Clark headphones with my Mojo which I find a great pairing, what IEMs would you recommend with the Mojo, what IEMs do you use,
Kind regards

Great to see a British HiFi still very much alive.
I have used and are using my old and trusted Noble K10U with both Mojo (OG) and CH2 with great synergy, there are much better iems out there today but these are quite neutral and not tireing after hours of use and can be bought for a bargain today…worth a listen
I had a number of IEMs some 6 years ago - but I just couldn't get on with them. After an hour my jaw would ache. That said, the Noble Kaiser did sound very good.
Yes they were custom with traditional moulds. The Audiologist later suggested to try without the bite down, but I haven't tried that. And since 2015 planer headphones have improved dramatically - the worries I used to have with LF distortion and depth perception don't apply any more, that's how much planer headphones have improved.Did you happen to get traditional custom moulds? There's a way to get digital laser impression moulds, not traditional invasive way where human errors can occur. I'm wondering if traditional moulds may cause aches, especially with the bite-down variance factor.
Sorry, I seem to have a habit of rambling on due to enjoying my Chord rig too much so shorten the post...

WFH Chord CIEM Stack | dCS Lina Stack (Can even apply to AIO like DAPs, etc. minus the power section) | |
Clocks | Near Perfect Measurements [X] | OK, Typical Average Clocks, nothing special. Yawn. |
DAC | Chord [X] | More AIO than pure focus on DAC. |
Power | Off-Grid Dynamic, Low Impedance (mOhms) [X] | Mains, no ability to scale off-grid like Chord. |
Operating System | Open-Source, 4ever update-able, realtime low-latency kernel, dedicated CPU cores exclusive to audio, ability to load entirely in RAM. [X] | Proprietary BS like all commercial Status Symbol solutions. Update maybe a few times and that's it, you are stuck with that for it's lifetime. Usually, no ability to load entire OS in RAM. |
Playback Software | Open-Source, 4ever update-able, if the software you want is available, you should be able to implement. Scale software over time, even if a software is release five years from now. Real Summit-Fi Software. I also playback from dedicated RAM.[X] | Proprietary BS like all commercial Status Symbol solutions. Stuck with software that will stop updating at some point. Stuck for it's lifetime with zero updates. Usually not considered Summit-Fi Software. It's okay, average. Usually, no RAM playback ability. |
Amplifier | Non-traditional. As close to listening straight out of the DAC as possible. Highest Resolution and Transparency with zero distortion and colouring. [X] | Traditional. I would never use Traditional Amplification. |
CIEM Output | RCA. With RCA, you have the ability to scale to WBT. World of difference with speaker-like attributes. [X] | Traditional and Amplified. No way I'm ever going back to amplified for CIEM-use. |
Not really - I have built up an extensive tool kit to cover different aspects of sound quality, and any change using AB listening tests I will run through a number of tracks that I use to test certain parameters. Oddly enough I was doing a video last Thursday - and I recalled a recent video when I was asked what tracks I used for listening tests and my mind went completely blank. So to prevent that I complied a simplified list of my tracks, and here are my notes:Hello @Rob Watts
Now that youre longer and deeper into Mscaled listening..
Are you developing different listening test styles/abillities ..eg focussing on other aspects of the sound?
Its just fun to be pointed to things to listen for which i didnt noticed
Hilegard Von Bingen was born in 1098. I guess it is just a well preserved recording!Hildegard Von Bingen - what a voice! Even in the ‘Bardcore’, more fun type of songs that she’s recorded that voice is clear with good range and great diction and enunciation.
Glad to hear it is not an East Midlands pronunciation of Birmingham.Hilegard Von Bingen was born in 1098. I guess it is just a well preserved recording!
We always mishear her name on Radio 3 because we live near a place called Bingham and so we hear her name as Hildegard of Bingham!
