I guess there's a bit too much hype around Chi-fi IEMs and not all reviews are indepth and critical enough. Yep, I checked all the tips included. I will try some other tips, Spinfit, maybe the Moondrop ones. Peculiar thing is my right ear canal is a bit narrower and at sightly different angle...

What about ARTTI, R1. EA200, seem like very well received product, but most likely on the bright side knowing Simgot, maybe something similar to K701 series but with better low end extension. Myself I'm looking for with HD 6** series tonality that will fit my smaller ears. EW200 against often...

Nice name after one of most known scientist of the Italian Renaissance, but very flawed in execution. l decided to buy it as my first IEMs. I own over the years HD 600, 6XX, 58X, Beyer DT880 (very analitycal, bright) used HD 598, ATH-M50X, and listened to a few other full size headphones. I...

The other way around is just increase the volume a little, say to 10L and increase the depth. Hopefully port(s) with larger dia/area and appropriate length will fit. Since we have larger volume we can move the fb up and reduce the length of the port(s) a little, but that may not be enough. The...

Mechanik, no thank you for making it available to DIY community. Well, actually big thanks to Amir as we have confirmation how good your software is and how one with careful set of measurements and planning is capable of designing such well measuring project. I been asleep for a while when comes...

I see. Most likely something resembling inductor in series for baffle step correction around 120-150zHz, plus capacitor with resistor in parallel. No RLC notch filter to reduce the midbass hump. And if there is one, just not enough correction. My take on Samba, easiest one I could come up with...

The drivers sensitivity/efficiency is actually so low - heavy cone/voice coil assembly to keep FS low, and then you just can't make the spider too soft either. As with everything in life ruled by physics, no free lunch. Myself, I rather have 3dB more in efficiency than f3 lower by 5Hz. And I bet...

The edge diffraction would be one thing. But I think because upper mids, the 700-2k range is pulled up, the dip counter acts brightness which affects most instruments and vocals. Also it might be that this particular tweeter's power response or distortions make things stand out more than other...

Supposedly according to reviews the just released X Crinacles Dawn, not the latest Blessing 3, is the one to go for. A bit warmer and more natural timbre then the B3.

$250 for 100Wx4 +1 it's a great deal. Let's be honest most in cases car amps, even McIntosh amps, are not the equivalent of home hi-end audio. Foremost they are designed to survive the tough life of audio amp in varying temperature and humidity, user abuse, never ending vibrations. The audio...

You can always mount the X-O in separate box, actually it's preferred to have the over parts away from magnets and vibrations. On top it's easier to do fine tunning and voicing with X-O out of the box. As for offset in Z axis between tweeter and woofer, it changes the phase relation therefore...

The baffle as in the last picture looks nicer than in the first, at least to me. It supposedly also behave better regarding the acoustics. And easiest to make. I assume the opening for woofer driver will be routed at 45 deg to avoid unwanted back wave reflections - make the Purify breath as...

Are Sony V6 beaten by other closed back models ? Not really, especially if someone has to spend over 100 - 150 dol. or Euros. Sure, K371 or M50X will sound better but they aren't without flaws. If the V6/7506 are in good condition and can be run with EQ, meet users needs, then I wouldn't...

They always sounded too bright for me, with some fatigue in upper mids/low highs. The dip in low mids around 200-300Hz is common for most closed backs. I think ATH-M50x is a nicer HP to listen.

Then there is question how good your own hearing is, damaged hearing is not uncommon today. I have really hard time hearing things my friends describe, sometimes a good thing, but generally I wish it was better. Of course not all recordings are pristine and not all music has the spectrum or...
