Rebel Amp
I talked to the guy He said Rebel Amp is going to move the production to the US bc of the war. Thus, in order to keep costs down, they work hard on simplifying the design. So the Rebel amp will come back with a different internal and probably external design.- ardilla

Kiwi Ears IEM Thread
Nice write up, thanks for sharing. The Cadenza, Orchestra Lite and Quintet seems to be the top 3 and I agree, all are fabulous. The Quartet is pretty good too, I might add. The tuning switches are actually very well implemented- ardilla

Impedance switches works differently on different headphones. I've experienced the same with other amps.- ardilla

LCD-X and XC Update
EQ has its place but I like to judge them by the way they sound by themselves. If they respond well to EQ, that's excellent. But comparing headphones after EQ is getting really complex- ardilla

LCD-X and XC Update
Well, I personally prefer the LCD-X to the Clear but it's definitely not in the league of the Utopia- ardilla

Focal Clear Mg Review & Measurements
Thanks. I think this hint of "metallic timbre" is an issue with all Focal headphones. It really does not bother me. I find some pad swaps to beneficial, but there's always a trade off. I have never heard a perfect headphone, though, there's always trade-offs. That's what makes us keep exploring :)- ardilla

Focal Clear Mg Review & Measurements
I'm trying out a series of Dekoni pads, going to publish a review relatively soon. They definitely affect the sound. But what you prefer will be a matter of taste and preference. As always :)- ardilla
