Hi, I would like to share a little more of my impressions of the two Pilgrims. :sweat_smile: I think it is easier to explain with the aid of this FR graph I posted elsewhere: Orange: Pilgrim:Noir aligned with the Pilgrim OG with reference to the treble region Cyan: Pilgrim OG's FR with 1k set...- saldsald

The Frequency Spectrum only refers to the fundamental frequencies of these instruments. It doesn't mean that an instrument cannot reach harmonics higher or lower than the range.- saldsald

I hope the picture is clear enough. But is that a new type of planar?- saldsald

Hey Yea, I also bought an extra pair of ConX Pen Ear before their arrival for the AB testings. Also been tip rolling for the OG and I think TRN T Tips are pretty good there. I think the OG loves to get more gain to balance out the treble and the bass, too.- saldsald

Knowledge Zenith (KZ) impressions thread
No no, I removed the driver to harvest the shell. I think it's really difficult if not impossible to remove a DD from a metal shell without destroying it, lol. I usually buy pricer DDs from the factories directly. Not always good results as the shell take a major part in the sound. Modding the...- saldsald

The available space is really limited for this one and yeah, I actually removed the original DD completely for a future project. The limited space makes it not an ideal shell for further modding but adding a BA is fine.- saldsald

Hi, I used both a cap and a resistor. There's no space for a damper or a tube. The slot is directly connected to the front cavity of the DD so you can only electronically tune it. I dampened it to give the sound just a bit more texture and if you don't dampen it enough you will hear all the BA...- saldsald

Yea but from my experience the wire insulation material (the skin) do sometimes give the sound a different response / character. Try this, one of the best songs and albums for sound testing IMO.- saldsald

The stock cable of PILGRIM OG is fairly bright and I can't say I like it in stock form. Not a concern if you plan to get an Pentaconn Ear adaptor for other cables however. NOIR is a better package but comes at a higher price.- saldsald

Just a quick impression: While the Eros S Noir is a good match for the PILGRIM NOIR even without burn-in, I find the Code 24C to be the perfect match ATM. :L3000: Clean and precise treble without any harsh harmonics, adequate thumpy bass response, good definition of stage and separation...- saldsald

The OG is too bright for me at higher volume so I personally prefer the NOIR which allows more bass to kick in without the treble sounding too forward.- saldsald
