My first CCA iem the Hydro paired with the GEN 2 iPod got to say I'm impressed with this iem

OG 2nd gen iPod with the CCA HYDRO

I use the FiiO FD7 balanced. Nozzles (green band) on the Himalaya much prefer the way it shapes the sound the simgot red filter added a touch of sibilance for me.

With all the new midfi daps being released recently I obviously decided to buy the Sony Zx707 uncapped Japanese version which can be had for comparable price to the cayin N3Ultra and Shanling M5Ultra. I'm a huge fan of the Sony house sound and Sony haven't let me down this time the Zx707 is very...

As our left and right ear hear differently and the combined sounds are translated/ deciphered by our brain "Scientists have discovered that the left and right ears process sound differently. The right ear responds more to speech and logic while the left ear is more tuned in to music, emotion and...

Today I welcomed the ZX707 to my family.

Great review looks a very interesting cable

The CCA Hydro turned up today and it's actually alright, first listen I like it more than the Pula-02 has better bass more quality and quantity plus the mids are natural with nice body, vocals in particular are really nice and overall less ba timbre. Colour me surprised the cables really nice...

You need recessed pins for imr

I'm looking on Ebay at a few Zx707 if the words High gain are in the settings does this mean it's uncapped. Are the words high gain in the UK/EU models just not active?

What do they sound like?

This week's new additions The Shozy Cygnus Shozy free gift ? And the Tiandirenhe TD21 Of the three I like the TD21 the most may be due to fit the Shozy is bass heavy with veiled mids coming over a little muddy and congested. The free buds that came with the Shozy while bass light have a...

Shanling ME600

I'm always curious why people comment on threads for things they aren't going to buy. From you description of your needs I suggest you get a sony player they last for much longer playing times and they have very active threads. Or if you want a budget player the hiby R511 has 30 hours playback...

My new iem crush, The Shanling ME600 have landed first impressions very positive hit all my preferences spot on. Build quality and presentation is very nice and they are beautiful and a very comfortable fit. DUEL DYNAMIC DRIVERS + TRIPLE BA

The outer shell does not touch the ear anywhere, there are vent holes on the shell so I'm surmising it's a bass resonating chamber

The Tiandirenhe TD21

Excuse the frankly terrible photo. Received today the the TD21 a very beautiful looking oddity with nice cable first impressions are not as bad as I feared. Bassy warm set with no unusual peaks (yet) bought them cos, well they look unique They fit very comfortably in my ears with no need to...

This song and the Nicehck Himalaya is just astounding

Every now and again the perfect synergy of iem, cable source and music produces a transcendental moment when u move to a different plane at one with the music. Tonight was such a moment. The Nicehck Himalaya + Xhins bright/dark 8W copper cable the Cayin N3Ultra and the Derek Trucks band with...

I git them as part of a group but put together by @ttorbic you buy direct from the DIY maker in the Philippines https://www.facebook.com/share/9ws3yVMsoUZKrEx2/

What witchcraft is this? Removed the green rings (not as easy as it sounds) listened and more atmosphere more space less veiled, not there they sounded veiled before but more clarity is perceived details are crisper. Your experiments have been invaluable for me continued enjoyment of this...

Mine downloaded and installed with no issues

I'm completely happy with both mine had them in ear for 6 hours now 3 each, honestly and I'm blown away. Compared to the ones I have from the big brands they are a level above.

I'm relatively new to Flatheads having abandoned the format with the apple buds years ago. Well time for reevaluation, these LRey DIY buds are phenomenal warm bassy analogue sound signature with that big speaker presentation feels like I'm listening to my vinyl on my living room setup. Just very...
