Original :) (sorry late reply)

Really impressed sounds of m2 with my gears. No going back to m1.

One small Bluetooth amp and fit perfectly with shure amp = AT-PH55BT

I found out that I like PP8 on the stock cable the most too. I tried 1960s on PP8. Some are improved and some are totally changed (and I am not sure I like them). At one point, I changed back to Stock cable and feel this is the sound that I want. PP8 with stock cable is very good on its own.

No 1043 >>> My best setup so far with CE-5

A little bump up this thread as I need some advice. I "love" prophile 8 a lot. It is my sweet spot for sound, tone, stage, image, etc. If I would like to step up my game, what would be my next earphone?

I use eneloop pro (Panasonic JP) since day one because it is rechargeable and it is called "Pro". I also have the standard eneloop by Sanyo. Never tried to compare the sound when changing the battery. Will try but I think my ears would not detect the different ^ ^.

That is the good price. BTW, you can use AAA rechargeable too.

Good match 380CU + PP8, best sound ever (to my ears). Prefer PP8 over U10 or 335 380CU + U10 = sound is brighter, stage comes closer. feel like each instrument there piece by piece. 380CU + PP8 = sound is more natural, organic as the whole band. draw me into the music easier.

I have U10 about one year. Just got 380cu (of course, 2nd hand). I expected that U10+380cu = super good sound. Yes, details are there. The stage/image is awesome. However, sometimes I feel the sound "too-safe". I don't have this feeling with 240SS. Will find time to listen U10+240SS again.

I am looking for the top dynamic earphones. I have been using the truth for 2.5 years with 240SS+Ref8+Kojo KM01. I did demo RE2000 and the Dream. I felt I like the overall sound of RE2000 more than the Dream. Anyone have heard both the truth and RE2000? Care to share your thoughts.

Brasso is working fine to me.

Just try changing to JVC Spiral Dot tips. Got better bass. Worth to try for anyone need more bass on the Martian

Lucky me, I almost pull the trigger for BRASS. There are some 2nd hand around here.  As the owner of TRUTH, I don't like to have 2 phones sound similar to each other.
