    post your grado mods....

    I used similiar 3,5mm connectors in my Grado sr225e mod. They've been good and solid so far. Be careful though with hot air and cup separating, I made mistake using heat gun too close and plastic got deformed. Lucky that driver survived. Ended up buying wooden cups. I prefer to confirm pin...

    Xuelin H6 (ihifi1969) review and impressions

    I'm not familiar with MAC computers, but in Windows 10 and Lubuntu both card and internal storages show up normally in file browser, like any other type of mass storage device would. Have the player's second screen turned off (lower switch down), when connecting in to computer. I don't know if...

    Reply to review by 'ilmothedude' on item 'Xuelin Clear'

    Great review! How you describe the sound characteristics feels pretty similiar to my Xuelin H6. Seems like that might be Xuelin's house sound. It's a very captivating sound. What's not captivating is that firmware. It looks very similiar with H6 firmware, expect with two screens more. Looks like...

    Xuelin H6 (ihifi1969) review and impressions

    I tested flac file you shared on my Xuelin ihifi1969 and it indeed gives error and won't play. I have maybe (probably) latest firmware 1.08 2017-11-21. So your player is not to blame, it's the file for reason unknown. Most of my flac files are my own cd rips with EAC, with compression level at 5...

    Earbuds Round-Up

    I recently bought Fiio RC-UE2B 2.5mm balanced cable to use with my Rose Maria. It has same type of 0,75mm 2 pin connector, even with same kind of recessed design, so it fits Maria perfectly. Now I can use Maria over ear, and it works surprisingly well. Actually really well, I think this is the...

    Thanks, this was actually inspired from those Porta Pro Sansa Clip combos I saw back in olden times. Thanks for the tip!

    My "wireless" Grado implementation with Earstudio ES100 bluetooth receiver. Today soldered the cable with correct lengths to make this nifty setup. Works very well and is easy to remove and install. Grado is sr225e model with shibibo audio cups and aluminum blocks, taped L cushion, diy foam...

    Xuelin H6 (ihifi1969) review and impressions

    I don't have such problem. Most of my music in my 128gb sandisk ultra card is in FLAC format and I never get file format error. I have I think one mp3 file which gives always that error though, but there's probably just something wrong with that file, I haven't bothered to check. Maybe there's...

    Earbuds Round-Up

    Now that's very unfair.. Is Penon actually modifying package contents or something.. I assume two cables is what Rose Technics provides with Maria, as there were two cables with Masya aswell. Did you only get one cable with Maria?

    Earbuds Round-Up

    That's strange as I think there were that same picture of copper cable when I ordered, but I still got that original blue cable along with silver braided one. Quite shortly after I got Maria it went out of stock, so I probably got one of last pairs of discounted Maria from Penon. That blue cable...

    Earbuds Round-Up

    I normally use her cable down with double foams (one full and one donut, from ve ex-pack). I've tried around ear aswell but it hasn't usually felt that stable. However right now I'm listening to Maria cable around ear and fit seems actually pretty stable. Bass seems to be a bit less present...

    Earbuds Round-Up

    I agree, amaizingly coherent tuning! Works indeed well with warmer source. I sometimes like to listen my Maria with a bit of crossfeed as it creates more sense of depth thus making midrange little less forward. Fit is still a little gripe though as sometimes they just don't want to stay in...

    Earbuds Round-Up

    Rose Martini looks really nice! Would be interesting to know how they perform compared to Maria. I've now spent over a month with my Rose Maria and I really like them! That soundstage and imaging are still so impressive. I haven't listened much of anything else after I got them. That signature...

    Earbuds Round-Up

    Well it's about time Rose moves to more common connector type. :smile: I even measure the pin diameter of Maria cable with micrometer, and it showed exactly 0,75mm. But at least I now have four compatible cables to use with Maria or Masya.
