Just let an alcohol swab dry out, cut out a square 5mm or so and place it over the nozzle, secure in place with the ear tip. I'm sure there are options on the market that have this built-in but I have no experience with it. You can buy adhesive filters on Aliexpress also.

A higher OI impedance (OI will be the same as the impedance of the adapter) results in less bass presence on the Ara. You will be best to pair it with a 1-ohm or sub-1-ohm source. Consider also putting some cloth/swab over the nozzle and you can tone down the high-end by a few dB giving the...

Exactly, there is no electronic crossover circuit here. The Ara is one of the few IEMs I have tested that benefits from a sub 1-ohm output impedance, even on a 1 ohm source it can sound a bit lean for many. The U6t was a loan unit so I haven't heard it for some years now... At a very basic...

Hey Andreas, taken from my comments section: As compared to the Ara, the Fathom is warmer and fuller, subjectively a bit more balanced. The Ara is brighter but more tonally transparent as it’s bass tuning is flatter, the Fathom having more warmth and fullness that also colours it’s midrange...

I'm excited to announce my review of the newly announced Fathom is now live! In essence, the Fathom represents an evolution of the Andromeda formula that feels highly familiar yet changed in a meaningful way that earns the new title. Consider the Fathom a spiritual successor to the Andromeda...

Hey guys, Has been a while since I've had a chance to visit Head-Fi but I've enjoyed reading the impressions in this thread and it's great to see Jed's creations getting some love :) They're about to get some more as I present my review of the Omnium. We've already had great coverage in...

Well well well.. What do we have here! I have been radio silent for a while but am back into it with some impressions of Eric's new cable, Sonnet of Adam. First up, we are talking about Eletech here so great build quality and excellent visual design are a given. Eric has really stepped up the...

Now that the cat's out of the bag I can share some snippets from my review alongside some early low-key photos, I hope you enjoy :) Brief impressions - What immediately strikes about the Ode to Laura is its liquid note presentation and smooth yet highly articulate nature. It has an L-shaped...

Can't speak before the embargo but you'll find out soon ;)

Lads get ready...

Thanks for sharing! Just wanted to chime that the 8k peak is coupler resonance. I stated this in my review but that wouldn't be clear looking at the graph. The Advar still has a lower treble peak but it's not too bad for my ears. I find dynamic drivers aren't quite as grating vs BA at dB to...

Fresh out, my review of the Aurum! This is a beautifully executed earphone. Indeed, they lean bright but in the best way possible with copious sparkle and headroom at the very top meaning minimal harshness in the audible range. The Aurum also comes across as an appreciably more refined than...

What a beaut :smiley:
