    Audeze iSINE 10 & iSINE 20: Audeze releases two new IEM planar magnetic earphones

    Thanks for the very helpful reply. While I like a bright high end, I want it to shimmer, not glare. Your comments infer the side you come down. From the list, I feel comfortable there are good choices available. I'll begin with a yggy/rag for evaluation and go from there. Again thanks...

    Audeze iSINE 10 & iSINE 20: Audeze releases two new IEM planar magnetic earphones

    Trying to work my way into an isine, but have gotten hung up on the almost universal preference expressed for the SQ of the Apple cable option. Just does not seem right that the inline cable DAP would provide better SQ than a quality DAP separate albeit through an SE cable.. Am I missing...

    The Official Sony MDR-Z1R Flagship Headphone Thread (Live From IFA 2016)

    The theory of statistical significance requires a sample size with substantial a number of units for there to be statistical significances. My recollection is 15 units in the sample are needed for 90% confidence the results are reasonably representative of universal population, i.e. the...

    But I will bet you were clever enough to spend a couple of minutes playing with different positions of the head strap before you found that "just right" feel.

    Do you mean the Phillips screw on the inside of the headband slide?

    Inserts did lift the base seeming to noticeably extend the resonance of a note as it decayed. However, my ears have pronounced high end rolloff and thus appreciate all the simmering I can get, so I prefer the Aeon's sans inserters

    Noticed you have both cables for the Aeon. Am considering going balanced (to a Rag) and would appreciate your comments comparing Aeon SE to DUM balanced. Am into the 7th day of continuous burn in. Had nice step up on 5th day's listen over starting point and think today's as better yet. A...

    It is surprising how little it takes. After reading your note, tried driving with the Fiio e12, and the Aeons give very little back though feeding through a Yggy might be a factor.

    Aaah, best practice. Take a quick listen immediately and burn in beyond recommendation. Full effect of burn is unclouded by intermediate listening sessions which just cause recall confusion.

    AEON, MrSpeakers' New Closed Back Planar Magnetic Headphone

    For order number 10966 received shipping notice on 22nd that shipment was made on the 19th (three days earlier) with scheduled delivery on 23rd. That is, on this order there was a delay in the notice of shipment, not in the shipment. Could be Dan et. al. have put preference on getting the boxes...

    This is a copy of the e-mail received May 15th: "Dear ÆON Customers, Over the weekend our box manufacturer left our ÆON boxes on a loading dock during a rainstorm, ruining the entire shipment. Fortunately there were several hundred boxes made beyond our order that we are air-freighting and...

    Yes, I saw that comment and considered it mere away to say, they sound good out of the box and indicative of burn in. Needless to say, I will consider your church selection when appraising your opinion.

    Schiit Happened: The Story of the World's Most Improbable Start-Up

    Not necessarily a Schiit oversight. Many enthusiasts revel in a bit of inconvenience for the sake of making a statement. The Rag shouts, “I am for the listener who wants the best sound quality for the lowest price.” Losing a remote is great, a signature moment, a defining characteristic...

    No biggie, I'd go for the better resolution every time. Glad Dan did (if he in fact did).
