Thank you :wink:, are the RN6 and XE6 cables also sold separately?
The Rn6 cable is not available for standalone purchase. Xe6 cable is available.
So I guess they have a different construction.....
Yes, Rn6 cable is pure silver with copper shielding. The Xe6 comes with the Scorpion C cable which is pure copper.

Agree about "weak" paint for atom modules. Also happened with red atom here, at the edge become a bit silver now. Already settled with Black as my favourite though, no I don't bother about it anymore.

Tried several eartips, and surprisingly my favourite is the cheapest one around here, from ddhifi: https://www.ddhifi.com/productinfo/1589517.html

Kind of smoother at high, fuller at midrange and more texture in bass. Best part is ddhifi doesn't negate the spacious of soundstage.

So could anyone make a recommendation of a cable that is similar in construction and effect of the Rn6 cable for an Xe6 (not sure it matters but I have a custom)? Doesn’t look like FiR is interested in offering a 3rd custom cable option in their builder on their site. Scorpion/Copper only for now.

Definitely a pinnacle of "open" sounding IEM I ever tried!

Felt this IEM was definitely great at brief listening in canjam sg. Then after more time to listen with my personal set up, this IEM just show me things that surpass my expectation.

p.s: Also tried to plugged to my desktop set up. RN6 scale even higher, deliver even more spacious soundstage image, both depth and width excellently.

1 of 300 great NAMM show this year.

Hi, your Atom modules paint is very easily peeling off on the universal frontier series (mine is Rn6 uni), it leaves paint residue inside the Atom socket, is this ok, and will not damaging the iems?

No worries with damaging anything. We will address this next week.
