SpinFit CP360 for True Wireless Earbuds L/M– Patented Silicone Eartips for Replacement (2 Pairs)(for Nozzle Diameter from 4-5.5mm) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07PJNHM3Z/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_ZJKQ9FD8YSY3TZZT2KPB

I got CP360 for Thieaudio Monarch and was using CP500 for VX. Out of whim, I tired the CP360, the tip end length fits perfectly so does sound. As if CP360 was born to be the stock tip with better sealing.

Interesting find @AmericanSpirit . I was always reluctant to use SpinFits (other than the very wide ones (CP500, CP155)) due to the fact that they have a reduced diameter at the joint. Extension in the highs is normally better with wide (cylindrical or even conical) bores, but in some cases narrower bores can reduce treble peaks.

Received the V14 today. It was surprisingly quick, taking only 2 days delivery from @MusicTeck. Fit was excellent, very comfortable and light to wear. I'm enjoying the sound so far, the bass especially sounded amazing moreover coming from BA drivers. It sounded unlike BA, and more DD-like with emphasis on the sub region. And that's before turning the switch. With the bass switch up, it gained even more power in the lows increasing its quantity, slam and size. Treble extends far, and I could hear it having a large influence on resolution and stage width. The V14 is a huge step up from VX in almost every area I think. Impressive

Thanks for your first impressions. Is the bass as good a BA bass as with the U12t?

It is a special BA I think, in that it manages to reach very low in the sub region. U12t has a good bass too, but to my memory it's not as deep. And the texture is different too. The V14 has a more organic texture I feel, less dry and less analytical than most BA bass character

Sounds impressive, thanks!

Sometime the internal acoustic of CP500 (5mm) /CP155(5.5m) may not fit some IEM because their length is like from 10-12mm, that long barrel may cause internal resonance, for which CP360 is big caliber, and shorter barrel

Ah, so the CP360 don't have a narrowing at the joint? That sounds good (pun intended ).

V14 and a friend just arrived, more details and an unbox photos coming …

The V14 trebles are very smooth yet have lots of micro detail, very silky sounding. The bass seems a bit better than the VX, I’m using the default switches.

The cable is a letdown since it appears to be identical to the VX cable but with removable connectors. The latter is a good thing, but on its new flagship, I would have thought qdc would have come up with something more commensurate since I believe this cable sells separately for ~$200.

I’m running my normal burn-in protocol, so more impressions soon …

I don’t think there’s a thread for the S.K yet, so I’ll create one.

Crin just uploaded a graph. There are more graphs on his site with switches engaged.

Here’s the unboxing …
