Not IEMs but I just got a new speaker amp and I'm disappointed. I fucking hate shills.
>>23238 Reviewers aren't going to bite the hand that feeds them. That's why as a matter of principle I don't buy stuff that I can't demo.
>>23247 I'm drunk as shit right now

I want to integrate a CD and a cassette player in my system. For whatever reason this Tascam model with the digital output is discontinued and they only sell the shitty analog one. Could overpay for the PL200T and deal with the ugly color, but then I'd also have to find a cassette deck too.

>tfw peqqed by PEQdB as "basshead" and Beats products align closer than expected >untuned Power Beats Pro being close to such a degree >stock MDRs were probably great in the 80s except its 1985+40 and inventions like neodymium magnets and mass injection moulding exist Above notices aside, I'm trying to pick though either one of these >Kiwi Cadenza >Tanchjim Bunny >Simgot EW100P & EW200 The EW200 is probably closest when it comes to the generated preference squiggle, plus it's basically the same price as the Cadenza. Only downside I can see is the Presence & Treble getting a tad grating, but it would be better than 7506s as a whole. Then the Bunny and EW100 would be good if considering going slightly cheaper but still keeping allegedly good build quality.
>>23325 >Only downside I can see is the Presence & Treble getting a tad grating I can't comment on the other two, but I've heard the Bunny and yes, it is grating. Then again, I have two friends who daily drive the Bunnys so it really is a length mode/hrtf issue.
>>23325 EW200 is mega bright and shouty, more so than every other pos you mentioned The Bunny and Cadenza are probably your best bet, but I don't know why you're choosing based on sound quality if you plan on using EQ. If not then all of them will be drastically different than your target.
>>23328 I see it more as even with EQ, the 7506's can only go far in terms of adjusting sound First image was more or less to demonstrate how fucked the supposed preference profile I got was, that even EQing would only go so far. Second was more of potential picks I had. but yeah I can disquality the EW200 in that case.
>>23331 With IEMs you can go very very far, much farther than you would expect For IEMs, if you are proficient with EQ, you should only be focusing on looks and comfort.

>Impulse bought a Questyle CMA15 yesterday Lmao fuck me. Shop was selling the last CMA15 unit at a heavily discounted clearance price, so I fomo'd. It doesn't drive the Duality the way I like it, but it'll suffice for now. The Questyle has a nice physical switch to flick between HP Amp and DAC-only so that's going to be fun when I do add an endgame amp to the stack. Unlike other amps, the Questyle is current-driven and has quite a nice warm tonality akin to tubes, so it does a niche in my collection, but I'm gonna look for a dryer sounding amp next.
>>23333 that cable + iem combo is so ugly, what is wrong with you and prestige anon
>>23334 That's the stock cable (Mira MK2) for the Storm. It's not like I intentionally uglified my setup.
>>23335 get the yongse britney, it will probably look superb with the storm and is more functional a shame that your setup looks as ugly as it is, don't know how you even listen to them knowing how ungodly they look

>>23336 I appreciate the suggestion anon, but admittedly I have a massive price bias - so it feels wrong to substitute the mira cable for smth cheaper when the mira retails for $2000 msrp.
>>23337 yeah it was kind of obvious you had a mental illness. no worries, there are other options. an all black cable from pwaudio will probably match well and really put focus on the faceplate. na aoraki mk3 fits the color scheme nicely, same for penon storm and ea centurion 2 (black gold edition) anyways you should really optimize your cable, the msrp of the mira is most likely mega inflated just to make the storm stand out as a product. shoddy product matching tbh
I've decided that EQ is a meme.
>>23340 How so?
>>23342 Analog audio. How am I gonna use EQ to compensate for my POS' shortcomings if my source is my vinyl record player hmmm? Check meight EQists.
>>23333 (me) addendum: cma15's tonality isn't warm at all, it's my music that's warm. after A/Bing with my dx340 for a day i'd say the questyle is mildy bright
Gave my friend my old f**o jh3 pieces of shit and he said his bluetooth skullcandy pieces of shit sound better.

>>23547 Well I'm still searching for an amp to improve my chain but I haven't actually bought anything yet. But my Jutem case arrived and looks cool I guess.
>>23548 As long as it's genuine leather.
>>23549 It's called sully goat leather, apparently it's French or smth. Hopefully it's not dogshit.
Our guy Jay is showing some new sliivos. I'm a myer enjoyer but I'll wait for something new. Aesthetically they did a good job as usual. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6YRUFCOZgmE
