    Review by 'o0genesis0o' on item 'Simgot EA1000 "Fermat" In-Ear Monitor'

    Let’s cut to the chase. Simgot’s sub-flagship IEM, the EA1000, codename “Fermat”, is a huge surprise for me and has quickly become one of my favorite single dynamic driver (DD) IEMs. How come? Let’s talk about it. (Yes, the IEM is surprised too) Forewords What I look for in an IEM is...

    They look the same to me. Maybe there is another layer of nylon filter inside that I cannot see. The graphs are not re-aligned at all. I intentionally lock the amp volume to see exactly what the dampening does. Normalisation would give a more accurate picture of the audible effects of the...

    The mystery of EA1000 nozzles These are measurements from exactly the same volume output from the amplifier. As you can see, bass is exactly the same, and the red nozzle is the mildest one. Here is the tricky part: the red nozzle is the one WITHOUT any foam or dampening material inside. You...

    Not yet, unfortunately. I think I’m done with my sources for now. W4 + R3II for outdoor, DX300 for critical listening. I might upgrade the amp card of DX300.

    I’m very curious about Shanling H series because they can play audio independently thanks to built in SD card and OS. However, the high output impedance is concerning to me, since I only use IEMs. Shanling themselves are quite confident about H5, pitching it against the likes of M6 Ultra, which...

    The Mojo has no amp, right? Driving directly from the DAC. I remember Ivan at E1DA makes a big deal about the advantage of that design of his DAC. Anyhow, I much prefer Mojo with an amp, which ended up being too clunky. But that device feels much much nicer in hands than on internet photos. If...

    You are pretty much done with the source game with Mojo 2. Maybe add a pure amp later if you want. I had excellent experience pairing Mojo2 with G5 in pure amp mode. However, the DX300 by itself sound the same as this Frankenstein creation, so I decided to skip the Mojo 2. Another kickass...

    The Official 64 Audio Thread | apex & tia Technologies

    It’s a work tool that was designed to deliver a “flat” mix. IMHO, 64 audio wouldn’t be 64 audio and the U12t wouldn’t remain in conversation nowadays despite being released 7 years ago if 64 audio didn’t managed to nail that “flat” mix. How you wear U12t would impact its sound signature...

    Final Audio recommends spending a few days to get over the expectation of the old sound. I think AB is helpful to exaggerate the difference. Case and point: pilgrim sounds downright mid- to low-res when AB against Anni 2023. Leave them alone a bit and come back, pilgrim sounds high res again...

    The world would be better if everyone takes what they do as serious as he does, I imagined. Anyhow, change to the world comes from inside our home. Now is now. Next time is next time.

    ~ $400-range IEM

    To my ears, ThieAudio IEMs treble is perfectly fine, but they are not warm and cozy like some other brands. I also seem to have higher treble tolerance than others, so.

    ~ $400-range IEM

    I haven't, unfortunately. I have only reviewed the Hype2. In general, ThieAudio has a particular house sound with a moderate amount of treble. You are unlikely to find any warm and easy going from them.
