6~7 months since the first proto
.
I’m stuck in always checking or cleaning up anything that could potentially cause the iem to fail down the line,
Things that’s nailed so far.
- Config
- Tuning (95% done, last 5% depends on caps i can get close to or exact value of the original caps)
- Colour
- Size, shape, design.
- Cable, connectors, - accessories.
Packaging (I’m going to check on the guy today)
I can finish the iem on the current caps, tho the current caps could potentially have a tuning change down the line by like 5-10% based on the current caps quality.
I’m not an engineer, just learning through the process, this should have been done long back, it just ended up being part of finishing and iem life concerns and only then I had noticed the issue.
I appreciate you’ve been waiting a long time, hope you are enjoying the 2nd proto. The other 2 guys who ordered I luckily told them it could take q1 2024 to deliver so I’m still a bit safe ig for the moment.
The new caps I’m ordering are pretty big, but they have almost 0% chance of failing down the line. The caps being big, I’m trying to increase the damper on the bass tube, so I can get sharper shelf on lower caps that way which in turn I should be able to order smaller caps.
Currently, packaging should be over with by like jan 12 at most, I’ll update on that once I meet the leather guy.
The caps, I’ve been looking up the site I get them from, looks like it’s gonna go to end of Jan that way. (Delivery is about 22nd-23rd jan right now).
I can deliver iem on old caps and promise a rebuild down the line if needed, if it needs to be delivered a bit faster, or we can still go ahead with the final perfect build. ![:saluting_face: :saluting_face:](https://forum.hifiguides.com/images/emoji/twitter/saluting_face.png?v=12)
