Bad Guy Good Audio Rankings and stuff (under construction) (Part 2)

That’s a good problem to have.

[Sesame]

Looking for a near-totl iem for classical/epic-orchestral with incredible mids and treble under 4K.
Currently keeping eye on Cadenza (the expensive one) and maybe Rn6. Not looking for harman-ish monarch, and Fat GM seems too V-shaped. However, coming from custom LX, the amount of subbass on cadenza seems kinda sad. Question - are mids on Rn6 audibly muted as they graph?

[GooberBM]

I re-normalized the graphs to match at 1000Hz. Do you really want this much bass for orchestral music? Will you even get all the benefits of it?

And RN6 has a lot more treble energy. If you’re picky about treble, that is to be considered too

[Sesame]

With Rn6’s low-treble forwardness i thought to match graphs on low-treble. And Rn6 doesn’t seem to be too bassy, it’s just that cadenza is a little too light. Looking forward for the review video, if bass implementation on Rn6 helps keeping it under high control.

[Antiwhippy]

I would say that the RN6 would be pretty good for classical. I honestly wouldn’t call it strictly a basshead set, but bassheads would appreciate the immersiveness of the bass as well as the quality of it. Would help a lot for stuff like timpanis, tubas, lower brass etc especially for hall resonance.

Y’all are wild, talking this dude into YOLOing a $3000 IEM.

Couldn’t be me lol

[domq422]

For some, Goobs, $3k isn’t even a YOLO - just thinking about it got my bank calling me

[Antiwhippy]

Oh trust me, I loved the demo, but I ain’t dropping that much for an IEM lmao

[Yodamanjaro]

I never thought I’d spend more than a grand on headphones but here we are.

[hawaiibadboy]

It has 3 filters, in the lowest and even highest it is excellent with Vivaldi, Verdi and Tchaikovsky
It is an exceptionaly clean replay.
The Letshuoer Cadenza is nothing like Rn6
That is a lifeless sterile replay IMO

[hawaiibadboy]

Quality Control is a disaster in my hobby (Personal Audio)

[Sesame]

Thanks. I have to buy iems blindly from my place, so every insight is important for me.

[hawaiibadboy]

No prob, in it’s price range it is arguably the best. Company has solid rep and community seems to have a wide variety of genre in their library including classical.

You were right to assume the cadenza might be thin or lack note weight…it does.
Ask some folks on headfi in a thread called the Watercooler. You can get more opinions. .

[Sesame]

Yep, i’m familiar with watercooler thread and Rn6 seems to be on hype lately.

[Ohmboy]

“watercooler thread and Rn6 seems to be on hype lately”…

And we’re off…

[hawaiibadboy]

I’m considering grabbing a back up…if the Euro wasn’y murdering the yen I’d just pull the trigger

EDIT: That seller has 20 pages of comment history and 99% is seemingly flipping stuff.
I guess that means he’s good at what he does but something seems off

[ttorbic]

I strongly believe that single DD IEM or earbuds is the way to go for classical music, where timbre is paramount
