For those interested in the Sonic Memory SW2
A comment on the SW2 is they made an error supplying 3.5mn single end cable these tiny iems need power to perform after switching to 4.4mm balanced using the Shanling M6 Ultra on high gain at 40 or the Hiby R8 in turbo mode high gain volume set at 62 the bass deepens and warms up , improving dynamics, the imaging improves the resolution is more apparent the mids thicken up giving superb natural detailed vocals the treble is less strident.
Conversely on the Sony Nw-WM1A or Zx507 even on balanced the bass is there but not as satisfying the mids are thin but still natural timbre just recessed and the treble is more prominent.
With balanced and enough power the SW2 is unmatched in my collection and I have single DD iems over the £700 price bracket.
This and the OD200 are the perfect Ying and Yang of my collection. The technicals and resolution on the SW2 is just on another level even when compared to many multi driver sets in my collection. When considering that it’s an 8mm DD I find this incredible

This is the look on my brother-in-law’s face when I first gave him my PR2s…it changed afterwards
and no…I don’t dislike him…but he is a newb…hopefully this doesn’t disuade him from moving further in the hobby
I’m not a planar guy but if I decide to dip my ear back into the planar pool…I’m thinking of these
But it’s like slapping a potato pancake on the side of your head

I have (and love) the old version GL20s and have the GL30s in my basket 
Stock they(GL20s) are not for everyone but the react pretty nice to EQ.
Looking forward to hear if you get them and what you think about the GL30s.
In musical works use both mono bass and stereo bass, here on the first screenshot mono bass.
On the second stereo.
If you made the headphones play only mono bass, it will be strange for the listener, because sound producers specifically use either stereo bass or mono bass in their tracks. For example, if the sound producer wanted to transmit stereo bass to make the listener feel the surround and you limited it to mono, then the playback of these tracks will be wrong, not as the sound producer intended.
Also for example. surrund bass.

I’ve tested a few playbacks to certain extent, for one, physically the secondary channel bass driver only plays below 120/100hz, a fundamental frequency region where bass starts monomising in actual listening rooms.
I won’t deny there’s possibility of destruction of the bass image, especially when mixes are specifically made to have stereo bass content, the impact however should mostly be very negligible i suppose. I haven’t had particular tracks where I’ve found it to be a disadvantage, it’s also mostly natural with bineural recordings as well…
Only example of a weird occurrence was when i was listening to a particular jazz track by John coltrane, the kick drum during initial recording played on the right had a bit off a bounce off from the left stage as well. I’ve had a very similar experience in reality also but at a lower intensity iirc when i hear kick drums in a band’s performance…
My monobass idea is an experimental one definitely, I’m not one to claim it’s perfect or accurate. The only intention is to represent a true 2.1 setup where you have 2 monitors and a single subwoofer at the center.

Here’s a good article.
As for track mixing in headphones, I can recommend dSONIQ Realphones program.

I also use the program as a tool.
A handy tool for analyzing sound.

In the case of the CP32E MODEL SPECIFICALLY, no, they are waiting on restock despite the fact that it has shown “In Stock” this whole time. As far as any other model on the site, impossible to know. That said, he is expecting restock and will expedite shipping on arrival for me which is the best thing he can offer in this situation.

Thanks for the reply

Since I respect what Chris just had to say about GL30…I’m putting it on the back burner
Like I said…I’m not a planar guy so it would have to be exceptional set and at over 700 I can think of better ways to spread out my coin
But never say never

Cool. Yeah GL30 is not for me with vocals but is has a huge stage. Fit is unique but alright. Build and presentation are top notch

The 622B just changed from “In Stock” to “Low Stock” from yesterday to today, so I’m guess that it is probably an accurate indicator. It also means that people are throwing $$$$ lol.

Once again you saved me…I’m starting to get into a more ref sound and want my vocals more forward…a more refined palate I would say
But I’ll never give up the bass shelf…live and die by that
That’s why I’m digging what Thieaudio is doing lately…I got Hype 10 incoming as well as the U4s…don’t know why I bought the 64 because I just got rid of the U12t
But I’m a out and out junkie
As well as the Scarlet as you know…I just had to have that mofo in my crib

Achilles Last Stand is a great song, and Presence is one my most listened to Zeppelin albums.
I always think that Achilles Last Stand and Kashmir changed the way people thought of rock music. I know they are consider traditional hard rock, those tracks flirt with progressive in all the best ways.
