Bad Guy Good Audio Reviews (A Million views?) Part 3/4

You can save some time by skipping all your single DDs. They tend to have a flat impedance curve so that adapter wont do anything to the FR.

Mr. HBB…the thing is I didn’t pay up front…and if I warned people not to get their hopes up of a quick turnaround it would have helped some but displeased more…

invested the money I would have paid for the Deuce back in August and mercifully the market provided me with a free one…almost

I have the utmost empathy for those waiting for their monitors because I distinctly remember the feeling :face_with_symbols_over_mouth:

Hey Riku. What would cause the FR to change with the adapter? I know the CKLVX D41 has a single DD, but according to hobby talk squig it changes the FR. I am curious as well just based on the fact that I never used an adapter before.

I did this with the SL41,after watching his video about a month or two ago. When I did it with that set…
It did increase the bass but sucked out the mids and vocals and did not sound good at all!
That was my only experience with trying an adapter with any set. Haven’t done it since.
It is always worth a try though,do some listening for yourself and enjoy🤙

In this instance I had no intention of refunding, I was leveraging a possibility to get a response, seems to have worked.
Paypal…does have some support personal that would be better suited not dealing with customers, yet ultimately, they have had my back when presented with facts in a calm, reasonable manner :wink:
Hopefully I won’t need to test your warning in the future.

My requests:

  • Most Affordable Maestro
  • DD’s only
  • Buy a MD Variations for cross measuring reference.
  • Exchange physical samples/ not graph ride. (we did 7x from Sing to Japan and back)
  • Let public cash buyers drive narrative. Best indication anyway , of long market life span

Fatfreq main additions

  • Design (Chefs Kiss)
  • Bass Cannon V2 ( Why it worked & it’s quite clever))
  • Having Bassist/Drummer feedback, nothing changed but it was a nice perk

Mistakes:
25dB advert was not only incorrect it was completely un needed.
This was never supposed to be a Scarlet mini with my logo
It caught fire at Can Jam London with no IO
My DM w/FF contain zero mention of a need for bass. The IO was likely an idea they got from Crinacle.
Ask em buddy. It was a Moondrop Vari w/ harder bass hit via unique bass system. A Scarlet mini for 239 with the IO is a clever move I guess but not my idea. And not why they sold a shit load at Can Jam London. Not why they sold 6000 and climbing. That graph w/IO didn’t exist till 5500 was already reached.

The estimation of 5-6k units moving at once was greatly underestimated by Fatfreq.
They need bigger staff for this next level and I’m sure that is in plans.
A bigger facility is already obtained

Meanwhile, the Chopin arrived today. You weren’t wrong about these, Boss. This a really nice set. A very pleasant surprise, indeed. :+1:t2:

And now, back to Deuce Mania! :laughing: I reckon I may be picking up a set at some point, but will wait a bit and let things stabilize.

Best Timmy collab for my library. The tuning should be closer to his next collab than Davinci I hope anyway :v:

In case of single DDs this applies to most of IEMs I guess as you said, but there are also fun crap headphones like HD6xx/HD650 that need not to be forgotten :see_no_evil:

They are local here in Omaha, and I knew a lot of people that used to work for them. They got super cheap on staff, shutdown their campus and the sold the buildings, and are basically operating on about 1/6th of the budget compared to 2 years ago. The bottom line is they got hooked on the revenue from servicing the goverment PPP loans, and they haven’t been the same since.

Jeez, this hypes more. The only blind buy I have ever made lol. All thanks to HBB for convincing us lol and ofcourse the trust.

The real question is: HOW IS IT WITH THE IMPEDANCE BASS ADAPTER ???

3 Likes

Thanks for being patient…the wait was long
It hits harder than any set they have made with that adapter.
I am realizing that was their goal.
Put a Scarlet v2 on a the back of a collab and intro bass cannon v2 to the masses.
Clever move that confused me/annoyed me
Bassheads will be served as well as folks who want the rhythm section to stay out of the vocals

My Deuce still can’t be tracked. No movements or updates whatsoever since October 4 when I got the shipping notice

Anyone else?

Yeah, my shipping number is still showing up as the item is untrackable or the shipping number is a 3rd party order confirmation.

Think it’s just going to show up when it’s ready to show up.

Same here brother and when I asked, I got an email back from Yeo saying it had been collected by the forwarder. So all I have is a FedEx tracking number, but FedEx says they haven’t yet recieved the package. So I assume its still with this “Forwarder” who apparently has no accountability mechanism for us to follow up with. So I guess we just need continue to go on luck and hope for now.

Same boat. As someone that bought IEMs from IMR this is nothing.
