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

No , there’s a std practice to dip at 9K but that too in Headphones. This dip happens a lot in DDs but , I need to find out why is this there ?

I can agree a bit on the depth perception since, I do notic it fills up the center stage a bit but , kinda feels unnaturally dark.

This one is 5128 graph though

This one is from Letshour S12 2014 Gold
In Cantor too there was a big dip.

ohh, the OG Basscannon hps with their 70mm DD.

(Although didnt you have one? Could have sworn I saw you doing the bass paper test with them…or maybe that was the lower tier one in that series?)

Lucky af.

iirc, that XB1000 and the JVC HA-SZ2000 (55mm DD + 30 mm DD) were the old bass champions in the hp world.

This likely has a lot to do with the 711 coupler, as the length node resonance causes measurements to go wonky in the high end. The 9Khz dip that happens in some headphone measurement is a similar story with the GRAS standard, and both of these features may or may not present themselves in your own ears when listening. B&K rigs have much better acoustic impedance modeling and can give a much clearer picture of what is actually going on.

Although, it can also be that when you use a single driver, it is more difficult to ensure an even frequency response. That’s part of the benefit of using multiple drivers.

The graph is made with 5128

And yes, I am using the IEM, and the dip is noticeable. It’s a single driver, but it’s a planar driver.

Did you order from FF? Reg shipping or expedited? My tracking number does not seem to even work so was curious.

Direct from fatfreq. Regular shipping. Order in the 500-1000 range. I think it came so quick because there isn’t anything special that came with it. No alu case, no hat.

Dang. Thanks for the reply.

Which carrier delivered?

Yep that was my beef with it.

My tracking from SingPost finally works, and it was “Despatched to overseas (Country code: US)”, which made me laugh a bit, since the word they wanted was “dispatched”

Honestly I’m not sure. Maybe usps? Tracking doesn’t specify what carrier it was transferred to once it was in the US. I’ll have to pull the bag out of the garbage and look at the shipping label.

This is true… :heart:

They must be busy
And my mails get ignored like yours.

Such a shame that they could screw up communication and shipping this bad. I vaguely recall you saying they bumped the price for shipping? If they batched shipped according to the order number, I don’t see why they need to hire another company for that. I’d take “thots and prayers” over silence.

Till Fatfreq gets it all together, not getting into other stuff. :v:

Built a safety net cuz that balcony and his really really active character was nightmare fuel
Feel alot better now. That net is bonded hard to the under rail.

well, I have one iem that measures with 11khz dip and at first I thought it was made to reduce metallic timbre as much as possible but then I got other iems with most treble energy around 10-13khz and it sounded totally fine, actually the first iem sounded very unnatural after that. It’s like having bad treble extension and adding a wispy noise peak on top.

There are also graphs of some iems (single planars for example) with and without 11k dip on different 711 couplers.
