Arcadia is rocking Punch’s stock cable without earhooks & final-E tips
Both aren’t aesthetically pleasing. Should’ve matched the cable with the colour scheme.
My current daily driver. Haven’t switched them until now. About 2 months. Absolutely adore em
allright! I never heard it and now it seems I dont have to. While giving out recs to people who wants to try the hobby i thought this could be a good one since it comes with two sets of above average tips. I find it hard to motivate people to spend as much on tips as on the IEMs for their first set
btw, will there be a RA review or did you dislike it to the point of not making one? I dont remember if you have that rule of thumb that you only review what you like alot like crin and such ;D
100% a resonance peak. There is a big dip or spike on 99% of the IEMs I’ve measured on this coupler. It’s a consequence of the design of the 711 coupler and one of the big improvements of the B&K 5128.
The accuracy of a 711 coupler falls off starting between 6-8kHz depending on who you ask. Lots of peaks and valleys beyond this point might not exist, but if there’s a general upward or downward trend, that’s probably legit.
I personally don’t hear any peakiness in the Legion’s treble.
To add a little bit to it, that first peak, and all the peaks after it (resonance peaks) move depending on how deep you insert the IEM into the coupler. More shallow insertion moves the peak down closer to 6-7Khz. Deeper insertion pushes it closer to 9kHz.
I try to line up all my measurements so that the first peak is as close to 8kHz as I can manage. But it isn’t always possible due to the design of an IEM. Sometimes the nozzle is too short for me to line up the peak at 8K, so it ends up closer to 7. The opposite is also true.
Lining up the peaks at 8K or as close to it as possible means that you can better compare my measurements against each other.
Yo, Chris, I got to listen to the Valhalla @ CanJam today. All I can is, wow. Idk if I can justify the price tag, but honestly, they blew me away. My favorite IEM of the show by far.
The B&K5128 has it’s own resonances and issues and on that front does not provide any improvement whatsoever over the 711, it actually provides more artifact problems in the measurements as now there are multiple step mass resonances due to its design to go with any entrance resonances which will also be harder to consistently align due to the 5128 seating issues.
