Yay! More of the “let’s stuff as many drivers into a shell and see if the public will think it’s better!” trend that’s infecting our hobby lately.
An IEM’s sound is about tuning and driver quality, not driver count.

Man, you know what is an insult to an injury moment for me after getting scammed back in June this year? It turns out my best friend who recommended me the Pilgrims back then, is now a selling and IceLab Prismatica which is an IEM set that got recommended to me as a direct upgrade on both the Pilgrims and the Volume S.
That means, if I only waited and didn’t rushed like an idiot to get the so called Mega5EST back then, I could have gotten the Prismatica today instead. So overall, I am still bummed out and I have to tell my best friend that “Dude, I appreciate it but I am still not feeling it today for the burnout in me is still here, hence I cannot purchase it from you due to me getting scammed.”
I am gonna have to cut my loses on it and pretty much take my time again on getting back to this hobby and eventually get some upgrades.

I totally get why it stings so much. It’s not just about the money lost, it’s the *timing, the what-ifs, and the sense that you rushed when you could’ve had something better just around the corner.

Yeah I really need to practice more patience for I can admit that one can be my weakness. And as well as rushing things instead of thinking first. Not only that, I really need to stop FOMO, for I think I am not really missing much when there are a lot of stuff coming out but that doesn’t mean it’s automatically better than the past sets.
Yeah man, as much he is right about this one. I cannot be a fan of Thomas Edison, for he ruined Nikola Tesla. Yes, Nikola Tesla for me is the truer one for me, and I really didn’t like the lies that I’ve had learned about Thomas Edison as a kid from his textbooks back then when I was learning him as a subject during my grade school days.
What is funny is that I am not even an American, but somehow I still remember the shit as a kid.

For anyone who’s interested: Headfi just posted the Canjam London preview on their YouTube channel.
Edit: nothing that we weren’t already expecting mentioned in the preview I think (but that is, probably, not surprising).

Hey guys, has anyone tried the Tanchjim bunny and the Tangzu Zetian ? Also how would you compare the Tanchjim with Zero’s 2?
1 Like
I’ve tried the Tanchjim Bunny, it’s super impressive for the price, really clean and balanced, and I’d pick it over the Zero 2 for a more neutral sound. Haven’t heard the Zetian yet, but I’ve read it’s a detail monster if you’ve got the power for it!

Thanks! I found the Zero 2 a bit flat in staging and dynamics almost too polite for my preference… Did the Bunny feel more alive or textured in comparison?
