I should clarify, I canceled from Linsoul and reordered from AliExpress during the sale to save some gas money. So this is the DD-Hifi (Linsoul) pre-order on Ali.

I had a chance to listen to the Glacier (like 15 minutes or so) this past weekend, that’s a badass punchy set. If it wasn’t for the fact that the FiR RN6 was there too, it would have been my favorite I’d listen to amongst Europa, Supernova, Titan, Crimson.

I jumped in the Estrella pool with you guy’s. That FOMO got to me Placed the order then noticed that Linsoul was on some sort of break… Go figure. From what I can tell it is at least one of the top $500 sets so why not.
Does the tape mod cause any of the pressure issues I hear about? I was thinking I could use some sort of perforated tape to let it breath a little or I could make some small plugs with varying hole sizes to experiment. Anyone done either?

There wasn’t any pressure build up in the time I used it but of course YMMV.
I tried micropore tape and you’re not gonna get the same level of bass reduction as with a solid tape. Jay’s recommendation to me stands: either use solid tape or don’t worry about taping it at all. But of course YMMV

Finished Cable Rolling for Estrella, after hours of testing.
The Stock Cable is the winner. ( Well managed every aspect overall, nothing is compromised ).
Conclusion - Start enjoying as stock.

Flip Polarity Check 
The Flip of polarity changes the Subbass , making is a bit broad which somewhat overshadows the lower-mids a bit.

As @GooberBM mentioned, I did not experience any pressure issues with the Tape Mod (using standard Scotch Tape) but I am also not typically bothered by pressure issues with un-vented IEMs so YMMV. I have also seen some people report a loss of dynamics and soundstage with the Tape Mod and that was not my experience at all; the sound becomes more balanced and the stage “positions” of instruments and vocals change a bit but everything seems to maintain the same gradation of scale. I think personal taste > all when it comes to whether people prefer it or not.

Did you only flip one side? if so that is out of phase.
