šŸ”¶ Letshuoer S12

Gumiho doesnā€™t seem to be a ā€œtrueā€ planar though. Kinera marketing definitely flexed their muscles on that one :sweat_smile:

Iā€™m looking for a balanced planar, and there doesnā€™t seem to be much offer: every good planars seem to be more or less v-shaped. Talos seems ok, but some review made me think twice about it; and I donā€™t know if I want to pay that much for a switch and a ba that will probably never be usedā€¦

It is closer to a planar than any other driver out there though. But it has voice coils like DDs do.

Thatā€™s what the company told me as well.

Love the Uniti Atom HPE.

@shuoer Thanks :+1:

Surprised, never seen a chifi IEM review from Androidcentral before.

Just finished the full ShortBus modā€¦holy cow, the filter change turns them into BASS CANONSā€¦ a little too dark for me but removing the nozzle restriction brightens things back up.

One of the best IEM deals I ever scored: $84 USD.

Hello there ladies and gents I have a question I hope one of you awesome people could help me with. I own a Z12 set and I want to try and eq them to a tuning like the Kai or the Mele (or if even possible the Mahina). Could anyone help lead me in the right direction to do this?

Hey Dave - have you tried to use Squig.link and the equalizer function? Itā€™s a fantastic tool to play around with. Give it a shot. If you choose the Z12ā€™s graph first and then then whatever other IEM to EQ it to, it will give you PEQ values to apply in your app or device of choice.

Thanks Dom! :smiley:
I need to drop the reference target to flat to get the normal squig comparison Iā€™m guessing?

Thanks man, now Iā€™m just trying how to figure out how to translate that to my 10 band eq on my Walkman lol :sweat_smile:

Any time, Dave! Looks like Riku took care of your question. Any luck with the EQ? I remember one night I got so sucked in, I spent an hour and a half finding just the right EQ for the OH10 :sweat_smile: definitely worth it :sunglasses:

Also PS. Iā€™d try to utilize the EQ below 6-7Hz. EQā€™ing the treble area is fairly pointless considering most couplers arenā€™t accurate above there anyways. I would play around with it, but I wouldnā€™t try to copy it exactly.

But let us know how you make out! Iā€™m just not familiar with the Sony software, or else Iā€™d dive int there for you!

While I have been able to somewhat figure out squiglink Iā€™m not there enough to apply things correctly yet like utilizing EQ below 6-7Hz and such lol :sweat_smile:
With my Walkman thid is what Iā€™m working with, maybe you can tell me what I should be typing in and such?

So, Iā€™m not familiar with the Walkman software tbh. Do you have access to Q values?

Like this:

On the BTR7, I have the ability to choose the specific Hz, gain and Q value (which determines whether the effect to that specific Hz is more of a peak or shelf-like).

Do you have something similar, or?

I just have the equalizer to work with, so no to the Q values. nymz was able to help me with getting my Kinda Lava EQā€™d to a Mahina type level, and I have a picture maybe this will help?

I see. Without Q values, unfortunately to my knowledge thereā€™s no true way of getting the absolute correct EQ. Iā€™ll be happy to help you for sure get those values, though. Youā€™re trying to EQ the Z12 to Mele or Kai, correct?

Iā€™m just hoping to get close and then go from there, I suppose my main mission is to bump up the midbass a good bit properly so I can take a bit of the edge off the Z12 and get a better sense of atmosphere/immersiveness from the midbass at the same time unless Iā€™m wrong so I thought any of those three were a good place to start. Kai isnā€™t up on squiglink yet though just a heads up. So short answer is yes lol
