He seemed not to really like either, Tbe norm for precog. I’d say the Dunu are not awful as he brought up the Moondrop and The Xenn.

Please review Yanyin Cannon @nymz
It is my only option to save money.
The Tea mk2 is already 300€ more than the Olina and the Shuoer Ej07m is now at 600€ (5x the price of the Olina).
Sorry, I can’t buy it atm

Wait the KL has less bass than the OG 07M 
Or did you ask them to tune it so?

No, it does. It’s stock tuning

So what I am getting is there is a large variance on iems and what they are supposed to be. They are really nice looking Grats on getting them back
Thread/Reviews/Life update
Heyo, it’s your boy nymz reporting for duty. No, I’m not dead. Not fully, at least.
So, the last week and half has been a rollercoaster. I literally had zero uptime to do anything I wanted, audio related stuff or even sleep. To help the situation at work, I decided to randomly quit. Oh and I had a wedding in the middle of it.
To top it off, I am going on long deserved and anticipated vacations in less than 12 hours. This means I had to leave stuff undone, and I don’t like it. I really don’t own any explanations, but I do really think I should give them, and why haven’t I been puting out that juicy content.
So, updates:
-
Sennheiser IE600 review had to be my no. 1 priority, as it is part of a tour. I just shipped it out and the review is 80-90% done, just needs some syntax and formating done. Should be out in a bit. I feel bad for the lack of continuous feedback instead of just first impressions → review, but sometimes life gives you lemons, so here we are making lemon tea.
-
DUNU Zen Pro review should have been out by now, but it was physically impossible. I will adress and apolozige to DUNU directly, but there was nothing I could do, and I feel like I failed them. I’m bringing the set with me, and I will make sure to make all the notes during my trip. You can expect first impressions very soon as well.
-
Hook-X was half done, but Linsoul reached out to send Tin Hifi T1 Max as well, so I decided to wait for that sweet A/B/C along with S12 and killing two birds with one stone. Turns out customs had other plans and that package has still not reach me. It also does containg TRN TA1 Max to give my impressions. These three will have to wait until I’m back.
-
DUNU Vernus I decided I won’t fully review, but I will give an extensive take. Since it was a limited run, my main goal is to find where it places, so people can look out for DUNU offers in the future. This will be with me as well on my vacay, together with its bigger brother.
-
64Audio Trío just got shipped back to its owner, my take on it should be out as well soon, but won’t be a full review due to lack of time. Love you Igor.
-
DUNU VULKAN seems delayed and at this point, I’m kinda glad. I have too much on my plate. Will update on that later.
-
Just spoke with Tgx about his models, he will be sending me something by the end of the month, as he is still waiting on materials.
-
Switch my iFi Gryphon for a desktop Class-A (Singxer SA-1) and my NX7 for a Topping L30+E30 stack. This will help me with having more comon ground and great measures (lol) for reviews.
-
I returned my Cayin RU-6 has it had a clicky sound with some IEMs on one of the sides. To pick back up later - love this dongle.
-
Hiby R5 Gen2 will be coming with me and will be my main souce. Hoping to have great feedback on it after this trip.
Love you all, be safe, listen to the music and not the gear, etc.
Best,
nymz, the sleepless

No variance, it’s resin vs metal. That’s why it graphs differently.

Wait i don´t get it, was it not the main goal of @hawaiibadboy to add more subbass to the KL compared to the EJ07m?
Or does it have less bass because of the resin shell?
2 Likes
It was, but it didnt end up like that. It is what is shown in that graph. Resin is changing upper mids/treble due to fit. I have a feeling if I measure a deeper fit, they will match better.

Maybe I picked this up wrong, but I thought the goal for the KL was to create a smoother glide across mid-bass to mids - compared to the steeper “tuck” transition of the 07m
love my resin KLs anyhoo

It was and it kinda ended up like that, the mid bass got a db boost and sub bass was subdued. Presentation is a hair warmer and sub is less overwhelming.

Different materials have different densities and other characteristics. So they change the behavior of how the sound waves bounces/reflects inside the shell, with more reflection → higher resonance → more distortion.
This is why for example with headphones (and speakers) you stuff them with damping materials inside the shell (so they have the effect like shown in the HDSS video above.).
Stock Fostex T50RP MK3
Modded with shell damping.

The ru-6 is a praised dongle in my French community. Several people have it and say it pairs very well with some sets (not that well with others). Especially, full ba sets and single DD sets tend to react well to the r2r circuitry. Hybrid are a mixed bag.
I’m glad you bought the L30+E30 stack: it is on my radar too, and getting your feedback would certainly be valuable to me.
Anyway, have a good vacation, take care of yourself and the one(s) you love

I had that stack when I was using full size cans. It is nice not sure there is not better solutions but I did like them interested in what you will think long run
