Yessir. His library is mostly jpop if that helps.
It makes sense, U shapes play that greatly.
2k is obviously u12t and he should aim for that. Vocals are closer to neutral but its so good he won’t complain.
After doing some tests, i have to throw in Oracle2, it’s a beast. RSV also fits the bill. Monarch2 might fit as well but I havent demoed.
Just tell him U12T 
you’ve heard it, u know what’s up.
Oh and drop the Serratus bomb alongside

He wants REALLY forward vocals and rumbly sub-bass, so U12T might not fit the bill even though it’s a beast in its own regards. Currently debating between the Oracle2 and 07M right now. Which one to you has more sub-bass and forward vocals?
I also loaned him my rikubuds to try, and unfortunately his ears also do not fit earbuds like mine 
He also wants good isolation so there’s that.
Drop me a sample track of his fav kpop song

That HA400 has saved me lots of times - a great little piece and super sturdy perfect for sharing music / patent expired so you can pick up Chinese copy versions even cheaper, playing Behringer - the masters of the patent copy - at their own game.
But for testing I ended up using a 4 way splitter from eSynic as it has passive circuitry so no noise bleed like the Behringer, it’s a little cheaper, frees up a socket and as I generally test alone I don’t need the extra amplification just a passive switch.

But I cant volume match with that 
The magic trick is not to split the sound, is to pre-fire volume matching and just change between sets and songs

I literally have no use for a device like this as I’m not a reviewer and never will be, but I want one for some reason.

I have been looking for a passive 4 with individual volume outs for ages but sadly the options are limited to the excellent but over priced Simon Systems CB-4.

Have been curious to try one of these - but hard to find in Europe.

May DIY it - just need to remember to turn the amp down before I remove it and blow up my ears
So I’m hoping this isn’t too dumb a question, but does anyone know if it is easy (or just possible) to trim/remove resin off an iem? I’m wanting to get rid of hot spots that I get from my Mangird Tea and I’ve been wondering about that for a while now.
You should be fine sanding it down to your desired shape with Dremel or another micro motor, then polishing it with fine sand paper. Resins are not thermoplastics, so they won’t melt, but you may burn them or decompose while grinding too long without a break, so be careful about that.
Another thing is that resins are very hard, but they are fragile, do avoid leaving sharp corners as they may snap off.
One last thing is that you would leave quite unesthetic surface, that depending on your craftsmanship level would be more or less rough, but definitely rougher than original. That may trigger some irritation in your ear on contact. It would be ideal to coat the area afterwards with skin safe acrylic coating to make it smooth.

@nymz I just noted that you are the reviewer with the tuning preference next to mine.
Could you help me with next iem? Idk the best value. Until now im between:
→ yanyin moonlight
→ Dunu SA6
→ Softears RSV
→ ???
After some good (LZ A7 Monitor-Gold / HBB KAI / Aria) and bads (Kinera Norn / Fiio FH3) purchases, now i think i know my tunning preference. i’m brazilian and my library is acoustic/ Vocals.
Thank you!!

That HA400 is indeed really affordable

Since it got some attention, I have do a obvious disclaimer: the input and outputs are all 6.35mm, so adapters are needed.
Can you give me more information, like your budget, current iems etc? You can PM if u prefer and you can speak in portuguese if that makes it easier for you

I have a couple of this HA400 laying around (and a couple of other similar items).
Just so you are aware, the output impedance is fairly high on them (around 50ohms if I remember correctly) and the frequency response is not flat, so it will change the response of IEMs.
I use it for burn in rig duties.

I had the 4 way done
Time to redo i guess
While I am not someone who gives a lot about dacs and amps and how they differ in sound (barely noticed a difference between a solid state amp to a MT-602 hybrid and MT-602 to a TA-26 OTL) I find a 4 way amp for 30 bucks (less than 10 bucks per “amp”) to review sensitivity IEM’s 10 times its price a little strange. Especially when I look up the HA400 and see it has an output impedance of 80 Ohm which might influence the bass response of some dynamic drivers.
On the other side you are doing reviews for such a long time that you would notice if the 4 way amp changes sound too much.
Edit:
Because we all like squiggly lines so much. Seems like the HA400 adds a touch of warmth and reduces the treble.
