How’s the setup?
My preference was for MONITOR/SILVER. I usually listen a lot of acoustic genres like SERTANEJO, SAMBA and MPB.
BTR 5 - 2.5mm / Low Gain
Tip - Fiio’s Bass tips (I tried Azla’s, JVC’s, Spinfit’s and Sony’s tips)
Thanks, but I was actually asking how do you like the setup so far (iems + btr5)?
LOL this got me. Thanks for your impressions as well!

You know my default cable recs I guess.

Ohh yes!
I need 2-3 cables due to latest buys, so I could be tempted lol 
Well, sounds like you could get one of the recs each lol. Adds up to 3 cables, perfect.

You have 3 rec cables?
Then I missed out on 2 of them.
Can you list them, then I also have the other 2
Thx
Faaeal litz copper

I like the Faaeal and the tri the most. But the Tri is basically just a reskin of the faaeal and also more expensive.
Runners up are: Nicehck LitzPS and the Tri Limpid, they arent my default recs because both of them measure much higher than the other 3 (at 1 ohm, both of them are the same cable, just different plugs/connectors/dividers).
Thanks, I have dived into the Hakuzen post re cables. So I better find out what to get 
That thread is pretty outdated now unfortunately. The 3 default cables are pretty much dominating the budget cable world. Although if you wanna spend over 100 usd on cables, I recommend EA cables. (like cable 175 on hakuzens list).

oof. Well, I dont recommend spending that much on cables when great budget alternatives are available.
Better to use that saved cash on the iem or a better source.

Also, an update on whats going on. I should get the Tansio Mirai TSMR 4-pro early next week, Audiosense T180/DT100 are probably shipped with snails and I have a Dunu Zen review unit on the way as well. Going to be fun next month.

Really well made list thank you, checking it out now. Fiio FH3 is my favorite IEM I tried so far and I see you are a fan too, what would be a good “partner” to this IEM to handle different types of music? The yin to the yang if you will? Budget could possible go to ~500$ mark.
I pulled the trigger on Blessing 2 Dusk a few days ago and they are on the way now, not sure if I will end up liking them and keeping yet as I will only be buying one new earphone.
hmmm, so if we classify the FH3 as the fun iem, you might want a more neutral and natural iem. in which case I will recommend the Tanchjim Oxygen to you.
Thanks for the rec! I’ll check out your review on those. Do you think you will plan to try the Blessing 2 Dusk in the future?
I want to make sure I’m spending my $300 on a good option at the moment and not just getting too much into the hype.
