Hydrophobic mesh?
Not sure if it exists, maybe there’s something out there, but then again, your filter value matters for tuning, no point returning with a different mesh. So this build is over?
You added more venting and more low-end from the last time we spoke right?
What’s the new GD on this beast?
Thats it man! No more info, other than maybe some sound impressions. I need to take a small breather, work any aesthetics, and Need to order boxes, cables, and tips which will increase the cost about $100.
If you’re going to do a round of demos I’ll gladly throw my hat into the ring.
Will you include an option for a cable to not be included?
Yeah, I suppose. Sorry, no demos. I don’t have even close to enough drivers to do that… but im going to work on getting more.
Heard you were walled off or something like that from getting more of those drivers, how many sets can you potentially put out until you get more?
Fuck. Yes. This means it’s nearly go time. Love it. Good luck, brother!
I remember you mentioning the option of getting just the IEMs themselves a while back. Would definitely be a nice option to have. Either way, stoked the Anomaly is hitting the final stretch before releasing ![]()
Feels like it’s been final stretch for a while ![]()
But hey, we know Mike will make it all worth it ![]()
I will drop some of my impressions as I hear them.
“think the thing that I feel like most chifi adjacent people will hear this and be like SO MUCH MIDS ARRRRG”
“I do actually think when you hear this iem you will be like NAAAH, there are more hidden drivers”
“i was considering lieing about it until someone actually opened the shell
probably backfire”
“I realized at some point the front damper → ear drum causes occlusion body noises, since its a sealed environment, that fucking ruins any mental pyschoacoustic fakery”
This should be on a t-shirt, had to laugh so hard.
Psycoacoustic fuckery ™
“I tried, I did! Fucking needs more volume than I wanted. Oh well, im 50 and ill be deaf/dead anyway”
“its not the entire best at anything I can decern, but it does literally everything, and it does it ‘good’ to ‘extremely incredible’.
These ramblings remind me of Bukowski’s poems.
“you are dealing with essentially pressure waves of different frequencies, in a closed acoustic tube, they bounce back and forth”
“the way you fix this is by not allowing that acoustic effect to exist in the first place”
“the shell optimizes, and depressurizes the acoustics in a very controlled manner”
“the material the shell is made of is makes no difference unless it is compliant in some way. The resin I use is not.”
“some tunings are hype, good for a few hours at most. anomaly is not like that, for better or worse i suppose, but I would say its good for a hype sesh if you feed some volume’
Should this make as nervous for my hearing as an EJ07 + long listening session? ![]()
Am I crazy for reading this as if it’s a bukowski passage? It makes it really fun to read. Need more of these in the review space imo.
Just had to think of scotch tasting notes. I once read a random dram being described as ‘dewdrops in a meadow on a misty morning’. Which made me think: if you actually know what that tastes like, you’ve got some serious issues ![]()
What do people think of the idea of an ‘open baffle’ IEM anyways?
