Oopsā¦ Okay always extra is good
Ohh I see you already made first impressions on themā¦ Well doneš¤
Why this set didnāt get hyped? Really I am still questioning EJ07M is a unique I am being honestā¦
Tho as what I mentioned before didnāt spend alot of time with themā¦ But they make you say Wow when u listen to them < at least that me first time I listened to them
MoonDrop Variations got hyped
Brand and marketing matters a lot. Thieaudio took all the spotlights and then Variations entered the market with a cheaper monarch and a fanbase.
All tribids are different. Monarch and Variations appeal to a lot of people and I understand why. They are detail monsters.
Yes just different silicone, hospital grade which is supposed to cut down on infection.
So iāve spent 2 hours tip rolling. I find longer tips to work better with 07m. My preference is based on vocal presentation and bass texture, and trying to dimishing treble peaks. I also tried to keep or expand soundstage and imaging, since itās one of Mās strong points.
My final picks are:
- Spinfit CP145 - Found them the best overall due to vocal presentation, bass texture and stage. Wouldnāt mind an hair less treble.
- Comply T-500 Isolation Foams - Best stage, good bass slam, best slam, treble very close to CP145. The most 3D/Immersive you can find here. But they are foams.
Honorable mentions:
- Transparent white with black stem stock tips - Very close to SF, an hair less of vocal presentation and stage, but might be better for people that prefer rigid stems due to their ear canal;
- Black Stock Tips - Wider bore than transpararent stock, more treble focused. Slight more stage, less vocal presentation and bass texture.
- E-Pro Horn EP00 (long ones, not EP01) - This are a close second for now. Tame treble peaks very well, but have a worse vocal presentation. Will have to come back to these 1 more time in the future.
They are one of the best fits with spinfit Iāve seen. You can abuse them.
Also this change with sources. I find more clinical with stage to shine.
Yup, desktop A90 with D90 dac at the momentā¦
Portable = XD05 Bal, W2 (I didnāt use it that much but u know better than me how great this dangle) , sometimes the Hip Dac
No hish on 05 Bal?
Damn, A90+D90 is out of my league for nowā¦ But I might need a new AMP, even if I use W2 as DAC
There is no hiss( on low gain), sometimes can pickup noise it is kinda weird tbh, also there is kinda click sound when you plug the headphones jack, and switching between modes ( USB, Bluetooth ā¦etc)
Yeah u are right it is expensive, but really itās worth the moneyā¦ U can go with the A50s is the little brotherā¦ If want something really clean and
Or this one ( I think this one is really good, and better compare to XD05 Bal)
Jesus you guys are on another level in terms of DAC/AMP, the best I have is a BTR5 and even so is very rare for me to pass 1/3 of the volume on the balanced connection.
Do you think that a better quality DAC/AMP like the XD05 or a desktop grade DAC/AMP (Like Topping A50) makes a big diference for IEMs? ItĀ“s not too overkill?
By the wayā¦ the EJ07M is hard to drive?
Well, I wouldnāt mind it until you reach your end-game or close to that. Then, yes
Well, as hard as most other tribids like Variations, but they scale. Less than Clair.
It is enoughā¦ Get also Apple dangle with itā¦ And you are good to goā¦
I have the stack, cuz I use headphones and they require lots of power,
I also have the A90 cuz it is really neutral without coloration, so it is really good for testing my headphones, and IEMs as wellā¦ it is really sterile and clean soundā¦ Some might find it boringā¦
ā¦
Uhhhmm this depends on the listener, but yeah I do believe that u will notice differences going up to a better source like what you mentionedā¦
EJ07Mā¦ No it is not hard to driveā¦
Yes, BTR5 is more than fine. Spend money on IEMs
I do agree on thisā¦
To me:
