Xinhs cables arrived! Went in with 100% assuming it wouldnāt change sound because I got them for looks , durability and feel (8core silver cable btw) and there is actually to my brain a slight difference- for example in many songs the reverb of a voice in a room is audible for longer and more clearly- it feels like soundstage, clarity and detail are actually improved eventhough I assumed no difference and a/B ing as good as I can.

Strange, I havenāt had any issues with condensation buildup with my Meleā¦I hope Linsoul will respond to you
I had 1 driver dying on me one time, but I unpluged and pluged the cable again and it was all good, just strange.
Keep in mind I donāt EDC Mele. I store all my IEMs in a watch box and they just come out when needed for comparitions or tests. Also we have normal humidity here, nothing like some other countries.

Iām not interested in modding for the purpose of altering the sound, Iām just wondering if there are decent replacements available for when/if the filter issue occurs.

Received my Mele a few weeks back and really enjoyed my time listening to them. Wrote down some of my thoughts here, thought Iād share!
Tip wise, I enjoyed these with JVC Spiral Dots a lot for both its comfort and sound.

Warning/Disclaimer: I have currently no way of graphing/proving what Iām about to say, so take this with a kilobuck worth of salt. The mod is also reversible if you are carefull enough.
Yesterday night I was talking to Michael Bruce as he was trying to mod @paulwasabii 's set. One thing he claimed was that the nozle filter made a difference, and he proceded to change them to Tanya.
I instantly decided to sacrifice my set for science, as Iāve been playing with filters on other IEMs that benefict from it (DQ6 for example). For this experiment I used 3 mods to A/B/C with Spinfits CP100:
- Stock mesh;
- Tanyaās Filters;
- No filter.
To my ears, they only change change an hair, but itās enough to be audible. My conclusions are, if Iām not placeboing:
- Tanyaās filter add treble and tame mid-bass. The end result is a more clear mid-bass, more sub-bass texture, more treble overall (also a, maybe fake, more sense of air), mids get better due to the overall changes;
- Without a filter you gain treble but you lose lower frequencies. Mids are also more prominent due to the tuning change.
For me, the sweet spot is with Tanyaās filter. Itās the middle ground and just gives a slight kick on the stock tuning. Keep in mind this donāt change dastrically the IEM in any way, itās just small things that help to a better presentation, if thatās your preference. Donāt expect for it to turn into a Tribid by changing a filter.
Iām hoping we can get some graphs soon about it. Remember this is all tested by ear and it could be 100% placebo - donāt trust my brain, even I donāt do it.
Thanks for comming to my Ted Talk.

Not only the filter, but the tanya eartips make me very addicted with Mele. My head and body canāt stop shaking. Itās very fun sounding with accurate tone instrument and intimate vocal. Watching podcast video, movie, playing codm, everything i love this set 
. Tanya eartips with jelly cable is perfect combination for my taste

Can we get aftermarket Tanya tips on AliX?
You can. Tanya and O2 should be the same, Hanaās are different, but you can just buy it and test to see what you prefer

Itās hard to get. One solution, you can bought the tanchim tanya 2nd (if available at online shop in your country) or you can look for other eartips that have a bore size of 4 mm, because the width of the Mele noozle hole is also 4 mm.
