You simply inverted the Small size Starline tips and they fit ok? I have a few pairs of these at the house and might give this a try later. Thanks for the idea!
Also, I lhave gone back to the stock configuration w/o any mods. I figured that I already have bassy IEMs and keeping the Olina stock helps to differentiate what makes it special in my collection.

And itâs not that it really worked, I did it with the size S, and I was using the Spinfit CP 145, but now itâs so good that I removed the mod from the double filter. Congratulations for the valuable tip friend.

Dual Damper Mod + CP100 is my go-to combo, in case you feel like tinkering with your set in the future.

I have made it through my initial listening list ( about 3.5 hours of mostly classic rock ) on the Olina, and I will say that my impression reminds a lot of my initial take on the S12. It is technically impressive, a bit brighter than I usually reach for, but makes music that I like sound really amazing.
I really like the height, width, and the imaging in that space. While I have always loved the timber of planar IEMs like Timeless and S12, they tend to have flatter imaging and stage to them by comparison. Some people really hear this, others donât, I think I am somewhere in the middle.
This is the best single DD in my collection, and I have a few at this point ( Olina, Mele, T3+, CRA, SSP, BL-03, Aria ). If it were to knock anything out of my collection, it would probably be the T3+, which would have killed the Aria, if the connector hadnât shorted out already. I donât think it was until I put that list together that I realized how much I really liked single DD sets, since either the SSP or CRA is the bad one on that list. That means my current ranking for DD sets is Olina then Mele, which is surprising because based on my signature preference it should be the other way around, I like bass more than that.
I did most of this with either Final E or CP100+ tips, and did try the stock narrow bore tips, but I was between the sizes on them.
I will probably run a small bass shelf on them, depending on the type of music I am listening to. I do this on the S12, and it gives them not only some bass, but a bit of slam that planar IEMs are usually lacking. That said, I am keeping an eye on that Dual Damper Mod, and I may try that out later this week, just to see how people are feeling about it.

I find it impressive to read you, it is as if I had written it, if I knew enough English to express myself, of course, 
. I received today the s12, got the t3+ and Cra⊠we think exactly the same, I have Olina with the double mesh and I think I like it better, because of that excessive sharpness on some tracksâŠ

Dire Straights Private investigations with stock no extra filters using CP100 tips is musical nirvana. When those crashing guitars chords come in⊠Boom perfection. So happy huge thanks to @hawaiibadboy for making my year you are the dude!
Yeap, fitted me perfectly, but maybe not as deep as a CP100.

I am quite relieved to report my order has officially shipped! My wife was asking after her new IEMs yesterday, and I had to try and mollify her with explanations of massive hype and order volume. Truth be told I was getting worried, but am now just kinda antsy - theyâre not even mine and Iâm excited for them to get in!
Finally arrivedâŠ
Card #494, no golden, no lyricsâŠ
But the iems are excellently done. Bass was not an issue on Q5k or with FiiO btr5⊠Itâs not âFU Bassâ but it couldnât be to maintain tuning (understandably). EQ (that blasphemous word) may be helpful for a low range BUMP.
BZ HBB-BGGAR⊠Well Done.

On the Linsoul counter after only a few minutes of the Olina being listed ahead of schedule, I was something like the 21st buyer or earlier⊠so not sure about the #467, but glad I was recognized as within the first 500 to get a card which is all that mattered. Blank, silver ink.
Very very limited listening tonight, so no comments for now.

Received my set today. This is my 1st IEM set ever! Been listening for an hour or so, playing music on my LG G8 phone. Really impressed with the quality so far.
Female vocals are a pure bliss:

Joining the club, mele treble leaves me wanting an upgrade, EJ07m kinda lava is just too $$$, was hoping 300 Oracle/mk2 endgame but at 600, is cheaper but still too $$$, now the waiting begins (mele takes a month, hopefully Olina a lot faster)

I am using the turbo tips that are wide bore. The fit is really good. The sound is amazing so far. Still got to put it through my library. I also slapped on a 16 core TRN cable. I do not believe that cables change sound signature, I just like a heavier weight cable that is less tangle prone.
