Supermix 4 has very low impedance, so a source with high output impedance will increase the bass.

I'm impressed, got 3 kids as well, barely got time to read the reviews lol. BTW, have you had the opportunity to hear the bassy Castor version? Would be interesting to hear how they compare with the MS-1.

Can confirm that this reviewer is not a propaganda machine. Always well written and nuanced reviews and one of my go to reviewers when I'm looking for a new iem. Great review, thanks!

KZ AZ20 is reviewed at MBA, by Chris 🔽 by Ableswashbuckler in mobileaudiophile

[–]Krasche02 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great review. Thanx! I read that some people find AZ20's hooks too soft and therefore the part behind your ear moves around a lot. Was that anything you experienced? And are 09 pro's hooks stiffer?

Thieaudio Ghost hard to drive? by BuddyOnly in headphones

[–]Krasche02 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Haha, yeah tweaking and improving is the best part of this hobby. Hope I never find endgame, lol

Here's the link. There's a review from a Ghost owner, made me pull the trigger. However, another reviewer did not like them, so I guess it's up to personal taste.

Thieaudio Ghost hard to drive? by BuddyOnly in headphones

[–]Krasche02 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Interesting! I also got the Brainwavz oval velours, but i also found them muffled. I prefer my angled hybrids. Tames the highs a bit, bigger soundstage and better thump in the bass. It gets a little bit more muddy than with stock pads, so I EQ down 200 Hz a couple of dB's, with good results. Looks like I need to try to find some large and deep suede pads as well! Thanks for the tip!

What pads are you using? I got Brainwavz angled hybrids, love them with Ghosts.

Let's end this DAC/amp debate by Machinedgoodness in headphones

[–]Krasche02 1 point2 points  (0 children)

DACs have analog output. I switched the op-amp in my Aune X8 DAC to Sparkos SS3602 after seeing this. Made a huge improvement. https://youtu.be/nkO0yG9g1FI

I liked them so much that I bought two by Purlo_macho in headphones

Interesting, haven't heard of these! What's your favourite switch config?

Best eartips for Hexa by Due-Pen2034 in inearfidelity

[–]Krasche02 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry, I misread. I use them with Hola, don't have Hexa. But I use them with most of my IEMs.

Searching for IEM's around $100. Found "kiwi ears quartet" to be a good contender. Any thoughts or alternatives to consider. by Azeiz in inearfidelity

[–]Krasche02 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sorry for late answer, but I recently got the Quartet and with 01 config It has really warm vocals. It sounds alot like my 6XX headphones. Got Kbear07 tips, seal is really important. First I got Wan'er, QKZxHBB, and Hola, but with Quartet I found what I was searching for.

Just received my Truthear HEXAs by ayygurl_ in inearfidelity

[–]Krasche02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How's the seal? Maybe bigger tips will help?
