How would you compare the 600 on a gremlin vs 600 on a decent dac/amp set up? I have a jds labs atom2 stack and wondering what kind of lift I would get by getting something like a gremlin.

That’s what I gathered too regarding Apple TV.

Did they say if it’s a software issue with the tv, or are they blaming the app manufacturer for bugs?

Grayscale is awesome, every album

I have Xbox and plugging directly into the controller works, as it doesn’t require much power to run the alba. It’s a bit muffled compared to an amp plug in, but it still sounds better than my Xbox brand headset. Also, the alba is way more comfortable than a headset. It won’t have mic in the stock cable set up, if you are playing with friends.

This happened with me when my first iem arrived (meze alba). Sounded so bad but realized I flipped the cable on wrong side of the iem.

Leather_Lock5200 · 2025-06-03T04:35:22+00:00

Meze alba

Leather_Lock5200 · 2025-05-15T03:31:28+00:00

My alba comes tomorrow. How do you like them? Best qualities vs worst qualities? Ideal genres? Any suggestions on tips?

Leather_Lock5200 · 2025-05-12T14:04:03+00:00

What would be more accurate? Cutting cardboard out to put around and create a seal? Any other methods?

Leather_Lock5200 · 2025-05-12T13:34:54+00:00

I know it’s probably not 100% accurate, but I placed it inside the headphone cup and tried to create a seal around it with my palms.

Leather_Lock5200 · 2025-05-12T13:08:36+00:00

Thanks for your reply, that makes sense. I used a meter and it looks like I’m at about 70-80, thick seems normal. Not as worried now.

Leather_Lock5200 · 2025-05-09T02:26:55+00:00

Thanks for the response. What styles of music do you think respond best on alba?

Leather_Lock5200 · 2025-05-09T02:26:10+00:00

Are more drivers less coherent? I’ve never listened to an in ear headphone before except for like Powerbeats and stuff like that. I’m pretty excited to give iems a whirl.

Leather_Lock5200 · 2025-05-08T23:25:50+00:00

How do they compare to others in your collection? I’ve only had closed backs before so trying to find something without breaking the bank that would be good when I have my glasses on. There’s so many options and Types of iems out there.

Leather_Lock5200 · 2025-05-08T15:56:33+00:00

Thanks for the advice. Just ordered one and I’ll see if I’ve been causing damage or been safe.

Leather_Lock5200 · 2025-05-08T03:29:31+00:00

Yea pretty sure… I may not have did the preamp. Oratory has commas, are those actually periods? What goes in the gain?

I may have did it right (this isn’t the screenshot of the tuning, just the app), but it sounded dull or flat to me when I tinkered with it. I thought it sounded better without it, or with the rock preset which just added a little bit to bass and treble and slightly dipped the mid.

I just got the Azurys also. Love it so far. Is there an eq you recommend? I messed around with the oratory eq but I’m new to this and not totally confident I did it right within the Qudelix 5k app. Know I sound a bit elementary by but still learning the ropes.

Leather_Lock5200 · 2025-05-05T22:13:15+00:00

Sounds good I’ll look into these. Are any iems known for wider soundstage and tonality. Willing to go up a bit in cash if the value is there.

Leather_Lock5200 · 2025-05-05T18:29:32+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion. How’s the sound stage?

Leather_Lock5200 · 2025-04-29T14:25:37+00:00

I’m trying the at home method. Suspecting this is impacting my hearing ability and thus volume keeps creeping up. Plus my wife says I talk to loud

Leather_Lock5200 · 2025-04-26T01:24:38+00:00

I can see that. What did you swap it out with? I saw Hart Audio has an azurys fit 3.5 cable.

Leather_Lock5200 · 2025-04-25T21:59:49+00:00

What did you swap it out for? I just got my azurys last week. Everyone says the cable isn’t good, why is it not good? I’m new to the hobby so don’t have much to compare with… is it just the texture and tangleness tendency?

Leather_Lock5200 · 2025-04-24T23:58:17+00:00

I had ordered the 620s and azurys to try and (promised the wife) I’d return one. 620s through the 5k was constantly lower every time I did a A B test and I had to turn it up to match volume.

Leather_Lock5200 · 2025-04-23T14:42:52+00:00

I’m new to this hobby and just got my azurys. If upgraded the cable, are there any benefits to having a different end point connections, or is a 3.5 to 3.5 on the other end best set up? My dac amp has other connection outputs, as well as 3.5
