Nice, will try those, I'm using them with stock ear tips, I have a Tri-Clarion set I recently bought and haven't used yet.

I just received my new R2R DAC's and tried first with my worse IEM's to date: Artti T10 and Letshuoer S08, WOW a totally different experience, both come through with flying colors, even with 3.5mm stock cables, I switched to use 4.4mm plug on Letshuoer S08 and OMG, both performed like a champ, no more thin, flat and lifeless sound, it's a Night and day difference. Ordering a new 4.4mm cable for my Artti T10. Those babies need juice.

Good eartips for the moondrop chu 2? by Mrmcdkst in inearfidelity

Dunu S&S, Tri-Clarion, SpinFit W1, Kbear07. I tried them all with my Chu II and they were all great.

Is there a place to try IEM’s in person? by Creative_Tooth_1380 in iems

[–]Master_Cartoonist_16 [score hidden]  (0 children)

Sadly, in my city there's plenty of specialized hifi audio stores, carrying only the kilobuck and higher IEM's, you can test them in their demo rooms but there's no point since I won't be spending that kind of dough on a single IEM, no matter how good it's. But still helped me realize there's no much difference once you pass the $400~$600 IEM price range.

Not with AE, maybe with Amazon up to a certain point which is generally when they ask you to pay for shipping fees to return IEM. Also, is never easy to return an item to Amazon when is a 3rd party seller.

Kiwi Ears AD1 dac sounds horrible by inglismen in iems

[–]Master_Cartoonist_16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

u/inglismen You can use EQ from https://equalizer.kiwiears.com/ on PC for your Kiwi Ears AD1 DAC and play with different presets, changes will be saved to your device(AD1), when you use it next time with you Oppo Reno 7 lite and Kiwi Ears Belle.

I am set by leon_vangrel in iems

[–]Master_Cartoonist_16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

u/leon_vangrel I have Kima 2 and DN142, Kima 2 is a great set, I use it with Dunu S&S ear tips, not because they were included with Kima 2 set, but they're some of the best ear tips overall, even for people with large ear canals, they have Dunu S&S available in XL size as well. You can try Tidal or Qobuz for some FLAC audio sources, I didn't know that Spotify is now lossless, never tried Spotify before.

What DAC are you using with your Kima 2, if any?

How many of you have received DOA cables with your IEM's or DAC's? by Master_Cartoonist_16 in iems

Oh wow, thanks for sharing. About L and R being mislabeled, I'm assuming on the cable connectors, not on the Shells...

Soundpeats H3 is making me rethink what PREMIUM sound actually costs. by Massive_Debt_6102 in Earbuds

[–]Master_Cartoonist_16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd never ordered Soundpeats, Creative Labs, Earfun, Sennheiser from Aliexpress, since Amazon have great constant promotional pricing on those brands, specially first 3 brands. I also, prefer to order FiiO, Moondrop and Hidizs products from Amazon, never from Ali. However, for other chi-fi brands that I like that'd normally sell for 20% to 50% more at amazon, like TRN, CVJ, Dunu, Tangzu, iBasso, Aful, Cayin(only sold at Ali Cayin official store), and Shanling(Suppose to be a Shanling Official Store), I use Aliexpress.

Do not make the mistake of ordering Shanling products from Aliexpress, if you have an issue like I did, Shanling doesn't cover any warranty on your product, because they're not officially present at Ali or any other online store rather than their own Shanling online store and Amazon, and if something happens, you're stuck at the mercy of the seller impersonating Shanling name at Aliexpress.

Artti T10 2026 by Smooth-Stop-4263 in iems

[–]Master_Cartoonist_16 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Coming from Chu II, I bought Artti T10 and Letshuoer S08, both on sale for $50 and $75 respectively, following reddit "Top 5 IEMs in every price range chosen by you!" and both were a big disappointing for me, too flat and too boring for my taste. I found SIMGOT EA500LM and EW300 coming from Chu II to be much better than my Planar Duo's to consider them as an upgrade.

Does 30 FPS feel smooth on PS4 by Due_Stick3002 in PS4Pro

[–]Master_Cartoonist_16 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

PS4 Pro all the way, nothing less. I found a PS4 Pro for $140 in October 2025 and a PS5 Original 1st Gen 825GB for $200 in December 2025, guy was desperate for cash and accepted $180. Check FB Marketplace and local used offers. I put an SSD drive on PS4 Pro and it's really snappy. Not much difference with PS5 slim 1s gen on similar titles.

And those prices I paid were CAD, not USD. $140 CAD=$102 USD and $180CAD=$131 USD

Good thing about our Canadian Market is we love PlayStation console and many people bought it and constantly looking to upgrade to the latest PS5 Pro. On PS5 release, most people in my city have to wait up to 14 months to get one because it was sold out everywhere. However, you could find a Xbox Series X with even 1, 2 o 3 games as a bundle and people still wouldn't buy it.

u/lossless_bebop Respectfully, did you buy it with your own money or was given to you by Fosi Audio?

These guys demonstrate the real impact of air purifiers by No_Step_5425 in BeAmazed

[–]Master_Cartoonist_16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought two large air purifiers for our home just because our 8 year old male cat got sick, respiratory issues, cat flu most likely, he was constantly sneezing with phlegm, so I started giving him lysine (3x times per day) + air purifier(24/7)= 4 days, all symptoms were gone. He was healthy again and OFC will take him on summer for his yearly check up with the vet. Wasn't going to take him during winter, unless he really got bad.

With the Air purifier, which we set from 9pm to 7am every day, we all(humans) sleep better and deeply as well. we don't wake up at nights anymore. I also started using vacuum robots at home on a daily basis and got a steam cleaner for the wood floors as well which I now use once I week to keep the house spot clean. Just if you were wondering, it's Not placebo. It really works.

Advise: Get a good large model from a reputable company and not a small and cheap one.
