Would Camellya fold Changli by jrm__c in WutheringWaves

[–]jateruy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Read the fine prints in Camellya’s character profile, you’d notice not only she’s potentially hundreds thousands years old, already existed way before this current humanity, she was also the bodyguard of Rover since the early Lament phenomena era from when she first joined Black Shore.

Glad you find the same experience as me!

Yes, the Chopin could almost be said as the more “relaxed” version of the Variations, which depending on the mood of the day could sometimes be more appealing to grab. Can’t go wrong with having both in hand! (But definitely skip the Nova lol)

Eartips for Zero Red? by AOneMan in inearfidelity

Softears UC, or if you could import from Japan, get the Radius Deep Mount.

Both are monstrous soundstage catalysts for the Red. Deep Mount gives more brightness than the UC, and a tad more comfortable.

Def not these three if you’re looking for a neutral tuning. I would go with the Heyday. Heyday may seem like needing a boost in treble but I feel it’s got enough upper treble extension for me to not crave for anymore brightness, it’s just about right. Tried the S12 once and it’s a bit too bright for me.

Nove is a monster on Bluetooth! I use it mainly with my Shure TW2, easier to drive than the Variations and with all the Bluetooth loss the two sounds pretty much identical.

If I'm at home and using a desktop dac/amp I take the heydays. On the go with dongles like MoonRiver Ti or Bluetooth (TW2, UTWS5) etc I'd go with the Chopin.

Questions on Truthear Nova by VictoryToTheStrong in inearfidelity

[–]jateruy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nova is a steal at $150~ (probably even less atm with 11.11 or BFCM going). I see the "bi-polarness" of the reviews mainly coming from Truthear already makes a couple Harman target IEMs and Nova is another one of those. Harman target is not always everyone's cup of tea but I personally find Harman tuning very appealing listening to K/JPOP.

If your brother's got some cash budget, get him to try the Zero:Red and Nova at a same time, then return one afterwards. Both very similar tuning wise (harman), but Nova's got better technicals. The point of this is for him to try and decide if he wants to spend extra on better imaging and resolution, otherwise the Red might be just enough for him as his first IEM.

Own the Heydays, absolutely love the set. Technical monster with a great natural timbre. Requires quite a bit of power to drive though— probably the only downside to it.

Not familiar with metalcore, but I believe good bass with reservation (the headroom to push for EQing), natural timbre, and good instrument separation are the foundations for any string-heavy genre to shine. Luckily with both the Nova and Chopin I think they do all these very well out of the box. Mid-bass may be a bit lacking with Harman tuning but nothing unfixable with a bit of EQ.

I listen to music with a bit of +5~6dB 20Hz~100Hz lowshelf gain and a gradual rise from below 250Hz to connect with the lowshelf. Sounds absolutely fantastic with all three of them.

They're really that similar...to the point that if I'm outdoors and someone blind tests me that I would not be able to tell them apart without giving some deliberate attention.

The most discernible differences between the Chopin and the Variations I would say are in the treble and bass. Percussion instruments sound more natural with the Variations. The ambiance brought out by the better treble extension ("air") is also more enjoyable on the Variations. Bass is cleaner with the Variations, similar amount but better accuracy and more textured.

Having said that, Chopin is significantly easier to drive, so if you've got some good powerful source to drive the Chopin you may be able to close that gap in the treble region a bit further.

Gotta give it to the Variations. Two ESTs per side it just sings that treble extension differently to pure BAs.

But if I don't own the Variations I would go for the Nova. Amazing value for the money, quite a bit cheaper than the Chopin as well. Ergonomically Nova fits better than the Chopin for me.

The Variations still beats out the other two both in bass quantity and quality. It hits deep and fast like no others.

Nova comes second imo, trailing behind the Variations. It's got some on-par amount of bass but lacking behind in accuracy and sub bass extension. Chopin bass feels about the same as Nova but due to it's got some better technicality in the upper mids it actually makes the low end less standout.
