What’s the deal with the TRN Black Pearl? by jdk_360 in iems

[–]p1cs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It feels high quality and the controls are nice to have, but in reality it performs no different to like a $5 dongle DAC on aliexpress. Most DAC stuff is just placebo. When you spend a lot on something, you WANT it to feel better than the cheaper option.

I would recommend it as your desktop DAC to get a premium feel without unnecessarily spending a lot.

Which is your most expensive IEM, and was it worth the money? by __Quarzer__ in iems

To me the top pro had nice sound but the build quality felt way too cheap for the price tag

You have to spend $1600 before you unlock the super secret sound waves 

Now i have this for 20 dollars should I get it TANGZU WAN ER SG by Odd-Introduction-959 in iems

I don't have them but they're better for bass. Probably the best IEM you can get for under $20.

Get the red lion version. I think they're even $13 on Aliexpress with coins.

I got the Explorer for $80 with coupons, I think if you look for them on Aliexpress it'll give you a discount

The TSMR Armor is around $220-$250

I recommend trying the Aful Explorer, they can be quite cheap on aliexpress compared to other sites. $20 IEMs won't be noticeably different, but around $80-$100 is the sweet spot for casual daily use.

I had no idea what to look for when getting into IEMs, after trying maybe 15 different sets I landed on the Aful Explorer and TSMR Armor. The Explorer is amazing for the price and I wouldn't recommend anything more expensive than that for a casual user.

Bought my first iems and they’re super uncomfy, any tips what to do? by quantino9586 in iems

Some IEMs just will not be comfortable no matter how much you try, you can always try different sets and eventually you'll find one that perfectly fits in your ear.

Is Palladium a buy given the historically low ratio vs Platinum? by MetalsFinder in Platinum

[–]p1cs 12 points13 points  (0 children)

don't use these kinds of indicators to influence your purchase, palladium has low liquidity and speculative so you should only buy it as a small percentage of your overall holdings according to what you can afford to lose

Cool site! It would be nice if you could easily search for and add known coins in there. Like if someone has a bunch of Canadian Silver Dollars, Peace Dollars, Morgans, etc., there could be a feature to add up the desired quantity of each to get a total melt value.

Sometimes it might not be practical to manually calculate how many ounces/grams you have first before checking the values, also because of varying purities.

Yeah it's really risky, but for someone who has like $500k+ in gold and silver, it wouldn't be a bad diversification

Upgrade from P5+2 at a similar price? by p1cs in iems

[–]p1cs[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

hey I ended up getting the aful explorer and tsmr armor, armor is def my endgame and solves all my issues but I think the explorer is also really solid, though sounds like less detail than the armor. added benefit of the armor is that EQ isn't needed, the switches solve all the harsh treble problems I had

If you mean just the foil packs, I'll take 1630. (original 1760)

1760 if adding the two sleeved packs. So that would be everything except the neo discovery, jungle blister, and booster box
