53A-Settle The Kettle

today i collected back my customs from RMA. the shell looks the same and i have no idea how they opened it up to glue back the driver that came off and big shoutout to Teng who was the one who help to follow up my case cuz due to some miscommunication with Aron, there was quite a bit of delay in processing the repair. very glad that it could be repaired and best of all it was covered under warranty and i did not have to pay anything at all, very glad to see that UM help clean my shells and also included a nice little pouch for me. thanks! i'm very happy now. Teng you not around today and i shall drop by to thank you personally another day!

Just got a PM reply from Aron, it is safe to change the filters myself. Shall reply to my PM i got here. I wanted to go down to Jaben to compare but been busy and no time to go down. Anyway based on my very much sketchy sonic memory, the bass really very hard to tell the difference due to a few reasons. 1. d-jays is very very bass light to begin with. 2. I dont really listen to bassy songs. Treble wise. Sorry, I dun have a keen sense of hearing for treble. I can only tell if it is piercingly sharp/bright and thankfully after reshelling didnt encounter this. Mids. Maybe not as forward agressive as before, a bit more mellow? Really not very sure. Ok i shall talk about what i somewhat sure about after the reshelling. Slightly more detailed and clarity, slightly more airier for me. Also lower listening volume. Finally using the reshell d-jays I could hear a bigger difference between the h/o of the sansa clip vs rockbox 5.5g ipod. 256kps VBR, Losseless ALAC and downloaded tracks the difference in sound quality are now slightly more easier to tell. Need to buy more CDs As always with customs and reviews. YMMV Cheers.

I was thinking more on the es2 cable.

My Mini Review-Reshelled D-Jays (Pictures to be added if I have the time) It began from a dream Sometime in January, I spoke to uberburger101 about my dream that someday I can make my d-jays into a customs. Little did I know that it would become a reality so soon. @uberburger101, someday dynamic drivers can also be reshell. Keep the dream alive… Why I finally pulled the trigger. It was quite funny how things work out actually, the timing was right as my home rig was finally settled down, and my d-jays started giving me problems, I checked with Jaben and RMA would take minimum of 2 months. So praying that my driver is working properly, I was quite sure it was due to the cable connection as similar thing happened to my d-jays extension cable. What I learnt during the time when I had no iem. During the time I sent my d-jays iem for reshelling, I had no other spare iem to use and I dug out a sanyo earbud from home to use. The sound was not so bad when I use with my sansa clip(with the ipod was unbearable). Anyway, I realize the importance of isolation was for me, every morning train ride to work was a torture, I could hear all the freaking noises around me. First impressions I must admit got buyer remorse when Teng tried to put in the customs into my ears for the first time. Quite tight and maybe is because I was used to listening to the earbuds, I felt the reshelled djays lack that airy and clarity as compared to before. After burning for a week(at nights when I sleeping). Much more clarity and the customs definitely has more details than before reshelling based on my sonic memory. Fit My first pair of customs so there is nothing for me to compare against. The fitting was quite good by my standards. Isolation With no music playing and the customs in my ears, I could hear and converse to Teng at the shop but once I started playing music cannot hear any outside noises. I put the test on my daily train rides and I am very happy with the isolation, only when in between songs change can hear ambient noises that were acceptable to me. My sansa clip does not have a numerical volume indicator but the volume I use to listen in my office(using d-jays iem) is now the volume I listening to on train rides. When I reach office, I will turn down the volume some more. Comfort At different times of the day got different level of comfort for me. Morning it is a bit tighter than the rest of the day. I preferred the comfort of the xs tips of my d-jays but I lost quite a bit of isolation using the xs tips. The trade off in comfort for the added isolation was worth it based on my standards. I can feel my customs in my ears but they do not really irritate/distract me from the music. Build Quality The whole package What surprise me was that UM returned my d-jays back to me including the tips. I am quite amazed at their skill of how they extract the drivers. Really impressive when I look at my d-jays that they sent back and could not figure out how they managed to do it. The frequency response graph was a nice touch but I could interpret so quite useless for me. The carry case was small and compact, I was expecting like those westone-like case but I guess some people might buy a proper case to store their customs. I’m still quite happy with the pouch that UM gave, cause it can easily fit in my pocket. The cleaning tool that came I think is quite standard stuff, nothing much to talk about. Overall Comments One thing interesting to point out is that UM put the filters of the d-jays into the customs(I’m not sure if it removable/replacement or can just use without the filters) So for Jays owners planning to reshell, my advice is to change your filters before sending the iem over.

Budget? I recommend vintage Sony. Sony CDP-557ED http://www.thevintageknob.org/SONY/sonyes/.../CDP557ESD.html Too bad the OTHER forum dun have this emoticon. Would come in real handy when replying. Wait got any spies over here?

Just came back from Stereo. First batch all very fast collected. Didnt saw the clear customs in time. By the time i collected mine, only left sHaRkKaE haven collect. Anyway must applaud the turnaround time for reshelling. I sent my impressions to Stereo on 23 May and the first batch was shipped out on 25 May, expected time was 3-4weeks from 25 May but they arrived on 10 Jun. What a nice surprise when i received the call from Aron. Pictures, review/impression to come next week. Wanna spend some time getting to know my new toy first.

1. to take a look at the classifieds there and see got what good bargains/to sell stuff. 2. for entertainment purpose. a lot of posts to marvel at. 3. to see cases of the blind leading the blind. good enough reasons? I'm very glad you finally reach your current setup and enjoying it very much but I do miss the days when i can chat with you on msn at nights and you will shoot me all your funny ideas for your rig. Joining the CDP club already ah.
