Sir, could you please kindly reply me via e-mail, or leave me your no.? I mentioned that I am only free on weekends due to full-time national service, and I am getting another confinement next week...

Hope to hear from you ASAP because I don't want to trouble you by leaving my TWCu with you for too long...I'm sorry for having such a problematic time table.

Close as in, no more MO?

There seems to be OM for TWCu now. Can I order that...?

For JH owners, does the 48" wire fit into the Otterbox provided?

If that is okay, I'd like the following options:

-48"

-Switchcraft right angle jack

Thanks in advance.

Hello everyone, just thought I'd try and ask here if there were any good solutions.

Okay, so after getting my JH5's, getting music amped by both a Graham Slee Voyager and a RSA Hornet (on low gain) was too loud - and going below that volume would mean a L/R channel imbalance.

Are there any solutions to reducing the volume BESIDES switching to an amp of lower gain? (This would be my last option to consider because I really like the Hornet's sound).

Hopefully any suggestions wouldn't lead to coloration of sound too.

I tried using the Volume Adjustment for all songs in iTunes to -100% gain, but turns out the line out really does bypass every changes made to volume. i.e. it didn't work.

Thanks in advance.

i understand the ear is designed in such a way that it will dislodge the wax bit by bit as the skin grows outwards...?

 

too clear can be a handicap too...

1)Well, frequent IEM use causes earwax to build up more quickly - especially if your genes are for solid earwax. I heard most people have liquid earwax (dominant trait), which clears more easily and less prone to blockages. Mine is solid so meh

2)Audiologists normally refuse to make custom ear impressions (if you're making custom IEMs like Unique Melody, JH, etc.) if there is ear wax blocking the ear canal.

After my second visit to the same GP for ear syringing, he decided to just sell me a ear syringe that uses salt water to clear blockages...lol

Hope it's a good thread to ask, can anyone briefly describe sound differences between TWag and TWcu cables? Thanks.

I made this thread to see if anybody has links to online stores with good prices for audio stuff.

Please do share - meanwhile I would also try to share.

Could I ask whether any of you have good online sites/stores to recommend for good prices?

This thread is a good read/find. I never knew such services existed for all those "US-only" services.

Could you buy a bunch of items, and then ask Vpost/comgateway to ship all of them as one package, thus lowering the shipping cost? Thanks.

Good for buying from websites like rmcaudiodirect.

Yes, gotten the EM1-iFI's. But...

Anybody? Their universals or custom lineups?

Brief reading tells me that they seem to be (another) one of those quite renowned brand names...and are well-received.

Does anyone hear own them, or have heard them before? Thanks.

did they do hearing test by playing different tones and ask you to press a button if you can hear the tone? or just check using headlamp to see any blockage?

 

the best is to do hearing test .. then you will know if your left and right ear have normal hearing sensitivity or not

The former.

I also asked why they do not do ear impressions - the staff there mentioned her higher-ups said not to do so for the purpose of "custom earphones", only for swimming gear and such. She told me she would ask them again.

It seems that the two tubs of goo they bring out are more expensive than they look.

Are those easy to find?

No idea, the catalogue didn't state end of offer.

I went on wednesday and yesterday. Free left-right check.

Anything else afterwards will be up to an ENT doctor. Right now my ears are having a left-right imbalance (my right ear actually can hear better, causing me some distress on public transport), going through the bureaucratic route of polyclinic ----> NUH referral for an ENT.

Nobody?

I hated the fact that some years ago, after some swimming, I lost significant volume sensitivity in the right ear.

So a few days ago I tried to visit a doctor (again), he recommended syringing, but said that the wax looks too hard and would need eardrops for a few days.

Today, I went for the syringing at his stipulated timing, and the feel of water gushing (I was sort of expecting lower-velocity streams, not squirts!) in the ear was uncomfortable at best.

When I saw the 1cm+ cakes of black-brown wax come out of my ear...what in the world. How many years had it been there?

And all of a certain I was getting a lot more volume feedback - and a lot more sensitivity to treble on the right ear.

With good comes bad. Here's why:

1)I used to think Jurong Point was noisy. After my right ear cleared up, the background noise and everyone's talking and such was crazily loud. Maybe I should avoid walking in crowded shopping centres next time.

2)Vocals and centralised sounds in music used to be more biased towards the left. Now it's twice as biased to the right...maybe I exposed my left ear to a little too much music or loudness.

My live feels a little more like a superbly-mastered recording now. Even something like my keyboard typing sounds more...crisp?

The HMV previously at Hereen had a section full of classical. New HMV is at the new shopping mall opposite Centrepoint, can't remember the name. Not sure if their Classical section remains.

Opposite Centrepoint? I'm bad with places, but I thought HMV @ 313, Somerset was the one that replaced the Heeren branch.

Where do you get them? I think there was this shop (was it the Roxy shop?) in Adelphi that sold pretty good jazz recordings by Venus Records.

Feel like getting at least one quartet (piano + bass + percussion + sax) with great-sounding sax. The one the shop owner recommended me back then had this piercing sounding sax (it was written tenor sax on the album I think) out of my ESW9 and the shop CDP.

Any other good places and any CDs or compilations to recommend? Thanks.

Not the upbeat kind of jazz that would get you awake but the relaxing kind - I bought a particular CD on impulse when I heard it through the shop's tube amp but when I got home, turns out a lot of the pieces are too upbeat/energetic...

Has anybody heard this amp before? Seen reviews, quite a number of people say it may yet be the most "tubey-sounding" of the Woo line-up.

Don't know if it's the correct thread to ask.

How close is the W1000x's sound signature to the ESW9? Which ATH woody is the best with female vocals?

I use microfiber cloth for the wood to avoid scratches. So far no observable scratches to me.

I hardly clean the leather pads and band...

The metal bands usually do not need cleaning unless you've been rough with your cans.

No, not pop. I meant that sort of pop erm, you wouldn't really want to hear more than once...sticks in your head yet you don't like the tune and all.

But never mind me. I'll get back to you if I can find anything helpful. Wish you luck on your endeavours!

In my honest opinion, playing any kind of songs during casual events, sales/exhibits, and student events that sound similar to Rihanna's "Umbrella" or all that rap and the like that really seem to mess with your head...is a big no-no.

I always wonder why people keep tolerating the blasting of said music. I'd rather some good old-school stuff like S Club 7's, or those lounge or good instrumentals (say Kevin Kern or 2002).

I am sorry if the first paragraph might come across as harsh but it is really irritating to hear overexposed, tasteless music; the effect of which is amplified if you're in an open area with the hot sun.

And err, 2002 is a duo that plays instrumentals.

I am also interested in how the copper wires would sound, compared to the silver ones.

It would seem that from the wires, nothing less than overall improvement would be had, but I wanna see if the copper ones could add more bass quantity...? The LW3's IMO still need a little more bass.
