    Sold

    Bump plus new item.
  2. For your budget I would suggest you try out the esw9 or if you are interested in iem the Ortofons. No comment on the D2000 since I've not heard it.

    Custom ear piece

    Try jaben but I must warn you they aren't cheap. They cost even more than the JH customs.
  4. TF10 pro 620? um3x 599 ie8 558? e-Q7 459 ck10 379-399 530 640? 420 ? scl4 ? Why not just go to stereo or Jaben and ask them yourself?
  5. looks promising. Not sure if you can get them in Singapore though. Maybe Best Denki has it?
  6. The UM2s are way above your budget. For around 200 your best bet would be either the Westone 1s or the UM1. The ES7 are slightly over your budget but I did hear good things about them so maybe you can try them out?
  7. It does have a spacious sound and quite possibly the largest sound-stage found on iem and their instrument separation is second to none but nothing stands out on the 13. It is quite simply the most neutral pair of headphones I have ever tried but you might want to re-think your options before you pull the trigger. As good as they might be spending a few thousand dollars on a pair of headphone is gonna hurt. Specs-wise, they are one of the best out there but some people might find them too neutral for their liking. If you like treble there are other option out there but I'm not sure whether you can get it in Singapore. UM the re-shelling company seems to have their own line of custom one of which is called Mage. From what I've read it seems to be good with treble and many people seems to like it. Live-wires are also another option to go for and they are relatively cheap for a custom so check those out as well.
  8. CK100, CK10 and TF10 have some of the best treble found in universal IEMs. Be it details or extension, they are almost perfect in their own way. The er4 series seems to be great as well but I do not have the pleasure to try them. But the 13s are on another league when it comes to treble and in fact everything else. Extension and details are a few steps above the top 3 that I have mentioned and the way it is presented keep it from being bright unlike the ck100 and the ck10 and it is so smooth it is unbelievable. I find the treble on the TF10 to be a bit harsh just a bit but the 13 has none of that. It is my definition of the perfect treble presentation. Just to note, I did not have an amplifier(never will) during my audition so imagine what will happen when you pair them with a good amplifier.
  9. I will admit I did not own any of the IEM mention above but I did have extensive listening period with both the TF10 and universal version of JH13. The TF10 is good by universal standards especially the treble and the rather spacious sound which is not found in most IEM but the demo version of the JH custom is another story. The best trait of the TF10 to me is it's treble detail and extension but that is nothing compared to the 13s. Custom TF10 would no doubt improve the sound but the same can be said with the 13s. My point is unlike the 13, the TF10 is designed to be a universal IEM not a custom where as the 13 is designed from scratch to be a custom so everything from the crossover to even the positioning of the driver has been done by custom standards. The TF10 can be made to custom to provide better fit which in turns contribute to better sound to ones ears but the crossover and the positioning of the driver is only designed by the researchers to match TF10 original shell and nothing else so no doubt they are good but they can't compete with customs by just re-shelling alone. More research need to be done before re-shelled universals can compete with the real deal.
  10. TF10 re-shelled is just an universal IEM dressed as a custom they won't sound as good as true custom should but they are a cheaper and fun alternative. I've not tried the 16 but I did have a go with the 13 and the 11 and they are on a league of their own. Bottom line is go for the real deal if you got the cash or re-shell your TF10 if you don't. Re-shelling does improve your fit tremendously and with better fit they might sound better but they won't sound as good as or even close to the JH.
  11. Is it sold in SG? Better than CK100 in every aspect seems a bit hard to believe but nevertheless it still caught my attention.
