    UE TF 10!

    Not too bad shipping overseas by yourself, considering that the local store might just take about forever to ship your stuff back. There's a forummer here who waited months just for his zero dac to come back from Jaben. Sure, IEMs can't be compared to that, due to the size and weight, but doesn't it go to show the mindset of the store? Of course, if someone could attest against that, it'd be great, but if not, I'd say just go for the set overseas. And another thing to note. Since you're getting it first hand at about $100 off, which would make it close to $500 (do correct me if this isn't the price right now), you'll have to pay for GST when it hits the shores of Singapore, since it's over $400. This could be easily avoided by having the seller under declare the cost of the stuff, but since you're getting it from Amazon.. I think it's wishful thinking.
  2. Haha, more often than not, isn't this is the true essence of the flagrant exploitation that's taking place? Ok, enough rambling.
  3. Haha, does the Zero DAC count as the "soundcard" in this case? It should be, since technically speaking, you're referring to the Audio DAC for the computer, right? Cheers.
  4. Pfft. If they wanted to even pass of at the least bit truthful, they would not have used such simplistic, unscientific pictures (or "data") to back up their grandiose claims. A mousetrap? A woman putting on makeup? Come on. Even stereophile has true-to-life scientific measurements of all its data on the last few pages, and it describes in painful detail each step taken. Another perfect example how marketing in audio was never to appeal to the ears, but more to the mind and its vivid imagination. Bravo. EDIT: Kinda reminds you of how cars are being advertised nowadays, ain't it?
  5. To me, a good EQ if you're playing through the computer will resolve whatever "lacking" that one experiences through the headphones. It's just a matter of taking the time and effort to figure out which curve suits your taste.
  6. If I'm not mistaken, the Z4 sub that you're using has a 3.5mm port that is wired up to line out of the PC. Then, the sub has a pair of high level inputs that lead to your Z4 speakers. Thus, if I'm not mistaken, your sub only supports high level inputs, and not low level connections like RCA/3.5mm, which means that it cannot work as a "preamp" of sorts if you wish to hook it up to the AE A2s. As such, your second option will not work out, unless your AE A2 speakers are passive speakers like most high end Hi-Fi speakers are. You should be able to make it work out as stated in your first option. However, I would imagine that it'd be quite odd having such a deep bass extension for the rear while the front is completely lacking bass.
  7. Since this is a Shure SE530 thread, and I don't have the sufficient number of posts to post in the classified section, I'll shamelessly advertise here that I have a pair of Shure SE530s with the PTH unit to let go. Anyone interested just drop me a PM.
  8. Haha. This is my zone. Soothing instrumental all the way! Check out Yiruma and Kotaro Oshio for some sweet piano and guitar. Would love to name more, but most of those are from anime OSTs, so I guess they don't really count as "artistes" eh?
  9. Decided to post another part of the "setup". It's really large so it's in a thumbnail format. This is my regular setup when listening through the ER4P.
  10. Interesting article. Kind of refreshing to note that their site still has objective articles instead of heavily hyped ones.
  11. Haha ok let me clarify myself further. The creative earphones have a greater bass extension over the W3. However, if you're going to start comparing bass definition, the W3 would probably win. All that impresses me about the W3 is its ability to convey a "sound space" and the fit. I've never worn such a comfortable IEM before.
  12. Hmm I do have a friend wanting to sell his Shure SE530 PTH's for $500. Do drop me a PM if you're interested, and I'll try to get something done.
  13. Yup, it's a pair of Quad 12L2's. And yup, Leo Research supertweeters just like what most people have got.
  14. Here's mine. Feeling a little small compared to the previous post.
  15. Whoa. Wait. What's the difference between the 6.5mm to 3.5mm plug and the 3.5mm to 6.5mm plug? If you had a picture to illustrate it'd be great.
