I once thought of purchasing the big boys (for me, in a relative sense) like the Softears RSV, the IER-M9, the Anole VX and perhaps even the U18T.

Then, I reasoned with myself, and thought I'd settle for less. I began aiming for the DUNU SA6 MK2 (I somewhat treble sensitive and the MK2's graph looked even better to me). Maybe the Oracle OG as a reference set.

Now, I've become cheap. I no longer desire for such luxuries, even though it'd be amazing to have them. I now look at the Audiosense DT600 as my preferred target and IEM, and an apple dongle for my laptop and phone.

I do sometimes wonder about the whatifs...the thing is, amidst all of the thinking I did, I didn't actually buy anything. I'm waiting to be blown away by my endless collection of FLAC when I do get the IEMs I want.

Great collection BTW, but like every other guy on Crinacle's livestream: try not to stay trapped in mid-fi hell. CA Andromedas are cool though. Ever thought of the IER-M9/U12t for a relaxing signature?

Thanks. You're way ahead of me. I agree with you. I want to go beyond. My wallet holds me back most of the times. Other times, it's because shipping is a problem. But I get you. After listening to stuff, I understand & appreciate anything that does not feel like a task just to wear. Tin2 gave me that feeling - to some extent. The M9 is what I was also considering when I was thinking about the WXM5s. I chickened out because for some reason, my mind associates wear-ability with the sound signature. Yes, I know - it's dumb, like I said, it's in my head. U12t is just within my reach. Just. Maybe a New Year present for myself. I dislike Apple with every shred of my body, but their dongle is respectfully in my good books. Still, I will never stoop that low to have anything Apple as my possession - no offense. Because I paced through the low tier, by the time I got to where I am, I found good speakers. Work keeps me stuck to the WXM5s, so my ascent beyond the mid-fi has mellowed. I do aim to mature as much as you, but I want it to be natural. I'm happy accessibility is improving by the minute, both for items & music, so I'm sure it will be soon.

And I completely forgot to say: wait till you listen to TOTL headphones. I once listened to the HE1000v2 pair, and except for the bright tuning, bloody hell they make you feel like you're part of the sound. It's a tear-inducing feeling, especially if you've never done TOTLs before.

LCDs are also up there, the new LCD-X really hit my warmish-preferences well. I liked that pair. Maybe someday eh?
