>>106532786>>106532937Thanks bros.>they're good for a planar, not in vacuumI heard some people really like planars. What are the pros/cons?
>>106533205/hpg/ loves planars, what about /iemg/?
>moonderp's ONE DSP aka Marigold>web app for PEQ>$30our tots?
>>106533307We love 1DDs.
>>106533110>Moondrop Chu not on the listJustify this
>>106533428widespread clogging. paint chipping, and nozzle oxidation issues
>>106533410That's the feeling I've been getting. Is there any reason why I'd need more, or is it marginal gains only past a well-tuned, good-fitting 1DD?
>>106533205faster transient response, generally lower distortion, better resolution/detail retrieval, consistency across volumes. dd generally have better bass slam and natural timbre
>>106533205Apart from consistent FR quirks, nothing much.>>106533929No, planars don't offer unique solutions toany IEM problem unlike with headphones.>>106533939This is just the same dumb audiophile drivel we see everywhere, and of course it is all false.
>>106534108>No, planars don't offer unique solutions toany IEM problem unlike with headphones.What about other driver configurations?
Each cable sounds different. I love swapping for something warmer or brighter depending on my mood.
Is the Tempotec V1 still available on AliExpress I can't find it anymore?
APP3 HYPE!!!!!
>>106534460>Cable swappingWhat's your Headfi username bro, follow 4 follow?
>>106534460not the hero iemg deserves but the one we need
>>106534108well. you're full of shit entirely.
>>106534997The eartips are made out of foam on the inside now but still silicone on the exteriorHow long till chifi copies it?
>>106533939Chatgpt lied to you.
>>106534418Some drivers will have higher treble amplitude, others will show more prominent resonances based on acoustic load, etc. Driver configurations are used to achieve wanted FRs and for marketing.Most of these things do not matter for you, look at the final FR. You do not need the engineering reasoning, only the result.>>106535203You have never even heard a planar.
>>106535877I have two planar pos.now nobody can take you seriously.
>>106536161Of course it is KZ planars, which have high distortion above 1khzBut let's give you the benefit of the doubt, show us the distortion measurements for your planars.
>>106536161Oh God so you don't even own a planar that's decently tuned and yet you feel the need to defend 'le techs.' Bruh momentAt least come in here with an S12 or something
Planars are suck, single DDs rape
>>106536641>>106536745>you never heard a planar>oh you have but it's a shit planarexactly why you cannot be taken seriously. there's never a, "oh shit I was wrong". it's, "well somehow you're still wrong"this is dogma and it takes a special loq iq fuckin retard to really think they can lie their asses off while calling everyone else liars.
>>106536891No, my comment's point was that it's funny seeing someone whose only experience with planars is with bottom of the barrel KZs insist there is anything special about them compared to DDs.
>>106536891Do they have high distortion which you like, cool
>>106537118no bitch first it was>you have never even heard a planar.>you don’t own one.>ok but you own the wrong one.>ok, but you don’t have measurements.>ok, but you don’t listen properly.I could move goalposts too and use chatgpt+grok exclusively to vaporize your "FR=everything" bullshit. every thread. every day. I can play your game too. would be worth it to see you blow a gasket. this place is a desert anyway. one megalomaniac's bullshit echo chamber
>says planars have low distortion>asked to show data that supports this>starts sperging out
>>106537383I got asked to take distortion measurements of my pos. I mean get the fuck out
>>106537413brother, you can't even show your claim is true for one sample, how can you so confidently and shamelessly say that every planar has low distortion
>>106537326>B-but first it was!No, you're wrong, I'm not the person asking for measurements, I was just being snarky lol. >Wah wah this place is an echo chamberYou're totally free to leave and go on to HeadFi. Nobody there will just nod along if you blabble on about technicalities or DAC sound signatures or cables.
>>106534505I bought mine used. Didn't see it on ali when I last checked.
>>106537472>planars have lower distortion generally than DDspecific enough for you?
>>106538570For open-back headphones, different discussion.You're plain wrong when you're saying that regarding IEMs, in addition to the other retarded shit you believe.
>>106538627what did you need measurements of MY pos for, then? I even clarified, "planars in general"but no......now it's different, for the third time.now it's "ok well pos are different". it's impossible to even have a discussion because oh wait, funny how all this started with me answering a simple planar vs DD question you jump in nitpicking and nagging like a whiny little bitch ever since
>>106538810There is no notpicking of anything. We are talking about the validity of statements made.For open-back headphones, one could make the claim you made and be considered correct.For IEMs, which we are discussing and you showed pictures of, it is incorrect.Really simple. Clearly you're the type of moron to fail your classes and blame the instructor, criteria, phrasing of the test question, your pencil, etc. You're just plain wrong and stupid.You not understanding easily evident differences between open-back headphones and IEMs is only further proof of how stupid you are.
You are exactly the kind of person who would benefit from reading the EQ guide, or any other material discussing sound science. Obviously we know what your reaction to that would be, that you prefer to be uneducated and clueless about basic fundamentals of audio.
>>106539048too bad nobody will ever read the eq guide
PEQdB studio solved audio and no one cares??
>>106539516nope. you suck shittur go grift somewhere else you're not already banned from
>>106539516It's pretty useful for fixing peaks and adjusting bass/treble, why you decided to advertise it as some manual autoeq to match some arbitrary line is beyond me.
