  • Simgot created a hybrid IEM and attempted to match the Harmon 2019 target curve. How did they do?
    As ‪@asx1248‬ correctly pointed out 3 dB won’t be doubly loud for the average viewer. An increase of 3 dB represents a doubling of the sound pressure, an increase of about 10 dB is required before the sound subjectively appears to be twice as loud. When you reach my level of hearing their is no difference between sound pressure and loudness.

    I re-tune my em6l. I put a #450 grade filter on the nozzle. Brings the pinna gain down around 3db and slightly increases the bass. This is very close to my target. I re-tuned my ea500 too.

    Looking for ear tips for those and it's hard to find, I'm actually using the large ones as they are not intrusive to the ear canal, only way to have a good seal... I tried Fiio HS18 13.8mm as exemple and it's too small, any suggestions ?

    You should know, we who actually listen to IEMs a lot, we have a lot of different tips that make IEMs fit better. In this case, a taller tip is a better fit/option to your needs, you should look into that. I don't see shorter nozzle as a problem, that's easy. Also, a sticky silicon material that many tips have, will not fall out what ever you do, they're like glued in, stuck in there. You may wan't to look into that as well. Funny that you mentione Zero Red since it has one of the biggest nozzles in the world and doesn't fit into many peoples ears at all, actually. I own them and I'm lucky they fit me, but barely. I love their tuning, but with the 10 ohm adapter.

    • @scientificaudiophile
      @scientificaudiophile  10 місяців тому +1

      I only run in headphones, and all my equipment, to keep audio freaks from complaining I didn’t do a review justice. I would say a headphone or IEM is fine in an hour, and some companies that properly test their equipment before shipping won’t need any runtime at all.

    • @jimfarrell4635
      @jimfarrell4635 10 місяців тому +1

      I do think running in speakers helps. The drivers are mechanical, after all, and I do think some loosening up and improved compliance and efficiency goes on. Whether they need more than a few hours is questionable.

    I use SIMGOT EM6L and I am very satisfied. It is a great pleasure to listen to music with him. I can easily understand the location of the players while playing the game. I want to upgrade to a higher model. What do you recommend I buy? I have a budget of $400. I used Truthear Zero, but the sounds were too complicated, I didn't like it at all and returned it. I hope I was able to explain my taste in sound.

    It was a shock, when Michael Fremer posted a comparison video between his Caliburn turntable and the Technics SL1200G with A and B files we were to listen to and guess the turntable from.. And he posted piano music! The most pitch sensitive instrument there is when its allowed to ring out. I thought it was crazy that a 5000 dollar turntable like the 1200G had a clearly hearable unstable speed.. the notes were vibrating on and off pitch as if someone had put a Bigsby vibrato unit for guitar on that piano. Then when the A and B files were exposed i found out it was the Caliburn a 150 000 usd turntable being that unstable. No wonder he changed his Caliburn for an even more expensive OMA turntable. But is it any better? How can Michael know? What kind of an audio guy is Fremer when he cant even hear a such a fundamental thing as pitch instability on long drawn out piano notes? Does he know how to tune that guitar of his that he shows off at times?

    • @scientificaudiophile
      @scientificaudiophile  10 місяців тому +3

      There is something to be said for mass production, or in the case of turntables, higher production numbers. A company like Technics doesn’t just have more production, but an insane amount of engineering history. I don’t think high end turntable manufacturers can compete with the Technics and Regas of the world.

    Okay, mr. science, but although an increase of 3 dB represents a doubling of the sound pressure, an increase of about 10 dB is required before the sound subjectively appears to be twice as loud. The smallest change we can hear is about 3 dB. The subjective or perceived loudness of a sound is determined by several complex factors. You should know this.

    Funny that you mentione male vocals sound significantly higher that female vocals, because objectively that's not the case at all. And you should know this, looking at the graph alone. These have more lower mids than neutral, which is obvious when you get them to fit right. I believe it's more a fit problem, which you mentioned, you'll lose the bass when you don't get them to fit well using wrong tips. Just makes sense. Unless you mean higher female vocals in the treble range, that's fair, EM6L is a bit brighter, airier IEM with huge treble extension. That can be also fixed with different tips, or at least I did.
