Ask Tiemen on HF for advice on German Maestro. He used to be about AKG and Beyerdynamic until German Maestro launched the 8.3. Maybe Solderdude has some measurements somewhere.


Will do, thanks!

Third player in the game! Any expirience with Brainwavz HM5/NVX-XPT100 especially comparing to two already mentioned? I've read they are very neutral, however, as much as I don't like too much bass, I also don't like when it's lower then mids.

The PS1 hack is a total urban legend. I've read reviews comparing it to real quality transports of its day and it got crushed. There's even an old Stereophile review of it where I think Atkinson even measured it. It's not even flat and had other serious issues. Don't waste your time. The Ps1 hack is just more vintage audiophool internet garbage mythology like the DT48 and other unobtanium stuff that was really just crap to begin with.

A good 80% of this hobby is bullshit. I said it sounded good, not measured well (Much like my Polk Monitor 10's!):P

Any suggestion of a crazy basshead (C)IEM? Sonically as close as TH900?

Out of the CIEMs I've heard, I think the UE11 is the most comparable product. Punchy bass and a really involving sound, it's probably my favorite of the UE line up.

Sell t1 and LCD-2, get either Abyss or HE1000. Or, if you're the type, track down a code-x.
