No but I like my Rn6 more than my VC

I needed that validation for passing on every VC I see

Depends on the amp…VC with my ECP DSHA3F is huge sounding headphone and only reason I have kept it but doesn’t perform that well with my Bliss.

Rn6 is certainly a more 'fun' listening session than the VC. Different strokes for sure but I still love the VC.

VC is more analytical. Rn6 produces more bass thanks to Kinetic. I won't get rid of my VC, or Rn6, either

Not even a knock on the sound. I love to own a VC/VO at one point and I almost pulled the trigger on a Camphor Burl one last year.

But I'm not ready to commit what I'd need for a setup like this given ny sunk cost fallacy for porta-fi.

Rn6 it is

Caldera Closed coming out soon too. Still on the VC/VO? I am hoping to add a CC in Koa Wood one day.

Rn6 still my most fun IEM to date; still semi curious about a custom (would be my first).

100% I use the Rn6 for top tier Hifi listening of all genres. I use the EVO's for EDM, but they're a phenomenal different flavor on other genres too.
I only use the VC for Classical Rock and instrumental music. It just doesn't have the bass to satisfy my hedonistic needs. I would never get rid of my VC's. I waited 2 years to snag one in stabilized green 1 of 1.

It's also more of a pain the butt for the past 7 months to set-up my desk-top set up for the VC's. I'll finally be in my permanent residence in 20 days x'D.

Depending on genres, I would go with an Atrium open. That didn't exist when I lusted after my VC (and had 2 open backs at the time). But I don't regret my VC and would never sell it. I am lucky enough to have both

RN6 is way easier to drive and you won't regret that either =D RED MODULE ALL THE WAY!

Agree 100% again red module all day. Also lucky to have both, custom ordered my VC in Koa Wood last year... My favorite wood! Zach was great to work with.

Is M5 worth a try for this year' audio meta?

Am liking my new E12. The detail on the percussion/drums/bass is astounding. The only thing i wish i could change is that FOR MY EARS, the treble is a bit brash and tizzy. It makes me keep lowering the volume. I am coming from the smooth SE846 which i could listen to for hours without fatigue. I may just get used it. Ive only used them 3 or 4 times for about an hour each. I wish i could merge their warmth and high freq rolloff into the E12 for the perfect IEM (For me).

Qobuz > Iphone 11 > Cayin RU7 > E12.

How many hours do you have on your E12 and which eartips are you rolling?

How many hours do you have on your E12 and which eartips are you rolling?

I bought them used. But i don't think the original owner had them long. I have about 5 hours tops on them. I am using the tips they came with - the large foams, which are very comfortable, and isolate well for me.

 

[Niyologist]

The E10 Customs doesn't do well with metal. The spatial cues and instruments become subdued by the slightly dark atmosphere. Then again, it could be the source I'm using. It does well with my iFi amps/DACs.

So the e10 Customs might be a bit picky?

I had the same issue with treble out of the box and recommend tip rolling to start and lots of playtime.

Rolled through my eartip collection and settled with Azla SednaEarFit Origins, previously Azla SednaEarFit light shorts, which tamed the highs and lifted the mids for a slightly fuller sound. Other aftermarket tips may work best for your hearing.

After 80+ hours of playtime, my E12 have settled in and less tizzy than out of the box.

Also of note, I'm using a warmer colored source.

After further inspection, it could be an issue of mastering or genre selection.
