So when are you getting both of them? I listened to both of them at Canjam & went with the 11s,& glad I did. As for the bass ,listening to the customs not the universals the 11s are amazing. I found with the universals the bass was more bloated & a little too overpowering. My amp of choice that I own is the PRII with the 11s,but I would like to try the Pico with the customs at some point.

Just as well as you can spell:p

I had a legit offer of 2k for my vintage pair from someone overseas & turned it down.The buyer found a pair after that & I believe he paid less,then later sold them.The buyer had to have them & was willing to go that high with out even ever hearing a pair. While most would have jumped at that offer,I thought it was over the top myself.I have owned them since 1995 & just couldn't sell them. Don't think I didn't think about it.Call me crazy or whatever but in the end I still own them.

Happy Birthday Tom! Have a great one.

All I can tell you is what I hear,whether its the cable ,drivers or a combination of both.Others with UE11s also have posted about burn in on HF. I let my ears be the deciding factor mental or not.

I felt that way about the universals as well at Canjam ,I picked the UE11s over the UE10s,with reservations. After the secound set of impressions I finally got a good fit on the UE11s. When I first recieved them bass did seem a little overpowering,bloated ,after some burn in the bass fell in line. On some songs you may still get that,but that will be due to the recording. The bass on the the Ue11s are powerfull & well defined & very tight. I don't know how they stuffed a subwoofer in the earpieces but they did. I have a hard time taking them out of my ears once I start listening to them. I am very impressed with the UE11s to say the least,all my other Iems sit unused since I got them.

Thats all you got,wheres the impressions:D

Vicki, I can't believe you haven't recieved your UE11s yet.I got mine after the 2nd set of impressions. Glad to say I am very impressed with them.,smoked my other IEMS. I picked the translucent blue no artwork. I like your art work, looks cool,it would look good on the translucent blue or even the electric blue. I also think it would look good with the silver plated ue11s.

You would be surprised how fast I could be;). Dusty no worry just a little banter between friends.

I prefer the bowls on the PS1s, with RS1s & Hp1000s I use flats. I use modded melos /but the Zana Duex also works well. The GS1000 pads are not a good match at all.

The problem was a bad 5687 tube adapter,I moved the adapters right to left & the distortion moved with it.I replaced the front tubes & adapters with VT231s,no adapters no distortion. This is the secound tube adapter that had failed on me,the first being a very early one. I have to agree with you the adapters may be the cause for all the biasing problems others are having. I don't know why you would say that ,as in fact there where no issues at all at the last november meet or the Nov meet in 2006 with the ES1 at all.Just reread the meet impressions thread not a word about a problem was posted ,or did anyone mention a problem to me at the meets.Only Positive comments where made to me at the meets & in the thread.

Look for a used Bel 1001. I have a pair of MK1s but I am only using 1 in my system now due to space.They can switched internally to monoblock or stereo. A much better amp then the DNA .05 deluxe I owned before.

My New Team fixed the quote thing for ya - boom

I never said I belonged to team Minimal Maybe Team Out Of Control

Apple shuffle & earbuds ,thats pretty minimal.

Happy Birthday ED!

Mine is a heavily maxed ES1,My Es1 was also the testbed for future Es1s,The first es1 prototype had Jacks for regular headhones but no internal boards!. The concerto was at one of the meets,don't remember if it was one of the NY meets.

John told me there where 3 prototypes,I believe one of them was the salad bowl prototype,& the 2 jude & I own.

Jude owns the other prototype.

I also picked up a Toshiba A3 today But I bought it at a brick & motor store for 169.00,amazon had a better deal with 3 extra HDDVDs ,but I didn't want to wait.Hooked it up & watched the Bourne Identity.Great picture.

I didn't listen that long to them at the meet,but they had sounded better then I have heard them before. The He90s are more refined,bass is more detailed & tighter ,wider & deeper soundstage.But the clones at there price are no slouch.immtbiker has them in possesion since the meet & just posted some impressions in the Chifi meet impressions thread.

They also have been some changes cosmetically & sonicly since the international meet ,all for the better & some where listening though my Maxed ES-1 at the end of the Ny meet.They sound good but are not at the HE90 level,but neither is there price.

I am in the plasma camp,I have a 42 panasonic in my bedroom,& will eventually replace my 35xbxr Sony in my living room with a Pioneer 50inch.I Find the Plasmas look more natural to me.Looks good from any angle & no motion blur.

Happy Birthday John ( Have a great one !

Dared vp300 amps sound very good with the Duos,Heard my pair on a pair of duos at a audiocircle Rave.No preamp needed as they have thier own volume control.
