Are u gonna whack the mh 334? Haha.

Both sound the same to me. I dont know why, maybe my mind is tricking me thinking they are both basically the same except one is universal form and the other is in custom mold.
I was surprised by C435 demo though, sooo laid back and warm even less treble than 334/335 unlike what the review said. I bet there's something wrong with that pair.

Go back and do some serious listening. The first few times when I heard mh 334 I thought they sounded the same. But it's damn different no joke, sound stage and imaging is on a total different level. Vocal presentation also more natural.

Guys I need help now. After listening to the kaiser 10 I can safely say I don't mind shelling out 2k++ as the improvement in sound is justified at least to me. Now what else should I be listening to? I know the ref 1 is coming over here and there are other top tier competition Roxanne and LSX. I'll be listening to FitEar jh13/16 and the um and rooth line up.

The k10 to me is just a good all rounder and I don't think it sacrifices any one frequency for another at least for my amateur ears.

Any others that will come close?

His budget jumped after he tried K10 last night.

TS should try everything. Try until you are very sure of what you want.

I really liked the UERM & the UE11, do give them a try, you'll be amazed. AVOne@Adelphi has demo units for UERM/UE11/UE18

Thats cool! Thanks for the heads up.... Will go and try them tmr. But, are the AVone staffs still snobbish towards peasant audiophile? :D
