It’s good to hear both sides when having to shop ‘blind’. Obviously this could be a one off, or just preference (I’ll go with the first though), but it does add to my list of negatives for using Lugs, although there are still more positives. I’m sure if it was a fault he would put it right, but at what cost and time to the customer. I’m a firm believer of the best customer service is the one you never need in the first place. Im having one more go at using standard tips this week, I’ve order a pair of Azla SednaEarfit XELASTEC ear tips. These are supposed to be quite sticky so I’m hoping for the best. -
That’s worrying. Not so much that I think they will be rubbish, but it sounds like maybe they weren’t checked properly before being sent out (maybe). Did you get in touch about this?
-
To be fair it does say the cables are marked L/R in the small sheet that comes with them. In my case I just couldn’t see them.
-
Yeah, i think if i do decide to go with him I’ll contact him directly rather than via his website.

The ability to change filter characteristics is a good one. I’ve got most of my generic Zen Core synth brass programmed with the Moog filter. As much as I love the Roland sound the Moog seems to have a bit more body to it. A bit darker I guess.
-
Wow, XV-5080 as well. Its amazing what Zen core does these days. It looks like you have the same expansions built in that the Fantom does, plus the 3 on the right. I almost got the smaller version last year, but was put off by the shorter keybed for live playing. One of the reasons i like using the synth expansions in the Fantom is for the more traditional user interface. It just seems more intuitive. I tihnk Rolnad do a good job with the ergonomics on these things.
-
OH MY……that is gorgeous. I had the original JP8 in the early 90’s, and loved it, but i didnt find much use for it in a covers band. These days i use a Fantom 06 with the JP8/JX8P/Juno106 expansions and find i use the JP8 most of the time. I can only imagine how powerful this sounds.
-
I didn’t keep mine for long, but IIR the flat side was facing my head. You could just plug them in and see if you notice the L/R reversed compare to how it normally Sounds.
-
If you notice, the cord coming out of the earpiece points away from the ear. That’s how I tend to remember these things
-
If you have an iOS device use the magnifier. You can zoom in very close with that.
-
I just put them in my ears and if they felt right they were. That cable really caught me out. I spent ages trying to find the marking’s on it. I ended up just plugging them in and panned left and right and swapped until it all sounded correct.
-
As i mentioned in private, ive not heard back from Lugs at all, and ive asked 3 times over the past year or so, but i did see a message on his FB page saying he has stopped doing re shells at the moment so he can concentrate on producing his own IEM’s. This sort of puts me off placing an order and having no real comm’s. The custom tips are attractive, due to the price, and i like the idea that i can still use my MX Pro 3, but yeah, the real pleasure would be full custom. It’s just i need to sort things out pretty quickly, but dont have a pro budget.
-
Ok, change of plan. Anyone got any opinion on the Lugs S2? They are at the top end of my budget (well, over twice really) but could afford them if they are recommend. Im still thinking, ill probably get Mee Audio to make me custom tips for £150 if the costs start to mount up.
-
Nah, Spinfits still not stable in my right ear. I think this was asked a while ago, but anyone got any views on the ACS Evoke 2 Classic? Im now leaning towards getting these, as the price is right and it includes thew ear scan.
-
Ive emailed Lugs to see if i can get my MEE audio IEM’s re shelled. If not, well ill need to get some new ones. In the mean time, im just trying out some Spinfit CP360’s, which don't seem to bad for silicone tips.
-
Well I guess we could swap an ear each, then only one of us need get the customs made 😂
-
Had a good gig on Sat, other than a rather silly bit of user error at the start with the mixer. The XR18 is working out well. Now got 3 of us on IEMs because of it. I am still struggling with keeping my right ear in though. Tried quite a few different foam tips. All good for a while but then comes lose. So finally going to get ear impressions made. I’ve found a place local and they charge £60. I don’t really want to spend more on new IEM’s at this stage, and really do like the MX 3 pros that I already have. So the idea is to get custom ear tips made. MEE Audio do these, but are based in the USA and to seems a long winded process. Im looking for more local recommendations. I know about the guy in Ireland, but anyone got any other suggestions? Do these companies actually do this sort of thing or do they just re house the whole lot in new shells? Cheers. Looking forward to finally having a stress free gig 😁

I like her new single, but it sounds like she recorded it while chewing gum lol. Still more musical that DH. Im sorry to those that are sticking up for her, but this is just bloody awful. The band are good, but WTF!!! This was from last weekend. No excuses like ‘well she is 107 and done a lot of gigs recently’. It’s just not entertaining. https://youtu.be/8e4t8RuN85o
-
Both valid opinions to those that have them, but in the second case, maybe try harder rather than quit. Make the effort needed to do the job.
-
I don’t think age has anything to do with if you like a band/singer or not. Other than the age could be attributing to a sub par performance. Phrases like ‘well she is 77’ don’t mean a thing. It’s like agreeing it’s below par, but then tying to justify it. I thought Robbie Williams’s was pretty poor at IOW, and that’s not an age thing and I was really looking forward to him. Still, I think we are now entering the ‘I like them and you should as well’ arguments.
-
I my opinion she is not very good, and makes a horrible noise. Yes, she is better than me, but i assure you it’s purely because i just don’t like her voice anymore. Ive seen Blondie many times over the year, and just as with a lot of iconic bands, people will go and see them because of who they are. The music is fine, but these old singers really do need to wake up and realise they just don’t have the magic anymore.
-
Yeah, they seem a bit more fragile compared to the Comply’s, but at that price it’s fine. I brought so many different sets of Comply’s so im trying to use those up at the moment. I do find they all seem to come loose in my right ear after a while, hence the wing tips question, but all are better than the silicone ones for me.
-
This is what happens when you get a well below average singer not taking the hint over decades of being sub par. And i am (was) a fan of Blondie. I have a live recording of Debbie’s first solo tour at the Borderline and she was only just passable then.
-
Im using these at the moment. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B09L7F6D9B/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Yeah, I’m using them at the moment. I’m fact I found some cheaper ones that seem to last longer.
