Cool stuff. ESP better option then I take it?

Glitch in the matrix.

Silica gel is a good way of ensuring your IEMs keep relatively dry. For normal use, silica gel does the job well. Just remember to recharge the silica gel every now and again in the microwave or stick the pouch on the radiator. I also have an ACS Revivo that I put my IEMs every now and again or after a particularly sweaty gig. https://www.acscustom.com/uk/products/accessories looks to be the same sort of deal as the Minerva thing - just a bit cheaper. More information? - they do the job I guess. I can't say they come out looking like completely different IEMs... but if they potentially zap any nasties that may be breeding in your inears, then it's got to be worth putting your inears for a cleaning cycle now and again... right? I don't really suffer with sweat... but even some damp IEMs will come out bone dry after the cleaning cycle has finished. All you do is take the cables off, stick the inears in and close the lid, press the button and wait for the cycle to finish. Obviously make sure any wax and the like is cleaned off before putting them in for the UV clean. Umm... other things? Yeah, you have to put a silica gel capsule in there... and thats about it. Fan and UV light in a box essentially - all running off a battery that is rechargeable using a USB charger. Pretty low tech on the whole - but it seems well built.

Interested to see that Fender are branching out into customs in 2019 (3:20 - although I'm sure when you are asking people to drop some serious cash at premium prices, it's not a great marketing move to refer to them as "the crowd")... given the pricing of their universals, I suspect they will be aiming to have their name at the top alongside the likes of Westone, UE, 64, JH, Noble, Advanced Acousticwerks, Spiral, Empire, Jomo et al... Not sure how I feel with something with Fender on them in my ears - especially at the price they are. Not exactly their specialism is it?

Hey Jim, we can be dumbasses together. I'm with you, its pretentious twaddle with possibly the elitist underlying message of "operating at a level that mere mortals cannot fathom". If they are getting people to listen to their stuff, then congrats to them. I certainly wouldn't be changing any plans to go and see them.

Doesn't really matter, they both suck.

Hey at least your command of the English language is better than your taste in music. Well done. ps both words are acceptable in this instance. You may have a preference but hey we can't all like the same stuff - as proven in this thread.

Yours is a lot more polite than my take on it... you know after you've done the deed and she just won't stop doing her Henry impression...?

Yeah, the funny thing is, in these circles, they just prostituted themselves - somebody requested Mustang Sally... and Mustang Sally is what they got.

I'm working on a shred right now.

Careful... not too much of this stuff, we'll have to chisel BassTractor out of their chair.

That's fine, I'm sure I'll lose no sleep as to what you think about me or what I don't get.

9:39. Is that relief that it's over? I'd actually pay a lot of money to watch these people go onto Britains Got Talent in front of Cowell.

Race is on, who gets theirs first! 😛

1:53 onwards proper disturbs me. 2:25 possessed yodeller. 3:01 cat fight...? 3:20, your neighbours doing the deed in a rickety bed? 3:43 screw that, Im going home...

I'm not sure if this is meant to be music... or if the guy is seriously possessed and needs an exorcist. There's improvisation and improvisation. Sorry, I just don't get it... and yes, I'll judge you if you like this. On a side note, the guy on upright nailed an impression of me on one. On another side note, I'd love to be witness to him testing out mics in a music shop.

Wow. So much guff in one thread.

What happened to all the shaping done at the desk? Sometimes things can be over complicated!

Great stuff. Remember to post a review and pics when they arrive!

These mics never sound as good as the more modern designs. It's a style thing maybe - but I'd rather have the better performance. Om5 or Om7 it!

Most kind - I try I guess - I suppose I just want guys to get hold of the best sounds in the ears that they can whilst not going deaf if in the process! I do find it all quite fascinating/addictive though.

Rumour has it, he's a hot jazzer.

It's all relative I guess. I spend ALOT Of time with IEMs in my ears and as you can probably tell from this thread, it's pretty much my thing! The A3s are a nice piece... in fact, EVERYTHING from UE, 64 and JH are pretty nice! The main thing is, is that they do the job and keep your ears safe!

My JHs were 6 months! (They announced Carbon Fiber as a build option.... and it crippled them). Even without CF, JH used to be months.The advances in 3d scanning and emailing to avoid the shipping of moulds and 3d printing has certainly helped getting the timescales way, way down. At the time, the thought of CF was actually a cool addition as at the time, they were the only manufacturer offering a whole CF build and the surcharge to do so was fairly minimal. I certainly wouldn't pay the price they want for it now - especially having lived with them now - they are much harder to clean because you can't see whats in the tubes. I would also recommend that people go for trans/semi trans on the shell for this reason alone!
