  This rule should be a given: Burn-In you DD Drivers in your IEMs. HA-FWX1 continues to have staging improvements via Burn-In.

    @Stuff Jones: last year, I sent them detailed measurements and comments on how the FW1800 could be re-tuned to sound closer to the FDX1, while leaving the nice wood timbre intact:
    
    https://i.imgur.com/SQhPy85.jpeg
    
    I never heard back from them though. And I don't know how the FWX1 compares to the original FW1800.

    @james444, I reviewed your screencap. With my ears, the subbass/midbass is more than a FDX1 Green Filter that is on my desk (I still found FDX1 to have leaner bass). However, subbass/midbass isn't even close to a stock FX1800 if going by the graph.....
    
    Sep 30, 2021
  5. YMO
    ....I hate ultra boosted bass IEMs that is overbearing, and the FWX1 to me isn't even close to that limit. However, FWX1 is downward sloping starting at around 4k/5k (not what you wish for), but can get the shout like the FDX1 if you push the vol control HARD. It's an acquired taste, which is something I'll be referencing since the wood timbre benefits are here.

    very typical of smartpost (and UPS surepost). I've had FedEx/UPS go past my city multiple times before it makes it to USPS... who then sits on it for a few days because I'm guessing they view these combined delivery services as low priority.
    
    I avoid those services like the plague

    @crenca it will most likely be in the '80s but the real question is the humidity. Orlando has worse humidity than the coastal regions. Thankfully in Jacksonville the humidity is going to be 40% through 50% the next couple days, which is nice.

    It sounds good with above average DS DACs. But with any good or better R2R, it becomes a bottleneck. Also, it's inadequate for HD-6x0. Overall, it's very good for that price.
