I really appreciate you reviewing the Orca. I've been looking for one for them for quite a while so it was very welcome! Sounds like a good buy. It's definitely on my radar now! 😊 Btw I think the dots on it are supposed to represent the markings on an Orca whale 🙂

@@BixSugi I ended up getting the USB C version. I found for me personally with the switches set to up/down/up they sound really good! ( And I needed to use Spinfit 100 tips to get that sound as well)

@MariaAudioChick8 ай бұрын
@@philipm.4738 yep! This setting sounds like an entirely different IEM. And I just discovered it because it wasn't one of the recommendations. Perhaps it sounds too good for the price point and they are keeping it on the down low. Lol 😜 after a lot of tip rolling I ended back on the Ttips. I really love those tips. They fit my weird ear canals really well and almost always sound great. Ive been playing with taping the vent to warm up the sound a bit and just switched from micropore to transpore tape today. I only covered 3/4 of driver vent instead of the entire hole and pushed back the top layer of tape. Sounds even better than it did last night, more details are coming through while toning down the mids a bit 😎😁

Nice to see TRN with some good releases in the Orca and Conch. I think Conch is a heck of a deal and can even go as low as around $25 on sale

Thanks for the video Mr Akros, I agree with the Conchs, I like them as much as the EA500. Another question regarding the USB C cable that has 2 outputs for charging and data, do you have a link to buy it?

Thanks for doing this. Some of us buy on the second hand market. So older ones are fine!
@Jaawaudio11 ай бұрын
Old doesn't mean dead, and new doesn't mean best👍 There's great progress made in the market, I won't deny it, but many are also a bit snowblind because of the constant hype storm, makes it hard to see the real value, of even just a couple years old sets.

After playing with switches and trying a bunch of mod configs, I'm using the Orca on 101 which isn't one of the listed tunings so no Idea how it graphs. I covered the bass vent with transpore tape and using TTips, sounds incredible!! Bass is impactful while the mids and highs are still very present, no shoutiness or harshness. Stage is imoressive. Im still playing with mods on the Conch. Suggestions?

In your opinion, is the soundstage wide or small? in doubt between trn orca or moondrop lan. 🤔
@MariaAudioChick7 ай бұрын
@@mi-les I haven't heard the LAN so I can't speak for it, but the Orca on the UP-Down-Up setting has a very nice Soundstage. I tried a lot of other settings since this one isn't listed. That setting has some special sauce. Great bass, mids, highs, and soundstage. I got mine on sale and with coupons/coins, paid $9. Very surprised by how great it sounds in that setting.

Try up, down, up-opened up the Soundstage A TON! Not sure why it's not listed as a profile, sound goes to next level, the balance between the frequencies is perfect. I wanted more subbass so I covered the bass vent with transpore medical tape. Bass sounds more balanced and detailed now.
