I can't tell the difference if the time of comparison is reasonable far apart. In tests like you mentioned, there are songs where I notice the difference and some where I don't. I guess what makes it even more confusing to some people is bit perfect playback, that can actually make a (small) difference.

I had the T2 Galaxy and they were actually quite good, just really bassy. I remember hearing that the No. 3 was actually pretty good back in the day as well. Dunno if it still holds up or not though.

I don't know a place that can help you, but there's another piece on the other side of the headphone and you can at least look at it to know what to look for.
Anyway, it looks like the plastic axis snapped in half. you need to open the eacup to get the other half out and substitute it with somehting made of metal tubing and putty.

Reply to I never thought amps made much of a difference...until I got a Liquid Spark by givemeyournews
When I switched from the liquid spark to the a30 pro I was genuinely impressed with how different they were. I knew the spark leaned warm but I didn't know exactly how warm it was in comparison to a truly reference neutral. (My only other experience was on my phone or the xduoo xp-2pro which also have a little bit of a warm tilt)

Yes, A2A sale so good I actually just got elegias after having the clears for a bit and loving them.
I'm in the same park as you, upgrading from 6xx the clear are the 6xx without the veil and with an even richer/thicker sound.

I used to own a TFZ Secret Garden 3... Sound quality lost to a KZ Zs10 Pro which cost 10% of my TFZ SG3's.
Never bought another TFZ IEM after that , the scar was deep

Michael Jackson's Thriller - the door opening sequence in the intro is good for tracking left-right imaging. (the steps aren't perfectly tracked left to right, so you need to know where they should be)
Ariana Grande / Hayley Williams are just about perfect for me to test for the high mid - low treble spike that often irritates me in AKG house sounds (like the K712).
Nigel Kennedy - Four Seasons - No. 4 in F Minor L'inverno - I. Allegro Non Molto - Good for picking up details (I swear you can hear the texture of the strings) and dynamic range. You can substitute in Royal Crown Revue - Beyond the Sea, depending on your taste in music.
04 Limited Sazabys - Brain sugar - Good for hitting headphones with a wall of noise. The drums and guitar lines are too present in the mix and some headphones just make the mix sound muddy. You can substitute in State Champs - Elevated.
Dua Lipa - Don't Start Now - Good check on the mid to upper bass to see how elevated they are.
Major Lazer - Lean On; Taylor Swift - After Glow - Both oversaturate the mid to sub bass. Good way to see how far down your cans can go.
All Time Low - Remembering Sunday - good way to see how headphones handle male and female vocals

I agree with both of you and think that it shows that amps really don't matter because that amp is not neutral. There's nothing wrong with that, I also buy tube amps precisely because with the right tubes they are gooey and do not sound neutral either.

I also found the spark to sound warm but I can't stand it in high gain. Staging is way off to the point of being obnoxious. In low gain it sounds fine though. I would say it's all just placebo but I can say with confidence the treble is noticeably less fatiguing than what I'm used to. So much so I can listen to my edition 10 at mid/high volume without EQ on it and it's bearable, something that's impossible to do on my other amps.

What do you mean, sorry?
>In tests like you mentioned, there are songs where I notice the difference and some where I don't.
So in which songs did you notice the difference and how many times were you able to correctly identify them?
