Amazing work, it would be really useful to know what eartips were used for this measurement, or if you use a standard memory foam tip for all etc. many thanks šŸ™‚ ---

@listener: I have a question of understanding: If you do this for the Meze Empyrean II, will your result much differ from Resolves measurements and EQ settings from following thread? > [@Meze Empyrean 2 - Official Thread](https://forum.headphones.com/t/meze-empyrean-2-official-thread/22280): > > This is the place to discuss all things to do with the Meze Empyrean 2.

For the beginning of each preset it varies, but itā€™s usually somewhere centered in the mids. ---

Lovely, thank you very much! Could it be useful to include eartip information on further measurements and resulting EQā€™s? (as far as I understand they impact the frequency response a fair bit, and it could be useful to be able to use measurements as a more accurate basis for further tweaking) ---

But how do you work out the spot? Depending where you normalize it can make the graph look completely different. ---

I donā€™t know if you can EQ the Campfire Cascade or not. All the measurements were from ages ago. But if you can, that will be greatly appreciated thanks šŸ™‚ ---

If I had done most of these measurements myself, I would. But for most of the IEM measurements I donā€™t have that information. For the Hexa measurement I know thanks to Crin, Resolve, and an undisclosed 3rd source telling me they all used narrow tips that thatā€™s whatā€™s used. ---

I know its not the most scientific answer, but generally the only real ā€œrulesā€ I follow are that I want to normalize in a spot where the response is generally consistent across heads (so, between 400 Hz - 1 kHz) I want to be cutting more than Iā€™m boosting. Past that, honestly I just kinda go by vibes šŸ˜„ ---

Apologies, thereā€™s only one measurement I can find and thus the confidence in this EQ will be very low. # Campfire Cascade Confidence: VERY LOW Uses data from GRAS KB50xx (thanks to Crinacle) ![Campfire Cascade](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/headphones/original/3X/7/3/73ceaffb7a790d01867dc98c14d57893d0bfaf45.png) Preamp: -0.7 dB Filter 1: ON PK Fc 20 Hz Gain 1.5 dB Q 1.000 Filter 2: ON PK Fc 142 Hz Gain -9.5 dB Q 0.500 Filter 3: ON PK Fc 360 Hz Gain 4.0 dB Q 1.800 Filter 4: ON PK Fc 630 Hz Gain 1.1 dB Q 1.400 Filter 5: ON PK Fc 4350 Hz Gain 3.0 dB Q 3.000 Filter 6: ON PK Fc 5500 Hz Gain -5.2 dB Q 2.000 Filter 7: ON PK Fc 7500 Hz Gain 4.2 dB Q 2.000 Filter 8: ON PK Fc 10650 Hz Gain -10.0 dB Q 2.000 Adjust _every filter_ if they seem wrong, again I have very little confidence in this. ---

I wanted to spend some time with the LCD-5 preset before I commented, but I can now say with some confidence that it is the best preset I have ever heard on them, including some of my own and oratory1990ā€™s. Well done! I was admittedly skeptical, especially after trying some of the previous 5128 targets here. Of course, I still tweak it a bit towards my own taste. šŸ•¶ ---

> [@AudioTool](#): > > I was admittedly skeptical, especially after trying some of the previous 5128 targets here. Reading that back a day later and I want to clarify: I meant other 5128 based targets on this forum in other topics, NOT other 5128 based presets here in this topic. All of the presets I have tried from this topic have been so good, they are replacing the presets I was previously using. That includes Focal Clear, Hifiman HE6se V2, and Audeze LCD-5. The only exception is the Sennheiser HD 800 S, which I still use the preset below 500 hz and my own above 500 hz. ---

Yeah I have had good results EQing my Grado SR125x off of oratory1990ā€™s SR60e preset, so this doesnā€™t surprise me. Iā€™m definitely looking forward to trying your Average Grado preset soon.
