I’m laughing now, but…

My dog knocked a glass of apple cider onto my …u12t, Sony M-9, and Project Red. They didn’t get too wet, just a splash. I dried them, now have them locked up with silica packets.

Is there anything else I should do? How long should I wait to test if they’re working?

Thank you!

    Did they get on the drivers themselves, the connecters or just the tips? Sorry to hear all 3 of your iems got swamped… Dry them on a towel but try not to press on them too hard especially if it hit the driver part. Hope theyre salvagable, thats a lot of coin to lose in an instant, bro.

      Thank you. I was lucky . It appears just parts of the cables and a drop or two on the outer shells. They sound great. Tips weren’t even wet.

    Not relevant but how do you feel the Red fares up against the other two TOTL IEMs?

      This is just a quick subjective impression on one song, Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd:

      1. Project Red- nice on the initial mono segment and background voice effects, nice balance with initial guitars, vocal well placed in mix, slide guitar in background, kick drum (mid bass?) seems slightly heavy at times, percussion is balanced and ‘inoffensive’ (?), nice overall tonal balance

      2. Sony M-9 - initial AM-effects initially sound louder; the guitar solo comes in nicely over the top, slide guitar seems a bit more present; kick drum seems less present, with higher percussion a bit more ‘tinny’, overall maybe a little less dynamic contrast vs the Project Red.

      3. U12t - needs less power, more sensitive; initial background effects are more clear; fingers on guitar strings more evident; slide guitar seems more present; no tinny quality to upper percussion; mid bass has a nice kick, but not overpowering; overall clarity/details and balance is spot on; better separation between instruments; fade at the end more pronounced

      So, my ranking:

      1. U12t
      2. Project Red
      3. Sony M-9

    Quit impressive for your dog to hit all three lol. I’d tell you sugary liquid is a nightmare when it gets to electronic. Gunk and moisture still retains no matter how long you dry it.
