Q: Redux best practices for PropTypes location was wondering if it's better to put propType definitions in the containers with all the prop logic or the presenter where the props will actually be used.  I can see arguments for both.
In the containers allows you to keep track of all the prop logic all in one place
while in the presenters confirms they will be used properly.
Thanks for the input.
Update for clarity
example-container.js
import PropTypes from 'prop-types';
import { connect } from 'react-redux';

import ButtonPresenter from './some/file';

const mapStateToProps = (store, props) => {
  return ({
    example: Number(5),
  });
};

const mapDispatchToProps = (dispatch, props) => ({
  onClick: id => { console.log(id) },
});

ButtonPresenter.propTypes = {
  onClick: PropTypes.func.isRequired,
  example: PropTypes.number.isRequired,
}

const ButtonContainer = connect(mapStateToProps, mapDispatchToProps)(BoxPresenter);

export default ButtonContainer;

pros
all logic is in 1 location
2 different containers could work with a presenter
cons
presenter may need a type not known by just the container array for map

example-presenter.js
import React from 'react';
import PropTypes from 'prop-types';

const ButtonPresenter = ({example, onClick}) => {
  return (
    <button onClick={onClick}>{example}</button>
  );
};

ButtonPresenter.propTypes = {
  onClick: PropTypes.func.isRequired,
  example: PropTypes.number.isRequired,
}

export default ButtonPresenter;

pros
propTypes written in 1 place for everything using the presenter
cons
not as flexable, propTypes could be seen as logic then logic is in both container and presenters

A: If it's a Class Component, I like to leave the propTypes and defaultProps at the very top after the class creation:
import React from 'react';
import PropTypes from 'prop-types';

class MyComponent extends React.Component {
    static propTypes = {
        prop1: PropTypes.string.isRequired,
        prop2: PropTypes.bool,
        prop3: PropTypes.func
    };

    defaultProps = {
        prop2: false,
        prop3: () => {}
    };

    constructor() {}
    render() {}
}

export default MyComponent;

Or for a Functional Component, I like to create the variables and leave them after the imports:
import React from 'react';
import PropTypes from 'prop-types';

const propTypes = {
    prop1: PropTypes.string.isRequired,
    prop2: PropTypes.bool,
    prop3: PropTypes.func
};

const defaultProps = {
    prop2: false,
    prop3: () => {}
};

const MyComponent = props => {

}

MyComponent.propTypes = propTypes;
MyComponent.defaultProps = defaultProps;

export default MyComponent;

So it makes very clear what you should pass to the component via props. It's kind of a Summary for your component.

A: I don't see the relation between Redux and PropTypes on your question.
Anyway I would specify PropTypes on any React component that would be likely to be reused/consumed. It doesn't make sense to me to do it on the highest components that are bound to the store
This could be opinion based though
[edited:]
I might be missing something but afaik only the root component (higher on the hierarchy) should be bound to the store. Therefore I don't see how you are going to consume it anywhere else and thus pass properties to it. Summarising, only the second snippet makes sense to me, the API of the component is self contained within the file, making the contract clear. eiffel.com/values/design-by-contract

Pennsylvania: Monroe County man, Eddie Pace, guilty in heroin conspiracy to distribute
The United States Attorney's Office for the Middle District of Pennsylvania, announced that Eddie Pace, age 44, of East Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania, pleaded guilty today to conspiracy to distribute more than 100 grams of heroin and more than 500 grams of cocaine, before Senior U.S. District Court Judge James M. Munley.
According to United States Attorney David J. Freed, Pace admitted to committing the offense between 2012 and 2015. Pace also admitted to conspiring with others to travel to Patterson, New Jersey, to obtain multiple bricks of heroin which were then sold to sub-distributors and customers from Pace's barbershop in the Monroe County area of Pennsylvania, and elsewhere. One hundred grams of heroin is equivalent to approximately 4,000 retail bags of heroin.
Pace was one of seven people charged by a federal grand jury in a superseding indictment in March 2015. The others charged—Shawnette Isaac, Daryl Trent, Myron Owens, William Young, Catherine Abbey, and Anton Woodson—all previously entered guilty pleas in the case. Trent was recently sentenced to 90 months' imprisonment on drug and gun charges, and Isaac was recently sentenced to 30 months' imprisonment for her role in the drug conspiracy. The other defendants are awaiting sentencing.
Judge Munley ordered a presentence report to be completed, and scheduled Pace's sentencing for December 14, 2018.
Public domain photo/Psychonaught
The case was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Pennsylvania State Police, and local police from Monroe County. Assistant U.S. Attorney Francis P. Sempa is prosecuting the case.
This case is part of Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN), a program bringing together all levels of law enforcement and the communities they serve to reduce violent crime and make our neighborhoods safer for everyone. Attorney General Jeff Sessions reinvigorated PSN in 2017 as part of the Department's renewed focus on targeting violent criminals, directing all U.S. Attorney's Offices to work in partnership with federal, state, local and tribal law enforcement and the local community to develop effective, locally based strategies to reduce violent crime.
This case was also brought as part of a district wide initiative to combat the nationwide epidemic regarding the use and distribution of heroin. Led by the United States Attorney's Office, the Heroin Initiative targets heroin traffickers operating in the Middle District of Pennsylvania and is part of a coordinated effort among federal, state and local law enforcement agencies to locate, apprehend, and prosecute individuals who commit heroin related offenses.
The maximum penalty under federal law is life in prison, a term of supervised release following imprisonment, and a fine. There is also a mandatory minimum penalty of ten years' imprisonment. Under the Federal Sentencing Guidelines, the Judge is also required to consider and weigh a number of factors, including the nature, circumstances and seriousness of the offense; the history and characteristics of the defendant; and the need to punish the defendant, protect the public and provide for the defendant's educational, vocational and medical needs. For these reasons, the statutory maximum penalty for the offense is not an accurate indicator of the potential sentence for a specific defendant.

Bosnian Islamist Arrested in Croatia Handed to Austria
A suspected Islamic jihadist on Interpol's Red List was arrested on the Bosnian-Croatian border and secretly extradited to Austria, local media reported on Monday.
Elvira M. Jukic
BIRN http://www.balkaninsight.com/en/article/islamic-extremists-interrupt-prayer-at-a-sarajevo-mosque
The 49-year-old Bosnian citizen, sought by Austrian authorities, is believed to be part of an Austrian-based network that has been recruiting people from the Balkans and organizing their transfer to battlefields in Iraq and Syria.
He was arrested last December while trying to cross from Bosnia into Croatia at the Bosanski Brod border crossing. After spending a month in jail in the Croatian town of Pozega, he was extradited to Austria in mid-January, media reported, adding that it was all shrouded in secrecy for operational reasons.
The suspect reportedly came from Gornja Maoca, a village in the north of Bosnia that is a base for a small group of Islamic radicals and their families.
One of the leaders of radical Islamists from northwest Bosnia, Husein Bosnic, also known as Bilal, meanwhile appeared at the start of his trial on Monday in Sarajevo, where he pleaded not guilty.
Bosnic was arrested in September 2014 for public encouragement of terrorist activities, as well as for recruiting terrorist groups and organizing their transfer to battlefields in the Middle East.
News about the new arrest of an alleged Islamic militant, the beginning of Bosnic's trial as well as the appearance of three Islamic radicals wearing ISIS T-shirts in Sarajevo last Friday, raised new public concerns about the presence of Islamic radicals in the Balkans.
These concerns have increased across the region since the terrorist attack in Paris earlier this month.
A senior Bosnian security official told Balkan Insight on Monday that due to the increased risk of activities of radical Islamists, screening measures in Bosnia and most other countries in the region will be tightened. He refused to provide any details for operational reasons.
According to the Austrian daily Die Presse, a total of 160 suspected jihadists from Austria have traveled to Syria or Iraq or have been stopped on the way there. Most are young men with little education.
Bosnian security experts said that over the past half year or so, around the same number of Bosnian citizens have joined forces of the so-called Islamic State, or those of Al-Qaeda, fighting in the battlefields in Iraq or Syria. A few dozen have already been reported killed.

But all I do is talk to the lions
I slept until 6:20 today, which is the latest I have slept to in 2020. I've been up later and later, and I guess it caught up to me today. Normally I am up somewhere around five. It's very rare for me to sleep until six. There is too much to do, fight through, create, and also I have been writing while I sleep, and that process is at a close, so my mind and body say, "get up." How to explain the writing while I sleep thing? It used to be that ideas would come to me as I slept. I wrote, for instance, "First Responder" while asleep. Also, "Jacks." The first and last stories in Cheer Pack: Stories. Also, "Find the Edges," from Harper's and in Cheer Pack as well.
That one was actually a combo. I had about a page and half of prose, which had been lying around for more than fifteen years. That page and a half had been the start of a story that was going to be part of a trilogy of stories, one of which was "Send Me Your Pillow," the last story in Between Cloud and Horizon. I didn't want to throw it out, even though it wasn't anything. I came up with a lot of "Edges" while I was asleep, then I found that old, seemingly useless scrap. I built what I had come up with while asleep into the scrap. Or built it off of the scrap. How did I do this? I know things that wouldn't seem like a person would know. I know when something is going to prove vital later. Whether that's an idea I have, a phrase. It's an out-of-body type of awareness. I call it the universe secret. A secret between me and the universe. Universe whispering in my ear. It's been part of my process, as such, for a long time. It's just a given of my life. I've never questioned it. It's how it is for me. When there is no readily apparent rhyme or reason, there still is for me, on a level beyond me, which I'm tapped into. They probably don't teach that in MFA programs. One of the many differences. I took the scrap, took what I had written while asleep, and in less than an hour I had "Find the Edges."
The writing process while I'm asleep is more involved now. I'm going through versions of the story, I'm coming up with the titles, the names, I'm creating sentences and removing them, creating others and knowing they'll stand. I'm aware of what is happening as I sleep. There will be a piece coming soon in The Smart Set that looks at one of the ways I first began to write while asleep.
I pitched pitched two op-ed ideas (hockey one, and one about Cape Cod as the perfect setting for art), and pitched two this morning (why MLB should write off the 2020 season, the sporting element of hunting people digitally now and "ending" lives and why it is more dangerous than it has ever been to speak and write in America, which is the single most terrifying thing in this country right now). I pitched this excellent feature idea about Beethoven's late string quartets and how they can make you a better person. Also ideas about a police-free state and Welles's Touch of Evil; "The Most Dangerous Game"; a prescient episode of The Twilight Zone for the Fourth of July; Fourth of July-related poetry; the best adaptation of a Ray Bradbury story which gets around the problems of his purple prose for his centennial; several Charlie Parker ideas; an Ornette Coleman idea. I pitched a piece on the Augustus Saint-Gaudens sculpture that was just defaced in the Common. I pitched another on our era of the amateur-auteur and the iPhone-ing of violence, with a look at the Maysles brothers' Gimme Shelter, marking its fiftieth anniversary. I pitched what would be a very funny piece about my love for Christopher Cross's "Sailing"--yes, it is true, and I am finally ready to out myself as a fan of this piece of MOR cheese--and how it pertains to this COVID-19 summer. I reached out to the Cape Cod Times about maybe doing an interview regarding Buried on the Beaches. These are all things I have to do (and then write; a writer would take a month to do a feature for a magazine; I will usually take an hour or two; people really like that George Floyd/John Coltrane piece--it was written in twenty minutes; because I have to get to what is next) while writing the books and the stories, updating this journal, to have the money coming in, to continue and win this war. It is so many things at once. So much production and so many forms of production at once. The tasks, in sum total, are well past Herculean. I sent "The Roll of Words" to a few places. I spoke to Tailwinds about some review copy stuff for Meatheads.
Of this I am certain--if there is money and marketing behind me, all of these books will sell in vast quantities. I believe the sum total will be an unprecedented quantity in the end. The problem is not the work or what the work can do, the work's potential mass appeal, and then the power of that work, which is a unique, almost overwhelming, power. The work is not limited by any limitations therein; and there is not just something for everyone, there is much for everyone, because there are so many different forms of work here. There are people who can be ardent fans of the whole thing--the writer, the artist--and there are people who can just focus in on the fiction, or a kind of the fiction, and people who can focus in on music, or people who can focus in on the sports, the ideas, or if you want humor, or the emotional gut punch, the Beatles stuff, memoir, truths expressed by the only person who is going to say certain truths right now, whatever you want, you will find it here, and you will find a better version of that thing than you will anywhere else. The problem is entirely visibility. People are not aware of any of this. They're not aware of the books, because of the blacklist and the embargo of any coverage when it comes to me. Never mind being hyped, being on "You must read this this summer" lists, awards, etc.
I've known for a bit that I'm sitting on three short stories that will be as good as anything I've ever done, major works. Two are underway, one is largely figured out in my head. I go into a week, I know I have these works, they are the major works I am sitting on, and then boom, I write "The Roll of Words," which is in that category, and things just stack and stack. I'd say it's an embarrassment of riches--who has this many works of art, who just makes them all the time?--but it's a problem of pain, of frustration. It's like, "Oh, great, another one that I can't do anything with." Something else to offer a Sy Safransky at The Sun, publisher of that ridiculous "Donkey at the Gates of Heaven" that so many of you wrote me about saying it was the most laughable thing you had ever seen--with some of you asking me if I made it up, to make a point (how could I do that?)--which he'll ignore, because he hates me. The hate for me, at this juncture, overrides their concern for the quality of their magazine. Obviously "Fitty," "Six Feet Away," "Jute," "Dunedin," "Excelsior," "Skip Shack," make your magazine a better magazine, as does the inclusion of the writer who writes for everyone, who is doing things no on has done before, on a weekly basis, and makes your product a better product, but you are dealing with the power trips of which I recently wrote, broken people, envy, hate, incompetence, etc.
Now, you might say, "You said that about this guy on the blog." I did. After twenty-five years of experiencing what I experienced, witnessing what I witnessed. A quarter of a bloody century. I mean, come on. It's obviously not the work or the fit of the work. I didn't just offer you 100 stories. I offered you, over the years, 100 stories that were all composed in completely different voices, forms. You can't do the "stylistically you're no fit" thing, because almost every writer has one single way they write, and they do it every time out, so if that's not a fit, that's not a fit. But not this writer. No one has ever written with greater range, and I have given you my full range (which is also constantly expanding). Safransky, by the way, was offered "Find the Edges," the Harper's story. More than 100 of these people were offered it. Think about that. Have you read the story? If you don't read this journal, and you've read that story, it's impossible to believe it was offered to 100 venues and not one of them took it. If you read this journal, and you read that story, it's just more proof of what is happening here. You play fair with me, I don't say a word (other than to plug the work in the venue, probably talk about it on the radio). I move forward. I give you more great work. You look good, your magazine is improved, I cross a story off my list of ones I have to move. I am going places, and as I get to those places, when you think it is worth your while, for your venue, your brand, your bottom line, you can say, "We were the venue that first published such and such story." You can continue to hate me, if you wish, I can have absolutely no respect for you, but this shouldn't be about any of that.

Q: How effective / dangerous is it to use code generation for unit tests for a simple finite state machine? In a current project, I am dealing with a client who insists that code generation is evil for unit testing. Some of the technical/evaluation staff on their team are extremely experienced developers so this surprises me. So much so, that after seeing their profiles, I am soliciting community opinion on a subject I would not otherwise question (i.e. automation).
The title refers to code generation for creating unit tests. That can be done to various extents depending on the scenario. I wrote this particular library myself and consider it to be very simple in terms of branching, complexity, maintainability, etc. An abstract is listed below to illustrate the same.
The library in question is a generic finite state machine that makes use of two enumerations to determine a list of possible states and commands. Commands are used to specify an abstract transaction while an explicit arbitrary state may also be requested without a command as long as it is legal. Examples of states include Processing, Cancelled, WaitingForUserInput, etc. Examples of commands include WakeUp, Sleep, StartProcessing, etc.
The decleration is as follows:
// Both [TState] and [TCommand] will ALWAYS be enumerations.
public abstract class StateMachineBase<TState, TCommand>: IDisposable
{
    public delegate void DelegateStart (StateMachineBase<TState, TCommand> sender, EventArgs e);
    public delegate void DelegateStop (StateMachineBase<TState, TCommand> sender, EventArgs e);
    public delegate void DelegateTransitionRequest (StateMachineBase<TState, TCommand> sender, TransitionRequestEventArgs<TState, TCommand> e);
    public delegate void DelegateTransitionComplete (StateMachineBase<TState, TCommand> sender, TransitionCompletedEventArgs<TState, TCommand> e);

    public event DelegateStart OnStart = null;
    public event DelegateStop OnStop = null;
    public event DelegateTransitionRequest OnTransitionRequest = null;
    public event DelegateTransitionComplete OnTransitionComplete = null;

    private readonly object _SyncRoot = new object(); // Thread safety.
    public bool Running { get; private set; }
    public TState State { get; private set; }
    private TCommand Command { get; set; }
    private List<Transition<TState, TCommand>> AllowedTransitions { get; set; }

    // Will not work if the machine is running.
    protected void AddTransition (TState from, TState to, TCommand command) { ... }
    public void Start () { ... }
    public void Stop () { ... }
    public bool CanTransit (TState state) { ... }
    public bool CanTransit (TCommand command) { ... }
    public bool Request (TState state) { ... }
    public bool Request (TCommand command) { ... }
}

I do realize that in some cases, using code generation may defeat the purpose of writing unit tests but I am sure many developers do use it in specific scenarios. I figure, if I have written the library myself, I should be able to get the unit tests right whether by hand or reflection.
The question is, is it wise to use code generation in this case? If not, what unintended consequences could I be overlooking?

A: I believe very strongly that code generation makes sense for the creation of the test suite infrastructure, but not the business logic.  The infrastructure (and you have an example of that in your example above) must be implemented a certain way, but it should be humans (preferably humans who know what they're doing) who decide on the number of test cases, the purpose for each test case and finally the implementation of the test case logic.
I would talk to your colleugues to get their opinion on the split between non-negotiable infrastructure code and the stuff that's let up to the test case author.  You should be able to sell them on using code generation for the former and on hand-coding the latter.

A meeting has been arranged by Economic Development Director Greg Smith with PGE for next week in order for Baker County Commissioners as well as Baker City Representatives to discuss the opportunity to utilize Baker County bio mass in their generation for electricity.
According to Commissioner Mark Bennett with the recent fires and the upcoming "Face of the Elkhorns Project" Baker County is well situated to provide a significant source for the green power requirements of PGE.
If successful this partnership would not only provide a market, but Baker County jobs in the removal, transportation and processing of the material.


64 Audio has a special place in my heart.
Perhaps that's an odd way of introducing a review, as it makes me sound totally biased, but allow me to explain.
My first experience with the company – which was called 1964 Ears back then – involved one of their very first designs.
It was a triple-driver custom in-ear monitor which I purchased as a regular customer and subsequently reviewed – just for fun – way back in 2010. The established competition (mainly Ultimate Ears and Westone) wanted nearly $1,000 for custom-molded triple-driver models, while 1964 Ears sold their offering for less than half that price – with very little sonic compromise involved.
Two years later, the company overhauled their entire lineup, with the new V3 model taking the place of their original triple-driver offering. I purchased and reviewed the V3 (again, just for the fun of it), finding that it improved on its predecessor in nearly every aspect. Now the company wasn't just keeping up with the more expensive and well established competition, but actually surpassing them. In a highly competitive CIEM market, the V3 managed to stand out as a "budget" champion, while notably keeping the same sub-$500 USD price tag as its predecessor.
Years have past since then. The headphone industry has grown rapidly, and the "niche" custom IEM market in particular has really exploded. There are dozens of brands out there which didn't exist when 1964 Ears first launched at the turn of the decade. 1964 Ears also grew during that time, moving to bigger and better facilities on more than one occasion to keep up with customer demand. They also rebranded to 64 Audio, which I feel is a definite improvement over the original name.
So why do they hold a special place in my heart? Well, over all these years, my collection has grown to roughly thirty sets of custom IEMs. Some of these were sent to me for review purposes, while many were purchased for my own use. I've got dirt-cheap models that sold for under $200, bespoke hand-carved wood designs costing multiple thousands, and quite a few in between those extremes. But guess which pair gets the most consistent use?
Yep, the old 1964 Ears/64 Audio V3. It's quite possibly the best sub-$450 USD I've ever spent on an audio product.
I wear them to the gym on a regular basis. I throw them in a locker, I drop them, I snag the cable on the weight racks, and I rarely give them a proper sound-tube cleaning. I drive them straight from a Samsung Galaxy S8, or via Noble Audio BTS Bluetooth adapter, or a Sony NW-ZX2, or occasionally at home using a $20,000 USD audio system. The V3 never complains, never acts up, and never sounds anything less than impressive. It's my sonic oasis, the in-ear equivalent of a venerable Sennheiser HD650 – with which it happens to share a very similar tonal balance.
And that is why 64 Audio occupies a special place in my audio hierarchy. But make no mistake; that's a past accomplishment. There's nothing saying any future products can't go downhill. In fact, having such a deep connection with a prior model arguably puts that much more pressure on all future designs.
This may be the reason why I sat on the sidelines for years, as 64 Audio came out with one new model after another. But when I saw their A18t ($2,999 USD) sporting an unbelievable 18 drivers-per-side, using proprietary balanced armatures and other patent-pending technology, I figured the time was right. Would the company earn my respect once again?
The A18t 64 Audio A18t is the top model in 64 Audio's custom series. It uses 18 balanced armature drivers per side to cover the full sonic spectrum, including a proprietary "TIA" driver covering high-frequencies. TIA stands for Tubeless In-ear Audio and it offers a new take on the familiar balanced-armature design. These unique TIA drivers reside at the very tip of each earpiece, protected by a metallic mesh screen. The theory is that by firing directly into the ear from as close as physically possible, the TIA driver avoids distortion and resonances introduced by the tubes that would otherwise be used with traditional balanced armatures. I find it interesting that 64 Audio talks up this new technology yet doesn't use it for the rest of their driver array – perhaps there are trade-offs involved that make it only worthwhile for the high-frequency unit.
Of the remaining "standard" drivers, eight are tasked with low-frequency reproduction, eight for midrange, one for upper-mids, and the TIA driver on highs as previously mentioned. This four-way configuration is theoretically less advanced than some of the competition – most notably the eight-way crossover used by Empire Ears in their excellent Zeus XR which has been my reference for a while now. Will that be a factor in the resulting sound? We'll see.
Another interesting bit of proprietary technology used by 64 Audio is their Apex system. Apex stands for Air Pressure Exchange. Through the use of special ported inserts, the system aims to relieve pneumatic pressure which builds-up in the ear canal due to the sealed nature of a custom IEM. The end result is supposedly safer and less fatiguing on your ear drums, with the added benefit of improved sound quality. The proprietary venting system accomplishes this task without compromising much in terms of isolation – depending on the Apex module used, we still get 15 or 20dB worth of isolation. That's less than a traditional sealed custom IEM, but on par or better than most universal solutions using typical silicone tips.
64 Audio initially licensed a similar technology called Adel, from a 3rd party named Asius Technologies. Several years into their venture, things apparently went sour causing 64 Audio to branch out with their own design instead. Interestingly enough, Asius then switched over to work with Empire Ears – an obvious competitor for 64 Audio. That partnership lasted a few years and yielded seemingly great results... yet I notice the latest batch of Empire Ears products is not available with Adel modules. I have yet to see any official word about Empire Ears severing ties with Asius, so I can't say for sure where things really stand. But the fact that the entire lineup omits the very popular Adel option seems to at least hint that the two are no longer working together.
Also note that InnerFidelity covered the original Adel concept back in the day and found it somewhat questionable in terms of backing up the claims of "safer listening". I've also spoken to several Audiologists who were generally quite skeptical about the idea. That said, anecdotal evidence from a few different friends is that the Adel/Apex systems do in fact offer tinnitus relief during lengthy jam sessions. Placebo? Maybe. In any case, I personally feel these systems make a significant contribution to the resulting sound quality. So, while I'd like to see more definitive scientific evidence to back up the safety claims, I do feel these systems are nonetheless worthwhile, even if solely for their sonic properties.
But let's get back to 64 Audio. The company has a useful "Designer" page allowing users to play with different build options. From an entry level dual-driver model with no frills, to a fully loaded A18t with custom flourishes, it's all available on the site for preview and pricing. Fancy faceplates will cost a bit extra, as is the standard with custom IEMs. I got mine with the striking Zebra Wood – one of a dozen available wood faceplates – and the final product looks absolutely stunning.
Worth noting - the company uses 3D printing technology to build the shells. This is different from the former (and more traditional) process, and supposedly provides a more precise, consistent fit. The drawback is that only five shell colour choices exist, as opposed to the old method which allowed for a virtually unlimited colour palate. Still, veteran competitor Ultimate Ears also does 3D shell printing and at this time only offers a single shell option (clear). So 64 Audio is ahead on that front.
Build quality on my set is about as close to perfection as I've seen from a custom IEM. There are no air bubbles or other anomalies to be found, and despite the absurd complexity of cramming 18 drivers into such a tiny shell, it all appears surprisingly tidy.
Lastly, I have to mention the unique storage case, which is also 3D printed. It's roughly the same size as the usual "Pelican" style case that many other brands bundle with their custom IEMs. Inside, it's a whole different animal, with customized pathways for cable routing, cutouts for holding spare Apex modules, and separate, lightly padded chambers for the IEMs themselves. It's actually quite brilliant - assuming you're willing to spend the extra 45 seconds to properly stow the IEMs after each listen. 64 Audio even offers customization for a small fee. Simple art is possible, though I suspect some images may be too complex to implement. All in all it's nice to see a company innovate in a seemingly mundane area such as this.
Not familiar with totl in-ears, but pretty wowed by this article. Happy we have an in-ear guy in John who's heard everything.
It's an interesting thought experiment to consider a model like this for mixing and mastering. In-ears seem to remove the most variables and get you as close to the material as possible. That could be optimal for translation purposes. Easiest image to wrap your brain around.
I'd imagine there's less pair-to-pair variability given the way in-ears are designed. John can you comment on that at all perhaps?
Further- is custom cabling easy with these? How's that tend to work?
Pair to pair variability: we all have differences in the size/shape/curve of the ear canal. So still some variables, but certainly less than headphones/speakers.
Custom cables: very easy. This 2-pin connection system has been the standard for over a decade. There are some alternatives nowadays, but this remains the baseline that every custom cable maker will know.
I recall reading your writing about the noble kaisers. Can't remember if it was the encore or the one before. But I recall you noting their "reachability". That you tended to choose them. X factor. You said this here about the 64 Audio V3 as well of course.
I find this really important. I think the subconscious probably has more to say about what is "natural" for us. It may not even be a ruler-flat signature, but something simply easy for the brain to process. A "grace" to the signature.
This is key for me.
Can you comment on how these A18t's feel in that regard?
...since I tried a model from Noble. I still use the original Kaiser 10 (not Encore) on a regular basis; still an exceptional sounding IEM.
The 18t is more even-handed and generally (but not completely) flat. So it really isn't a good comparison with the K10 - each has a very different target market. It's more revealing and truthful than the K10, which tends to make recordings sound perhaps a bit better than they really are. That said I do find the A18t engaging in its own way.
...reading about your experience. I've heard a lot from people about how the 64 Audio IEMs are quite special, but I've not delved very deep into what is now available.
I hope you continue to write future reviews in this manner, or even just write about your experiences with audio equipment in general.
Indeed, 64 Audio IEMs are pretty exceptional. I like how the TIA technology has now trickled down the line, including their $999 quad driver model. That puts an expensive flagship like the A18t in context - it's not just a killer IEM, but also a test bed for new tech.
I plan on sticking around at InnerFidelity, hopefully covering the same stuff I always have: custom IEMs, headphone amps, the occasional DAC with integrated headphone out, portable audio players, and maybe a desktop speaker once in a while (if I find something really worth discussing).
Nice review! It has a lot of good insight into IEMs.
64 Audio must to try harder.
I've owned the A3 with woo audio wa8 and thought the pairing was amazing, and thought that i wanted more of what i loved so i got an "upgrade" to the a11, and boy was i bored. The a12 was so boring...fortunately the a18t sounds like it has what the a12 was missing, just costs so bloody much though.
Wondering if you're heard this IEM John. Curious about how it compares to the A18t.
Sorry, have not heard that one yet. It is interesting that they have a sort of "co-flagship" with a totally different setup. But not being available in custom form kills the deal for me.


Amec Foster Wheeler has been awarded a US$604 million engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) fixed price contract for part of a US$1.85 billion methanol plant being developed by Yuhuang Chemical Inc (YCI), a US-based subsidiary of China's Shandong Yuhuang Chemical Company Co. Ltd. The first phase of the project, which includes the construction of a 1.8 million-tonne per annum methanol plant, is being built at YCI's 1,300-acre site in St. James Parish, Louisiana, U.S.
The contract award reflects Amec Foster Wheeler's strategy to grow both its chemicals business - as demand increases due to comparatively low oil and gas prices and its EPC portfolio. It follows the successful completion of an earlier phase of work at the plant awarded to Amec Foster Wheeler in 2015, covering engineering, project management, procurement and early construction services. The deep knowledge of the plant gained over the last two years, coupled with the recent local construction experience of Amec Foster Wheeler's Power & Process business, gives an advantage for both contractor and client. The Power & Process business has successfully executed US$3 billion of lump sum EPC work in the last three years.
In this latest contract award, Amec Foster Wheeler will combine the expertise and skills of its Oil, Gas & Chemicals and its Power & Process businesses to carry out specific infrastructure and utilities engineering work, the procurement of bulk items and selected tagged equipment, and the construction of the methanol plant.
In line with the 'full notice to proceed', US$604 million will be added to the Company's order book in the second half of the year.
We are very pleased to continue working with Amec Foster Wheeler to complete on time and budget the project in order to start the distribution of the IMPCA* quality methanol produced at the plant in Q4-2019.
I'm delighted that we have been entrusted to continue supporting YCI on the largest grassroots foreign direct investment by a Chinese company on the Gulf Coast of the United States. Winning this contract is a further demonstration of how we are leveraging our multi-market capabilities to better serve our clients, extend our presence in high-growth areas, such as the chemicals market, and contribute to the growth of our order book.
We look forward to working with YCI to meet the project's challenges, and delivering safely and successfully this new world-scale facility to operate at full capacity.

Total EMEA external storage systems revenues fell 4.9% on year to US$1.64 billion in the first quarter of 2016, according to the EMEA Quarterly Enterprise Storage Systems Tracker 1Q16 from IDC. The capacity shipped in the quarter also dropped 3.5%, indicating a move away from external storage to internal storage in the region.
For the first quarter, the traditional hard disk array (HDD) segment in EMEA declined for yet another quarter, falling 23% in user value. The flash market, on the other hand, recorded another bumper quarter, with all-flash systems growing 96% annually and hybrid flash arrays growing at a more modest 4% on year. Bucking the overall trend of a decline in capacity shipped, flash arrays recorded triple-digit growth in capacity this quarter, accounting for nearly 60% of total shipments.
"Flash is the only vivid note in yet another lackluster quarter characterized by unstable emerging markets and a negative seasonality effect," said Silvia Cosso, senior research analyst, European Storage Research, IDC. "The additional slowdown is due to the portfolio transition by major vendors, but also due to investments put on hold as they wait to see how the large acquisitions announced last year will materialize. On a positive note, the exchange rate effect was milder than in the previous quarters."
The Western European external storage market continued its decline for another quarter, falling 4% on year in the first quarter, due to the continuing downward trend in the traditional storage segment. Western Europe's storage revenues exceeded US$1.2 billion and capacity shipped dropped 11% on year to 2.18EB.
"External storage continued to decline in 2016 in Western Europe as traditional storage arrays struggle to attract investment," said Archana Venkatraman, senior analyst, European Storage Research, IDC. "The double-digit drop in capacity in the first quarter demonstrates how mature Western European organizations are moving to newer, more intuitive storage technologies such as internal or server-based storage to meet their capacity requirements. In the next few quarters we expect to see continued growth in flash storage and a push to internal storage as organizations take an integrated approach to their infrastructure to take it closer to application needs."
Although the external storage market in Central and Eastern Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (CEMA) continued its downward trend (-7%) at the beginning of 2016, there was some improvement over previous quarters, mostly coming from the Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) subregion. Regional storage revenues reached US$393.7 million and capacity saw double-digit growth to 740PB.
The CEE storage market was impacted by the seasonal effect, with most countries in the region having a slower quarter than the stronger fourth quarter of 2015. Russia, however, benefited from an upturn in investment by government and large businesses in high-end storage projects, which boosted its growth and brought the region to almost flat performance.
In the Middle East and Africa (MEA), likewise, only the largest countries - Israel, Turkey, South Africa, and United Arab Emirates - recorded revenue growth due to realized infrastructure projects by the public, telecommunication, and financial sectors, while vendors in the other countries suffered from delayed projects and still relied on run-rate business. Flash-optimized storage business continued to thrive, seeing triple-digit growth and accounting for more than 50% of the market (following suit with Western Europe).
"The coming quarters will be challenging for the incumbents as the CEMA storage market will have its ups and downs," said Marina Kostova, senior research analyst, Storage Systems, IDC CEMA. "Market performance will be boosted by a moderate recovery in the subdued storage demand. At the same time, the pace of adopting new storage technologies is accelerating and the source of growth is shifting from traditional storage arrays to alternative solutions. This will be a threat for some vendors and an opportunity for others, ultimately leading to changes in the regional competitive positioning."
