    Ranking Top IEM's

    So I thought it would be a pretty cool thing if Head-Fi could have a ranking of the top 20/10 IEM's contributed by completely user base. I think there should be a voting system of some kind where you rank your top 10/20 and it is put into the system. The average vote will be the outcome. I think...
