All the way down works for me.

Which has sweeter female vocals? Ref 1 or Dita?

I think the Dita Answer has sweeter vocals. The vocals on the Answer are more up front, and present. However my Ref.1 pair is young on hours at this point, and I am not using the uber expensive uber cable...

I find tips that sit an IEM a hair farther away sometimes gives a bigger stage as well.

Definitely agree there. It just becomes a juggling act with fit.

Yeah, with the tips pushed down about as far as they'll go, the fit is much better and more secure, with better seal. I think it's worth it to have them down that far just for those reasons alone.

I shorten my Ortofon tips (Using L at the moment). I find the sound more open and easier to get a good fit this way. Also a lesser chance of the end of the tips being compressed in the ears.

I think this is a complex question to answer as we all have different ear canal shape and size.  This very much depends on one to try and find the best fit/performance.  Agree?

Yup of coz. Just a  comment on what I did with mine. Tips go further down the stem this way for IEMs with larger bores. I have elephant ears and still feel like I "squash" the tips at times.

Of course not. What kind of person exaggerates in forums? I actually do have body fluids coming out my ears when I say something gives me ear-gasms. 
 
Jokes aside, I have pretty big earholes and not very pretty ears on the whole. I blame my paternal side for this mutation.

So, which ear tips that work best for you?

L Ortofon for wide bore IEMS. Snipped a little at the stem. I really want to try Spinfits but they seem next to impossible to find.
