Just for fun, here are two more sets of comparisons on same IEMs: andromeda gold and dunu dk3001 pro. Same alignment of axis scales and some y-shifts.
Black: Jude's GRAS
colored: Crinacle's 711-compliant rig.
Clearly, these two rigs are comparable (within small error margin and within ~6 kHz) since they comply with the same IEC standard. If rigs of the same standard are all incomparable just because they are different, targets such as DF and Harman will be completely useless. How much FR reflect the sound of an IEM is a different topic.

My order (2020) has been marked shipped !!
The Solaris SE has been discounted so it’s the same price as the 2020, a tricky choice...
So there is a big dip around 20K for 2020. What does this indicate?

I was hoping that they would deliver on Saturday. Maybe we'll get lucky and they will.

I got my Solaris 2020 and Andro 2020 today. Haven't really had much time to listen and compare them, but an initial quick listen I definitely prefer the Solaris 2020 over the Andro. I had been borrowing an OG Andro from a friend and loved it so much I ordered the Andro 2020 and then reading so much about the Solaris 2020 made me want to give that a try. I have to say the soundstage and imaging on the Solaris is on a whole different level than the Andro OG and even 2020. Haven't done any side by side with the Andro 2020 and OG. But I think the Solaris 2020 are definitely winners for me. Need to let them break in some but even out of the box I am loving them. I do get some driver flex upon insertion but I seem to get that from a lot of Hybrids I have tried. But so far balanced out of the Fiio M15 they sound amazing an a lot more of my preference than the Andro. I even think they have more clarity to them than the Andro does. But I might have to do some more detailed comparisons.
Bats are going to be furious!
Ergonomically 2020 feels better as it is smaller and shorter but SE looks much more premium with its fancy face plate.
Side by side you will instantly know which one should cost more. Sonically, SE seems to be a little more opened but considering
2020 is just a new out of the box, may require a little more burn in. I think CA did a good job retaining all good sound signature
within the smaller form factor. I always like the very well defined healthy bass frequencies of Solaris and 2020 surely has it also.
One thing I like about 2020 is that the sound doesn't get cut off having my head side on the pillow, so this is now my bed time IEM.

Haha, I was thinking the same thing. Hold that sucker down while I jam these earphones in so we can test.
