Yes!! Each their own!!I saw the EM10 described as having low dynamics with a dead and lifeless sound but ranked in the B tier, which should be very good.
Is there a mistake?

From what I'm hearing from my friends, it doesn't seem as great as what the Head-Fi hype men are claiming it to be.
For everyone else, I'll be returning to Singapore next month. So yeah, more stuff then.
Any feedback on the Sony M9 from your friends? Some are calling it an Andromeda killer. I do believe that it should be good, but I will wait til more people review it before believing that it's better than the Andros. But like everything here, a lot depends on preference of sound signature.

@crinacle I'm demoing the Jomo Flamenco now and I'd like to ask, which bass and treble setting did you use?
Were they both on or off?
Hi Collin, I got them. Not listened enough but S probably for me tooCE-5 are S+ to some of us
@crinacle where are all of the Final Audio IEMs on your ranking, even if they were measured in your other thread? Why haven't they been ranked?
- A (non-complete) list of IEMs that I've tried can be found on my measurements database.
- If you can tell, a lot of IEMs on the database (that I've tried) are not in this list. This is could be due to lack of interest or lack of enough ear time to make a proper decision on tier placement.
Nice! I went along to it today too crinacle. What were your impressions of the show as a whole out of curiosity? To me it felt a bit like a rat warren with rooms of 2CH gear all over the place. Some awfully nice gear though!Just got back from the Australian Hi-Fi & AV Show.

My impressions of the M9 & Z1Rs are fairly similar to yours, and considering how close they are in price (relatively speaking) I thought the Z1Rs absolutely spanked the M9s and is EASILY the one to go for out of that pair. Although they are very heavy and unwieldy, not sure I would buy a pair purely for that reason but others will feel differently. I guess worst case scenario if someone was to buy them blind and not get along with the ergonomics they'd sell very quickly in the classifieds for minimal loss.
The Z1Rs are a pretty unusual shape which I think will polarize people. A bit like the Andromedas all over again although these are even heavier.Yeah, I probably wouldn't get one out due to the long term comfort issues that I can see from a mile away.
Not really a fan of this show to be honest. Some of the rooms have abysmal acoustics; there was one room with a giant pillar blocking a third of a speaker. A lot of ringing and resonances too, hard to judge any of the 2ch gear as easily as head-fi gear.
