Yes I get it and I agree but I'll tell you my reasons why I think he and also possibly this joker guy are significant.
I think a lot comes down not to personal taste but aggressive marketing and conditioning. I've seen expensive gear that's plain ordinary in terms of quality - sound, interface, presentation. I think one should be able to buy good audio at say $1500 for iems that sound good - that 10% in the treble or soundstage that makes things great for someone. I personally am willing to ditch my personal taste in favor of something that sounds better overall, that I didn't know sounded that good before.
I don't consider myself an avid audiophile - there are people here who have auditioned tens or hundreds of iems and have been in it for years. But I didn't know I liked treble so much before hearing the Andromeda to discover sound that I didn't know I appreciated, having thought that I liked warm signature for most of my life. Turns out cold-sounding and bright signature is super if I can hear detailed, extended treble. Similarly, give me tight bass with a balanced sound signature of a good IEM and I'd be into it. It was exactly the case when I auditioned a Heir 10.0 with a special balanced cable yesterday - it doesn't have the treble of the Andromeda, but is it accurate in the lower mids and bass and does it convey technicality and neutrality? Yes, it does and for the things it does right, I consider it an overall better listening experience than the Andromeda.
My point is, with the marketing and pricing of most manufacturers, it gets deliberately confusing and we can't know. I can't argue with someone's tastes, but not all elements of quality are subjective, and then there's price. In my opinion, in the audiophile community, there are configurations that you can buy for $1,000 which will surpass $1,500 configurations in terms of SQ, usability and noise. Is my AK a great sound system? Yes, it is. Would I have paid the original price of GBP4,000? Probably not worth it, considering most people don't walk around with a spare sum for an entry-level car. Maybe next year, if I'm making $150k a year, I'd be thinking differently, but consistent reviewers like Crinacle help us understand how to spend our budget on better decisions.
And for what it's worth, I've come to appreciate his tierlist and concise reviews by listening to some of the tech he reviews. I'd be surprised if I like the Solaris better than the rank he's given it, even though I should be biased considering the money I've spent on the unit.
