crinacle's IEM Ranking List
Yeah. I went with my gut and bought the Nio. Best iem i've heard.
I also bought the sony ier-z1r and the fearless s8pro based on crinacle's reviews - a great pair of iems but for my tastes no match for the Nio.
So, you have to trust your own ears in the end..... this is why I'm not superstoked to spend $6k on the orilous trailli.

Ultimate Ears UE4 is no longer on Crinacle's list. Can any of you old-timers recommend an iem with a similar FR so I can use the comparison tool on his website? I know this answer is far from perfect but it may be an estimate.

I think UERM and Gaudio Nair might be something to look at graphs of.
@crinacle think you will be reviewing and ranking the new Shure Aonic 3, 4, and 5 IEMs? Really curious to see how those fare.

I'd be curious to find out how your journey goes with the UE4 and where you are going next. I know you've been really interested in hearing the UERM, but I think it's time is up. I hardly listen to my JH13 or UERM anymore since balanced armatures in general seem to have gotten much better for audiophile listening vs. hearing-aid-tech repurposed.
I don't remember what all you've tried - did you get in on the loaner for the Gaudio stuff?

Not too far off a normal distribution, interesting...
Great work, Crinnacle!

Statistics is a powerful tool once you have enough data. It's more or less normal distribution. There is no tail whatsoever as far as I see.
Now, I am more motivated to buy final e500.Hey all, here to use up some of my limited posting power on an ABSOLUTELY MASSIVE UPDATE:

A+ tone for the QKZ VK4 irrespective of price? Suggests a sorry state of affairs for the IEM industry on that front.
And still no Traillii measurements or ranking. Only the most revered IEM on the planet right now...
One could always help me poke Oriolus for a set, because I'm sure not going to buy it...
