Shouldn’t Ara be somewhere on this list? The only one on these I’ve actually heard is Holocene, so I’m a little short on reference points.I think that Holocene would be a great choice for this, probably our most neutral IEM. Next up would likely be Andromeda 2019 & earlier, then Andromeda 2020 and Ponderosa.

Thanks! I have the andro 2019 and love it. Was thinking of upgrading to the fathom but haven’t had the chance to demo. Still probably will demo, but this info helps a lotI think that Holocene would be a great choice for this, probably our most neutral IEM. Next up would likely be Andromeda 2019 & earlier, then Andromeda 2020 and Ponderosa.

Need a comparison between Ponderosa and Fathom. Both are all using all BA's, no dynamics I think?

Can't help you with the comparison as I haven't heard Fathom, but yes both are all BA. Ponderosa has 5 and Fathom has 6.Ned a comparison between Ponderosa and Fathom. Both are all using all BA's, no dynamics I think?

Yeah, I would agree that Ara could make this list as well. Ara does have a more drastic boost to its top-end than the Andro/Holocene do, but it is still very much oriented towards a spacious, crisp presentation and doesn't lend itself towards the more bass-focused end of things.

Has anyone heard both the Fathom and the 64 Audio U4s? I'm thinking of getting a new IEM soon and had narrowed it down to the U4s, but the Fathom looks intriguing at almost the same price. (Though 64 Audio does not include a 4.4mm cable termination, even as an option, and will ultimately cost me around $100 extra. I think this is unacceptable today on a four figure IEM when it is common on IEMs that are a mere fraction of that price.) I'm looking for an all-rounder but somewhat bassier than my Thieaudio Monarch MKII (but not as hardcore as the Symphonium Titan or FATFreq Scarlet Mini). The Fathom's bass has been pretty well reviewed, though I admit to having a (possibly unjustified) bias in favor of DD bass as in the hybrid U4s over BA bass.
