Conclusion = what each headphone sounds like to each person.
Ranking = what each person would pick as their first favorite, second favorite, etc etc...

That's exactly why I gave myself at least over a month to listen to the R10s before deciding whether I hate them or like them. I also set out to find a good amp to compliment them in order to push them to their best, taking leaps in price ranges between each amp, since they seem very amp dependant. If I could ever afford one, I'd LOVE to hear how the R10s sound with the Holmes Powell DCT-2. Now that would be an ultimate dynamic headphone setup.
