Where do people get this idea? They're neither hot nor thin unless your source is.
People who like the Earsonics house sound might prefer much less trebble ?

Is there any evidence that more drivers gives better technical results? More drivers would appear to be harder to wire, control, and compensate for resonances and crossover frequency issues. If more drivers always gives better technical sound then we may all be upgrading forever and there will never be an IEM that is technically the best.
What is the limit on how many drivers any company can physically fit into the shell of an IEM?
I think Jerry realized the JH-3A was a bust and came up with a more practical, attractive and functional option. The JH-3A had way too many bugs. The JH-3A really left a bad experience that makes me hesitate ever buying another JH product.
I think the innerfidelity review is a bit kinder about it than you are and one of those same reviewers now prefers a Noble to his previous fav jh13 at the time of that review. You'd have to pry my jh13s out of my cold dead hands to take them from me but to say Wizard's new company should be discounted due to past VG designs is silly. JHAs freq phase models are only one year old. Those models became the a new target but Heir was pretty competitive until then an Noble may be now with their current upgraded line.
I consider Project86 a very reliable unbiased source. Other reviews will have some bias as I or you might but that doesn't make them wrong. It's known that Kunlun hates JH and Sorensiin was a big fan of Heir but that doesn't mean it's influencing what they write. If Sorensiin happens to like the same take on sound as the Wizard, that's no more biased than me liking the sig of my JH13s. I don't see the problem. None of it means we or anyone else needs to agree but there is absolutely no basis to discount a Project86 review due to any sort of bias. I think his history speaks for itself. Will be interested for his take on these JHs.

Thats the definition of bias.
I found the original JH13 to be a bit too thin and bright for my taste, whereas the JH13 FP seem to have had the brightness warmed up slightly - the harshness smoothed out, so that they are less likely to be shrill or sibilant.
Nice way to ignore the main point about Project86. The rest was just discussion and if you include Project68 in that than by your definition, no review can exist without bias so all should be ignored. I mad a similar sounding comment to yours in the Cardas thread but went on with the same explanation I gave above to put it in the perspective thatit doesn't invalidate a review. It just makes me more interested to see another from Joker or Project86 etc and even that only gives more perspective as opposed to any conclusiveness. Here we have one of those accepted commodities.
Look at the innerfidelity round up article. While the JH13 was the overall favorite, the site originator preferred the ES5. Is that bias or opinion. Opinion based on sig bias? LOL, it's all a matter of degrees and I think we're all aware.
I get what you're saying. I just rather not pay too much heed who has bias for or against anything. If some prefers a warmer sound thats fine; but to favor or dislike a product due to who made it is ridiculous. I get we all have specific signature we like. I like colder, more neutral, analytical, fast signatures. Why I went with the jh13 over jh16.
