I don't have Zeus, and my good man @Deezel177 has already answered the bulk of your questions (thanks!) I'll just add the following in summation bcos I've spent only about 15 hours with Eos so far.
Pernel was a Hungarian cable and enamel ware factory.
No but it seems interesting. I like brands that take their time.Has anyone tried M-Fidelity SA-50? I want to buy a TOTL ciem, but my ear canal is pretty thin and probably won't fit more than 2 tubes
The Warbler Prelude has a single bore if you're interested.Has anyone tried M-Fidelity SA-50? I want to buy a TOTL ciem, but my ear canal is pretty thin and probably won't fit more than 2 tubes
I guess I am odd, but I like listening critically. It probably has to do with the fact that I use music to focus my hyperactive brain and music is one of the few things where I can be completely absorbed in it and all distractions fade away. Critical listening sort of becomes natural part of that. Plus, I love writing and so gathering all my thoughts in a review is a lot of fun for me.
Absolutely this! This is why I review. I want to hear it all and I can't afford to buy too much gear. So reviewing helps because it becomes a lot easier to borrow a demo pair for a longer time (preferable over a short show-floor demo) and of course review samples are great, although I am very selective what I will accept.
This is such a shame. I am still not entirely sure what happened, but it must have been bitterly disappointing for both EA and MS.
I still have very fond memories of reading the tag-team Dodocool reviews of @ryanjsoo and @PinkyPowers. Highly recommended if you want to see a reviewer handle it delicately and one with a "here's your effin' review and never dare waste my time again"-approach. (Guess who wrote what!)
Absolutely, (C)IEMs should first and foremost fit personal preferences. As much as I hear at whatever price point, I never mind coming back to my Ei.3 because they fit my preferences so well. They are smooth, fun and thoroughly engaging, with just the sort of holographic stage that helps immerse me in my music.
My personal preference goes to expensive iems.

Of course I will soon move into TOTL and there I hope to find another pair that fits my specific criteria (differing slightly from my Ei.3) and gives me years of happy listening. Those two (the Ei.3 and the TOTL) will be my baseline and everything else will be out of interest and to add something with a specialised characteristic. But getting that baseline right is really important to me and price only matters after I have found something I like and need to see how many puppies will be required for this particular negotiation.
