Thanks for that link, and I did try to read it. But I guess the ADD clicked in and I just could not finish it. Sometimes, I think there is too much analysis going on. I guess I am one of those dumb listeners who would rather just listen. Instead of headstage, I get headhurt ... from trying to decipher all the terms, analyses, critical listening views, etc.
But I do agree, it's very hard to wade through all the terminology. And of course I don't begrudge anyone else who wants to get deep into the science of sound. But for me, listening is enough. If I don't like it and or want to hear something even more ear/brain-pleasing, I try something new.

Of course there are some other IEMs that may have smoother mids, better extended treble or what not; but non of the rated top tier IEMs I've tried (SE530, W3, UM3X and Triplel fi 10) gets me as actively engaged in the music I listen to as the IE8. Ever since I received these I've just been Head Bopping and Toe Tapping 24/7. So like you I'd say I really like my IE8's and really think they're great and can't wait to see what a re-cabling does to them. With regards to the various confusing audiophile lexicons ever so loosely used. I'd suggest you read the review in this link. In fact I think every head fier should read it. Its hands down the best review I've ever read. Here's the link:http://www.thismanwillkillyou.com/bi...ega2Review.pdf |
