Satin Audio Chimera II 8-wire, and it's a fantastic pairing.

Added another killer sounding dongle (Lotoo S2) to the mix.

Please understand this as constructive criticism, nothing more. I love your photos, and that you introduce us to IEMs that might otherwise go unnoticed.

10 reviews in 2022, 8 with 5 stars and 2 with 4 stars...
Is all so good to have 4 stars or more? Is the 80% so good / perfect to have 5 stars?

Shouldn't we start rating reviews in another way?
I really doubt it's all that good. Also, it is not good for anyone that everything is so good.

What new have you heard this year? There are $26 CCA CRA+ that fully win-out of all the $170.00 and $200.00 dollar IEMs I purchased with my own money in 2018. If you haven’t heard what is for sale now then I totally understand your skepticism. Being skeptical is normal. Why don’t you buy them and report back? The whole sound quality paradigm has changed before our noses.

I wish you couldn’t hear some of them, it would change your attitude! Imagine the Timeless and multiply it to a bunch of stuff, that is where we are at. The Timeless isn’t the only thing that’s good now. Just get the TRN TA1 Max and report back! You will see!

No worries, I love the criticism!

I have the CRA, and I don't like it at all.

And I probably wouldn't give the Timeless more than 4 stars even though I think it's the third IEM I liked the most out of everything I've tried.
Simply because I believe that to give something 5/5 stars, it should be perfect. And I don't think the perfect IEM exists yet (and possibly never).

It's simply a matter of how you rate, not whether the IEMs you've reviewed are better or worse than Timeless or others.

I rate on a value to dollar curve? I think your a little critical of your very own Timeless? I mean it totally changed the landscape? But the way you rate IEMs is your business.

Things don’t have to be perfect to get 5 stars from me. There is no such thing as perfect, it doesn’t exist here. Sorry.

You have the CRA not the CRA+.

I just think it's very confusing for someone who looks at the reviews that almost everything has 5 stars.
Nothing more.
I think it would be much fairer and more valuable for the rest of the people to be able to use the rest of the scores (not only 8, 9 or 10, but also 0,1,2... or 7).

But it's just my opinion.
