Good to know! I guess it's just one of those things that's a limitation of IEM design. One of my favorite music listening memories is hearing that entire album while sitting in my car in a parking lot through my custom 3 way audio setup. When the depth of those grooves had enough room to develop and be properly presented, it was like a religious experience.
I still have high hopes for the EJ07, but now I know I need to be realistic.

For the song Future Breed Machine, my Fearless Rolands seem to do better for that song and genre.
I guess the EJ07 fun signature is not for that genre. Or it may be the more natural/longer decay?
But the bass lines of the song sound better on the EJ07.
Edit: My EJ07 can sound better with a I very slightly eq up the mids afterall. 250hz, 500hz, 1khz. Of course this could just be my own subjective hearing compensation.
Not important, but I am pretty sure my Faaeal Hibiscus is using the Shuoer driver in the EJ07 but tuned to be faster more resolving. The Diamond Like Carbon driver?
I just realized something, if I bought an OEM Ej07, I should have just gotten the They-who-shall-not-be-named oem version and saved money. XD
Bah, still a nice earphone.
Oh and there is a version with the same Graphics but labeled Shuoer and not SOWE. Though it is labeled Ej97-001, and mine is serialed ej07-005. So a 9 and 0. And a 1 and 5.
The St7 has the serial. EL190703.

Here is a little list of my (non pro) impressions and notes about the Tape.
-Light, very comfortable (I prefer foam tips), you forget them in your ears
-Stock cable is passable, way better than BL03 stock cable
-MMCX connection is good, not loose, no connection issue
-Tighter and more accurate bass than BL03
-Brighter than BL03
-Softer sounding with foam tips
-Brings out new details in songs
-Soundstage and imaging better than BL03
On the second day the right driver started making a sound when pressing it in the ear lightly and then letting go. The sound is like a loose spring inside the driver would vibrate for a second. Sound plays without problems and in normal use the spring sound is not a problem. Only when putting the IEM in my ear do I notice the sound. The sound also appears only when the IEM is plugged into my desktop DAC/AMP (Marantz HD-DAC1). I'm not able to reproduce the sound unplugged or with my Samsung Galaxy S8.
Later same day the springy sound appeared on the left IEM. No noticeable effect to playback.
After about 3 weeks with daily use I've had no issues. Mostly listening with Galaxy S8. My package also says "New". Bought from Amazon EU. I'm waiting for EarStudio ES100 and balanced Tripowin cable to arrive next week.

Anyone who has had enough listening time on both the Tape and the EJ07 to do a comparison? Curious to find out if the substantial price difference is reflected in the sound quality at all.

I also want to see the comparison as well. But for the price, I still think it depends on if you yourself think it's worth it. Diminishing return hits hard after $500 for me.
It's like when people rave about Blon 03 and its ridiculous price/performance ratio. All it matters is if the sound is to your liking. I have yet to see any TOTL to actually reflect their price when compare to lower tier. Again, personal taste.
For now, I can't see myself paying x5 the price for anything when compare to Tape. Maybe x2
