That's a good price. During 11/11sale I got the right number on my Linsoul receipt and got a 30% discount and paid $199. Lucky, good fortune and it is exceptional. It's probably the most variable IEM in price. I think ChrisOC said (I may be wrong) that it is the MRP that is the figure that defines what price range of the IEM. It's just that in the lower price tier I love the TRi i3 so am trying to find a way to give the A7 a vote. I guess someone needs to arbitrate.

Interesting point, Steve. I suggest you place the A7 in the price category you believe is appropriate and when we are counting the votes it will be decided between us whether that particular vote will be counted, and if so, in which category, bearing in mind your comments. It is a matter for the Poll Team. My colleagues are more knowledgeable on these matters than I am, so we will deal with the issue at that stage. Thanks for highlighting it.

POLL CLOSED
Thank you for your participation in our first annual Head-fi Members' Poll.

FIRST RESULT
The first result is clear for all to see. We asked you whether you would like to have a Poll each year.

There were 220 votes in total, 212 (96.4%) of participants said, "Yes", they would like to have the annual poll each year. 8 (3.6%) of the participants said, "No".

We can safely say the vote was overwhelmingly in favour of an annual poll. We have our instructions, an Annual Members' Poll each year. Our aim is to deliver what you have requested, and to improve on this year’s poll by ironing out any teething problems.

THE OTHER RESULTS
It will soon be time to find out exactly how your favourite IEMs fared in the Poll.

In the meantime we will tally up the votes and announce the results in due course.


Thanks again for your participation.

Poll Team

On behalf of the Poll Team, a big thank you to all of you Head-fiers who participated, and that includes those who could not, or chose not to, vote but participated in other ways.

Your votes are what makes all this possible. We also appreciate and take seriously your comments which see as constructive and which we believe will help us improve.

The Poll Team

Personally, I say a big, "thank you", to the Poll Team members (in alphabetical order as always):

@baskingshark
@IEMusic
@Slater

Despite their busy schedules and life's demands, they gave their limited spare time to ensure we deliver this demanding task.

Thank you all 🙏 and see you all for the next poll.

Isn’t the Fourte a Hybrid? I’m sure it was only a BA and DD Hybrid.

Thanks for that. We will check and if there are any errors, we will have to go back to check the original tally to determine how that affects the positions (so the effect on where the error is and how it affects where that IEM will be moved to) and then make the changes accordingly, so watch this space.
