New poll. Working in reverse: If you had to choose, what is the most expendible IEM in your collection at the moment?
I use all of them, before I would have actually chosen the Monarch MKII but I am glad to have it as my back-up TOTL now ( even thought most people here would not put them in this position, I guess)

Some chi-fi IEMs for me as well.

But I will keep the CCA CRA and the Moondrop Aria. Need something to use when the rain is pouring down. Yesterday I pulled out the CRA. Was surprised how good it sounds. Definitely a keeper.

Not counting my various cheaper sets such as CRA, Chu, Blon etc - either IE600 or IE900 might get the chop... I'm a bit torn as IE600 is a better all-rounder, but IE900 a more impressive set for a smaller portion of my library. I'll probably just keep both though for the moment... top 3 DDs while I'm at it:
  1. Turii Ti
  2. Twilight
  3. TZ700

And the logical next step will be the Perpetua :) Musicteck doesn't list it anymore, so I'm wondering if they are sold out.

I agree with you. It is certainly a top IEM that gets little love from this community.

More money does not equal better though...

It feels so wrong for saying this, but my Elysian Annihilator, it's my least used CIEM.
Hm, what’s above it? I ask as I’m thinking about a year-end CIEM purchase to expand beyond my all rounder, the bird. Looking for “fun with a little more bass”, this and the Xe6 (and a few others) were on my shortlist coming out of CanJam.

Well, not much realistically. It's just more of a preference thing!

I never keep expendable IEMs around-- as soon as they hit that status I sell them.

Got it. Makes sense. So much good stuff out, this is a bit of a Sophie’s Choice game, really.
