Hey friends, been working at this for a couple months on and off but never thought I would post as it was mostly for my own reference, anyway - my very own IEM scoring database!
Score Spreadsheet
Hopefully this can help people extrapolate information and understand how I analyze and score different metrics.
I don’t particularly care if you disagree with how I rank things because it’s just my opinions and I took away all emotion/ biases and just call it like I hear it. So, feel free to question or ask for elaboration if you disagree on points, as discussion is welcomed. Inevitably, there are things that were listened at different times of my life with different source gear and different moods - but I do consider myself very even-keel and consistent in my methods.
- Please start with the “Legend” tab and read through that before checking scores.
- “Danda Main Sheet” is what I would consider my most objectively honest scoring for the overall product. You can see the total score followed by “Tonal, Tech & Wow factor” scores.
- Tonal Score is the avg sum of "Tuning + Tonal Accuracy".
- Technical Score is the avg sum of "Technical Prowess".
- Wow Factor Score is the avg sum of "Intangibles + Technical Prowess" combined.
- I’ve gone ahead and made separate tabs for “Tonal”, “Technical” & “Wow Factor” scores for a different ordering perspective & more clarity.
- There is an “IEM Notes” tab for general comments/ notes or observations. This will hopefully be beneficial in understanding too. I could go on in more detail but didn’t want to clutter it up too much.
Please feel free to critique and/ or let me know if something seems wacky or needs corrections.
Thanks!
