Thank you for a very thoughtful, informative, and helpful answer.
You're very welcome
I wanted to give something back to the community and hoped the post could be helpful to some of the newer or more confused members on here.
Unfortunately, it got buried under a mountain of "where's my IEM?/Trinityaretheincarnationofevil/nothey'renot/yestheyare/stopwhining/I'mnotwhining;you'retheonewho'swhining/etcetcetc"
I find myself willing the IEM's to arrive, not so much for my own benefit, but for the sake of this thread and everyone on it
