    crinacle's IEM Ranking List

    Here's the thing: I do. Constantly. As much as I can, whenever I can, possibly to the annoyance of my audience. I can't link anything here due to MoT status but if you do a quick search, you'd find that I had dedicated an ENTIRE 12 minute video to speak on the things that affect the objectivity...

    crinacle's IEM Ranking List

    What reality? YOUR reality? The reality in which you speak for every single person in the world? What makes YOUR opinion more realistic than mine? I repeat what I had to say in a different thread because of people also attempting to push their reality onto others: The fact that I have to...

    Let me just say a few words, hopefully without staring down a bunch of pitchforks. I've always been a purveyor of the subjectivity of the hobby, how one shouldn't disparage the opinions of another simply on the basis of disagreement because everyone has different tastes, different ears...

    The discovery thread!

    Who said there was ever a such thing as a truly "unbiased" opinion? You came into this thread claiming to be unbiased and true in this subjective hobby, and then act offended when I say that nobody can represent everybody because everyone has their own biases. Yeah, when your first conversation...

    The discovery thread!

    Neither is it the goal for my taste or opinion to assign my rankings, but ultimately I acknowledge that there will always be a level of personal bias that affects them all. No matter how carefully one tries to "remove" it. At the end of the day, claiming that your list is somehow better than...

    The discovery thread!

    What you've said is only true if you assume that your impressions and opinions are objective fact and the undeniable truth. But as with anyone in this thread would agree, nobody can claim that (and I myself have paragraphs on paragraphs of disclaimers on my pages as a result). We disagree, and...

    crinacle's IEM Ranking List

    Resolution, detail and speed fall under the same concept for me, or at the very least they are intrinsically linked. A resolving IEM is detailed and fast at the same time, as with every other permutation of that sentence, and I have it explained under "transients" in my article. Like for...

    Former Sennheiser engineer Axel Grell made a $200 pair of ANC true wireless earbuds - the TWS/1

    Hey Axel, The unit I received for review seem to be significantly out of spec relative to the graph you just posted, also confirmed on the GRAS RA0402. Are there any software updates I need to install or do I need to get an exchange set up?

    Empire Ears - Discussion & Impressions (Formerly EarWerkz)

    I need to address this real quick. Don't want misinformation to get out of hand especially within the measurements space. I have no idea what equipment the Empire Ears team are using for R&D and I don't expect them to share that. There are definitely specific equipment to measure bone...

    The Watercooler -- Impressions, philosophical discussion and general banter. Index on first page. All welcome.

    The problem here is that I have no made a single mention of any kind of K-pop, J-pop, or what you consider as "Asian genres" so I can only reasonably assume that you made these links purely on the basis of my ethnicity. For the record, I have written about my musical tastes here. And the songs...

    Acknowledging different tunings does not make one racist or imply racism, yes. But making assumptions about one's musical tastes and preferences based purely on their race and ethnicity, and subsequently assigning worth to their opinions, that is absolutely racism. I've been on the receiving...
