Clearly, more people need to continue this pattern of dropping a letter and changing a vowel. If someone's willing to be Anacle, we can finally have Uncle gushing about the cavernous depth he experienced of the Anole's soundstage.

You're careful with ear tip selection when writing your IEM impressions, yes? Higher-end IEMs in particular tend to incorporate the ear canal resonance into the tuning and so depend on being listened to at a specific insertion depth to maintain a coherent presentation, and I've seen some impressions posted by others who most likely weren't mindful enough of that. Headphones like the HD800S that try to model loudspeaker/ear acoustic interaction can also sound like blobby messes if you don't take care to find a sweet spot relative to your ears to position them at.

I usually use the default tips provided when I test the iems as I believe the included tips define the IEM's true sound signature as a whole. Though I personally swap them around on the IEMs I daily drive. Unfortunately that doesn't account for units that don't use/include the stock tips and sadly I'm usually unaware if they don't. Thanks a lot for the input though!
