The fact that a writer is attempting to cross over from his personal interpretations into a community valued objectivity including investigative thought on the value of an IEM. We know reviews are subjective even though their (possible) objectivity is the potent reality we as readers are trying to gain by reading.

This post isn’t about someone saying “You didn’t like the IEM I like because you didn’t use the off choice tips I like.” All I’m suggesting is if you had time to try a super wide bore tip.Īll this nonsense.as we all know the differences are very very small in separated differences between IEM success and IEM failure. Yet it’s not simply tone as the N3 review was inspired by a different soundstage too. The Hybrid Tipped N3, boring uninspired, slow and pedestrian, to my ears. The effects of the Sony included Silicone Hybrid Tips (manufacture included no less) were all the N3 was previously judged with prior. I wrote a review about the XBA-N3 only inspired due to (new) different firmware and (new to me) DUNU L blue tips, making it a different IEM becoming something inspirational enough to write about. Something that can at times work better than EQ, and be more powerful than different cables and sources. Most of this writing here reflects my own conclusions in the reality of tips affecting tone and ultimately the end tune of the IEM.

And as far as tone goes, overall tone may be one of the top factors affecting personal affinity to an IEM. It’s all just part of the possibilities and endless convoluted rabbit-holes we as enthusiasts subject ourselves to in the sake of finding tone. On the other hand, I myself tip and cable roll stuff I already own, because the base transducer is already fit for my preferences and it's down to tweaking to taste. Likewise, no tip will magically make me like something I fundamentally disagree with. It absolutely does make a difference, and synergy is a very real thing, but no source is magically going to make me like a Meze Empyrean. My opinion on the matter isn't that far off from my opinion on sources and amps. Which is why I follow the same rule I've been using for the last year and a half, and even before I started writing - any tip that's good enough for the manufacturer or the store owner is good enough for me. It's nice to hear stuff in their ideal conditions, but pragmatism is a very real thing when it comes down to making decisions like this. And even then, even if I find the perfect tip, it really doesn't make a difference in the grand scheme of things if the IEM in question is still too bright, or has another problem unrelated to this. I might, for example, vaguely get the idea that an IEM works better with narrowbores than widebores due to excessive treble energy, but what narrowbore? Sony Hybrids? Final Es? Spinfits? AET-08s? FAudio Instruments? Radius Deep Mounts? All of these sound different and I don't have ready access to all of them at any given moment, not to mention how much time it would take to compare all of them. When it comes down to stuff I actually write about, though, I can't have that luxury because much of this stuff is shooting in the dark.
