(Again, I don't think I need to mention this but I'll reiterate anyways: please don't share this link. Everything is WIP and highly subject to change, so I don't want to deal with salt from the outsiders before everything's settled and done.)

As stated in my Reddit post, here's the raw IEM Ranking List that will be updated with new ranks for the new entries in the next few weeks.
It can get a little hard to read since I have to add in some html code into the cells themselves, but the ranks are colour-coded to ease readability. I won't be posting updates on Patreon so you can just check back every few days to look at any changes (unle...

Data for new GRAS measurements are now being uploaded to the raw measurements database.
As you may already know, I've received the last few components for the GRAS 43AG-7 and will soon be going full-force into building up the headphone measurements database.
However, uploading and publishing the graphs themselves to a consistent format (with the watermarks of top crowdfunding contributors and all that) along with updating the Graph Comparison Tool to the new format will take some time, so...

More or less happy with the current rankings at this point, should not be any more major changes from here on. Just need to add the comments, double check the final placements and the public release should be good to go.

The headphone ranking list has been updated with the new grading system of tonality/technicalities.
Now I'll address some concerns brought to my attention and put up some disclaimers that I never thought I had to.
- The Headphone Ranking List is a work-in-progress. If you're offended by the fact that it is unfinished, don't say I didn't warn you.

Tin HiFi T4: Sneak peek and early impressions
Background: So like a few other reviewers, I was sent three variations of the Tin HiFi T4 to evaluate and give feedback on. I sent feedback that this variation would be the best choice for production, after which I was told that it was the variation that Tin HiFi will proceed with.

[Sneak Preview] The Big October Mixup
Apologies for the lack of content recently, work piled on in the last weeks or so but I'll be back next week for more content.
I'll have to take another short hiatus after in November-ish, but I'll be back at the end of month for my semi-annual Singapore trip. So look forward to that.
General background: this new update is basically a downward revaluation of many entries in C-tier and up, after some reflection that I've been losing my edge and standards.

Here I shall put my beliefs and thoughts on various “controversial” topics so people stop asking me the same questions every single day.
This is me stating my beliefs, and then explaining why I hold these beliefs. While I do not have the intention of proving or debunking anything, it may enter that territory when I pry further into my own personal rationalisations.
