      I’ve been enjoying the vinyl much more now than I moved the rig to the 2CH. Plus the format kinda forces you into whole album listening by default.

      (I maintain that MiniDSP EARS are far more useful for IEM measurements than headphone measurements)

      Ishcabible
      Unfortunately I believe the EARS also isn’t a good fit for IEMs as the canal isn’t really resembling that of a human’s so the measurements are going to be quite off from a much cheaper 711 clone that you can buy for around $70

      Oh nah I agree on that front, upper treble response is non-representative by far. Relative comparisons still being somewhat serviceable aside, I'm just saying those pinnae mean they're even worse for headphones, hah.

      In this part of the world, enquiry about what a person has eaten is a routine part of initial greeting. Watch the dogs and cats: a quick arse-sniff and they know what the other has eaten for the past three days. And, probably, who else sniffed that arse recently.

      They could do that blind.

      I’m still wondering if maybe everything might be HIDDEN somewhere within FR. Like the squiggles of an impulse response are frequencies, too, e.g.. I just don’t think such stuff is easily visible in an FR plot or can be used to just EQ a different resolution or sth like that.
