I don't have a preferred frequency graph. My main preference is.. iems that give me goosebumps.

DMS has some spicy hot takes lately
Don't be saying that, people around here can get a bit sensitive to that kinda talk
Or trickle down audionomics if you willHe makes some interesting points, though I wouldn't agree that mid-fi is dead. I do think that everything has gotten better over time, at every price point, in a rising tide lifts all boats kind of way.
It's funny how different people use different aspects of music to make a first evaluation. My first two things are electric distorted guitars (honk? Enough bite?) and cymbals (natural or peaks and dips).For me I usually prefer warmth due to treble sensitivity. But the absolute most important factor is the vocal presentation. If there is shout or sibilance or if the timbre is off then I'm instantly taken out of my happy place. Bass is 2nd most important but honestly if I need a basshead set it's more for fun so the vocals aren't as important anyways.

I believe I could easily stop hunting the rainbow-spitting audio dragon with these two.
... not happening yet, though.

Aural elitism is acceptable around hereMy priority:
The ones that are not would be reviewed, where I find more reasons to make it
- Fit: if it is a nightmare to seal, it’s likely
- Soundstage and imaging. If it’s boring, it’s
- Tonal balance and comfort: if it’s piercing, it’s
- Dynamic: if it sounds dead, it’s likely
The ones that are somewhat alright goes to headfi review and usually gets 3/5-ish.
The ones that are very much alive after all the nitpicking get a strong recommendation .
The ones that impress me would see me talking about them all the time on forums.
Edit: boy, it sounds elitism. It was meant to be on a lighter note
It was about time...lol, time to pack it up y'all, mid-fi is dead!
I did check up my midfi: all of my IEMs & DAPs are in their places.It was about time...
The middle class has been non-existent...for so long now...mid-fi hung around for quite longer
Cheers!
Keep hunting my friend!AüR Audio Aure & Venture Electronics SIE
