So he's going to rerank over 1000 iems, from years passed, based on his memory of them? That's a bad idea.

It sounds like he’s retesting them. He had a video recently about his new testing setup.

The way I read it is that he's simply scaling down the list due to the quality of IEMs increasing very quickly. I imagine most whatever IEMs are just being shifted down a couple of sub-ranks.

iirc he's retesting them on the B&K standard instead of the GRAS one he's been using

That's one thing I cannot stand when you tubers do, they call back on headphones they heard years back and recall how they sounded in datail when I know human memory for how something sounded is shaky even when a/b testing with seconds between swapping headphones/iem

I have no idea why you are being downvoted.

It's fine if they A/B with both right next to each other; however, I have heard/seen comparisons that were clearly from memory.

Memory is a horrible documentarian.
