Btw, completely unrelated to IEMs, there was a neat article [1] involving a fossil that predates the cambrian explosion which might be of interest to you. Not sure how that affects your simile.

- lhl 11y agoIf you're happy with your IEMs I might just skip the rest - it can be an expensive hobby. If you are looking for an upgrade I'd recommend heading to an event like CanJam, try out a bunch, and trust your ears. There's no point in paying for what you can't hear. Still, be prepared to either fortify your will or be ready to sacrifice your wallet. Neat article. When talking about a Cambrian explosion, I really mean how the market has exploded - you're seeing so many new companies, designs, and approaches. While the high-end has gone a bit crazy, the perf/$ has basically increased above the board as well (heck, the ER4s sold for like $300+ (close to $500 in today's buying power) 15 years ago, so the fact that you can get them now for ~$200 is pretty great.
