      (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.

      Yeah total bummer. I was really looking forward to it and that specific color. I don't think Zach uses USPS but it was purchased second hand. That's why it was sent that way. You're right on USPS dropping the ball hard recently. Time to file that claim.

      Did shipper insure? Had USPS “deliver” a WE 396a from fleaBay the other week, seller wasn’t any help. I was surprised how quickly the local post office called me when I went to file, but it was just “she [the carrier] says she’s sure she delivered it.” Still nothing, bought another one. Could have tried to go through PayPal but with a delivered status unsure how far I could have gotten.

      Sad thing is, he did not insure but did go through PayPal G&S. Why you would send a headphone without insurance at that price is beyond me. So if USPS says they'll only pay up to a certain amount I'll settle it through PayPal and have him settle it with USPS.
