Nice!! Canāt wait to see what shell you grabbed. Unless being the great NYMZ you got a special flair to it.
Hereās the shell I picked with the help of a few members. Iām a sucker for purple.

Special flare brother. None of those.

iirc, its Ā±2db.
But as @nymz mentioned, if its Ā±2db in a whole bass shelf or just a single peak, makes a HUGE difference between hearing it or not. And also if you arent lucky enough that say, the +2db side is on the side of your ear that is more unbalanced.

7th Acoustics needs to find some distributor soon, maybe Hifigo.
Super Reviews and Precog shilled the Supernova, must be an amazingly tuned set, graphs like an absolute beast!
Iām thinking about ordering one later this year as an upgrade to my B2 Dusk, what kilobuck IEM would pair well with the Supernova?

Iām not sure about one kilobuck that would pair well. I can tell you the Supernova is one of my favorite iems, and i pull it out more than the Z1R, Anole VX, MMK2, Andromeda 2020, and Odin. Precog nailed the review and experience. Plus, the buying experience was fantastic. I got to choose from 20 different abalone face plates.

I was thinking Z1R personally.
The fact you own numerous TOTL sets and prefer the Supernova means it doesnāt need any pairings.

Iām traveling and brought my Z1R along to get more acquainted with it. The bass is so satisfying, and, to me, doesnāt take over the rest of the FR. Iām listening to the Tedeschi Trucks Band right now and loving it.

Got to love having all those sets and forgetting you brought one with you. I didnāt realize both sets graphed so closely in the bass. Would be curious how they differ in response to one being an all BA set and the other having DD. Doesnāt look like the treble would make much of difference to change the perception of the bass.
Being a godfather of the IEM scene Iād love to hear the Z1R one day but, I have a hunch itāll be a little to zingy/spicy for me on a lot of tracks I enjoy. The Supernova looks more idea seeing it doesnāt look to have any emphasis on a particular frequency from 2-5k.

From 1.5K onwards they have nothing in common. Different driver configuration, different price point, different libraries are responsible. I donāt understand why you started comparing the two IEMs. From what Iāve read in the reviews I donāt think Sonyās DD bass can be beat by a BA bass, itās just an absurd comparison!

I donāt think itās crazy to ask. You said it yourself in a form. Up to 1k they have very much in common. Looks to be even more close to 1.5k. If that hit someoneās idea target to that range maybe theyād like to know how they differ afterwards. Of course itās library and user preference dependent. However, not everyone can just look at a chart and know what that may translate into sound. Even for BA vs DD bass which having never heard a Sony flagship I have no idea how good there driver may be. Thatās where the discussion amongst the more informed members come in and to those who have them in their collection.
As for the price Iāve always wondered about the Z1R. After all it is Sony and they do seem to ask a premium for their sets even the older releases. Adding that they could also be taking advantage of the following and rep they and the Z1R have built. Which was established before the current craziness in releases weāve seen in the last 1-2 years. Does the Z1Rs asking price still hold true to its performance today. Especially when boutique builders and ChiFi having been have been bridging the gap. Just maybe in todays market one of their $700 IEMs is relevant to the Z1R. Without discussion weāll never know.

There should be a discussion, youāre right. I havenāt listened to the Z1R either, but I donāt think there are currently 600-700$ ChaiFi IEMs that come close.
