Your experience is the opposite of mine with the gold. I hear increased depth and texture, a slight midrange warmth without haze or detail obscuration, music congeals better, and the highs and bass are not truncated.
I wonder if you are unmasking another weak link? Not sure what is going on. Give it some more time in the position you perceive to have a good midrange and dynamics. A raw top end does benefit from settling time.
