I’m OP,
So my brand spanking new PAD Musaeus Luminis version XLR just arrived and from the first 5 min plugged in (I know, I couldn’t wait), it’s definitely sweeter, rounder, QUITER and slightly more polite; fully magical- easier to the ears which I was hoping for. Bass is more authority but some parts still disorted. In few tracks, female vocal Katie Melua’s highs still have some “psss psss” (but that’s expecting to soft down once cables breaking in?)
This pair XLR replaced (cheapy) $150-ish used MITerminator Proline, and over all, I’m loving it.
Wow, wait, it’s been nearly half an hour now and sound staging is beautifully forming as I’m ending this follow-up. Thank you ev1.
