Unbelievable
Yamaha really made this statement:
Glossy black piano finish provides improved signal-to-noise performance

I thought I would seek opportunity to hear these speakers, but now I do not think so
Moving the two foam pads on RAAL ribbon tweeters one notch, i.e. 1/8" causes treble, mid and bass relationship to be rearranged fundamentally, far more than would be believed. Sony is more hard core regarding sound than most companies imo. One of the few that are not stupid to make such a statement. Likely if we heard identical speakers with different finishes, we might agree. Also, testing was likely in SOTA sound room, and then I wouldn't doubt it. |
Forget about the whole speaker paint... "Luxman even hand selects the color paint used on the resistors to identify value and tolerance based on extensive listening tests." https://www.musicdirect.com/integrated-amp/luxman-l-505u-integrated-amp-demo |
A little more from Hokkaido... "The ear pieces are made from strikingly beautiful traditional Japanese Echizen lacquer-finshed Hokkaido Asada cherry heartwood."https://www.audio-technica.com/cms/headphones/3c552629c6cf881d/index.html Check the video... https://www.fostexinternational.com/docs/products/TH900.shtml |
