Send a pm to CEETEE. He heard them all.
Some hints:
- BHSE/T2DIY were the cleanest sounding
- BHSE tonal balance was brighter or less bassy in a relative sense compared to all others with T2DIY just behind.
- T2DIY has more bass than BHSE
- Electra was the more "musical" but not as clean
- LL and Electra were warmer or more bassy sounding than BHSE/T2DIY
- LL was somewhere in between
- LL did not seem to extract detail as well as the others
FYI, the Electra top plate is polished like the BA.
The only thing that I cannot confirm is the BHSE in comparison...and I would say that the LL sounded very "flat" to me compared to the DIY T2 and the HEV90.
Friday night I mentioned that it would be nice to me if the Electra sounded a bit more like the Orpheus than the DIY T2. It did...purrin's modded headphones on the Electra sounded like it would be my endgame. I didn't get to sit and spend time running different tracks through it over time though.
Was wonderful to be able to spend a couple of hours with the DIY T2 and Orpheus set-ups to pay a lot of attention to the presentation. Kept rewinding certain tracks and comparing back and forth to soak up the way they blended, resolved, and
felt. I appreciate when the system blends the best aspects of what we generally consider "dynamic" with the speed/control/ability of the other types of phones...and don't "hurt" anywhere.
