Resolution, balance, improved UM Multiverse (noteweight, treble) Since they tried to say it is a Cayin set...it is named as such. All other UM removed from rec listBad Guy Good Audio original ranking

Great resolution and layering. Great bass texture and punch. Mids have a small timbral issue. Refined, resolving highs. Analogue tone. Engaging yet non-fatiguing. Cons: Shells prone to cracking.

Game changer. Most resolving accurate replay in the hobby. No specific qualifier to wave off potential buyer..nada Price is extreme but presentation reflects that. No sonic flaws. 1st set in 10 years that gets that.Bad Guy Good Audio original ranking
