Great bass elevation with some bleed into the midrange. Treble has some zing around the 8k and 10k area to compensate for the warmth. Solid warm pick, great cable.

Extremely poor dynamic expression. Lacks any sense of impact or volume gradation, making music feel one-dimensional.

Modest soundstage that feels confined. Some left/right separation but completely lacks depth and height dimensions.
