  How is the bass response of the singolo compared to the tenore ?

IMHO the bass of singles is better, wider, deeper and with more impact.
it really has some of the Bassio bass magic combined with the Tenore
mid magic.  but it is its own soundunierse, don't have anything else
that sounds like the Singulos. hence the Singulol Larity!

OK, went for Sushi with the clan, let Hope burn for a couple of hours, edge coming off treble, mids getting richer, have to let these burn for a while, maybe the full kazillion hours, more to come

I don't even want to hear how they are going to turn out for you. Scary for us cheapo's!

I just recently registered for Tenso and was comparing prices for ZA Singolo and Tenores purchased from US Amazon and eBay vs Amazon Japan/Tenso shipped to CA. Does it seem that the eBay/US Amazon price for Tenores is very close to the Japan Amazon/Tenso price ($35+$20 vs $55)? But the Singolos are cheaper by up to $50 buying from Japan Amazon/Tenso ($85+$20 vs $145). Is my research correct?

Burn those babies in! I have a love affair with my hope VI. They will get better, but you are right,; they sound good with low owe red sources and great with a good amp.

It's wild, gonna take me a bit to sort this out. At first, out of box, thought they were "U" shaped, with tipped up treble. Now, after 2 hours of burn in (and some sushi in my belly, one of the most important audio enhancements), they seem really different. Not the basic character, but the highs tamed much, maybe too much. Mids much to the fore, and DETAIL DETAIL DETAIL...these are detail monsters. I won't pull out the usual cliches, but I have to have listened to the Dead's American Beauty a kazillion times in my time, don't expect to hear it any differently, maybe this more emphasized than that, but basically it is what it is. Got "Truckin" playing, some much detail, organ pushing through where I hadn't heard it, Jerry's voice is THERE, guitar licks appear out of nowhere, shouldn't be hearing new stuff, have used this on all the good gear I've acquired. Going to take more burn in, electronic and brain, to get a handle on these babies, I believe:atsmile:


OK, been listening to about 10+ YouTube live versions of this to pick out what I'd like to post (I know, tough job, but someone had to do it...)
Goes on about 12 minutes, but the song is only about the 1st 8 minutes, absolutely useless talk afterwards, don't bother once the tune is over
So, without further ado, brought to you by Hope/GO 1k/YouTube, get your freak flag flying!!!!!

I can't believe this...my daughter talked me into doing a 2 week detox diet with her. I've worked VERY HARD to collect my many toxins over the years, gonna really miss them.
OK, she's listening to this as she prepares my kale-and-who-knows-what-else smoothie I'm supposed to have for breakfast

You all may know this, but it's new to me, really catchy...

^... Bwahaha sucker!

I kid, I kid. I'm sure my twin daughters will talk me into all kinds of things when they learn to communicate in full sentences.

Luckily that's several years away, so you still have plenty of time to stuff yourself full of toxins beforehand.

Yep, good luck. I've got twin girls myself as kids three and four, need I say it wasn't planned.

The oldest one is also a girl in the lovely age 14. Sometimes when I feel sorry for myself I think of my poor son and than I don't feel sorry for myself anymore
