what a difference a day makes
why arent there musical notes in the emotes section?
i can now say that yes i do believe in cable burn in,.... i dont really care what happens to a cable or if nothing happens to the metal on a microscopic level or if its lil tie die fairy-goblin half breeds that flow through electricity that are responsible or whatever reason either side of the camp gives to back up their argument,....
all i know is that i plugged the twag in the minute i got it, listened to a few mixes and then burned it for about a day, and listened to the same mixes, and yes there is a difference.
how? why? who cares?!
the highs are really really nice, silky smooth, no sibilance, and just enough sizzle and tail on things like cymbals to feel just right. on the stock cable some mixes would come out with a little too much highs but i think this will fix that.
the bass has tightened up alot and is now nice and solid and it makes my brain rattle and shudder when those 20-30hz sine waves kick in on the dubstep/jungle tunes i listen to. the first day it was like the drivers where on strike, had too much to drink and then pigged out on a cow,... that's how lazy it sounded yesterday.
versus the stock cable,... the em3's straight from Franck are great, and if the cable had not severed on one side, i would have been perfectly happy with them as i'd learned how they respond quite well. but i'm happy that i got the eclipse as well because it refines the sound, like a high end eq, and it does it with great class. the stock bass is powerfull, no doubt about that, but the twag leans the bass out yet retains the power. that's what i mean by refines,.... picture a bodybuilder, lean, cut, massive,... now picture an UFC fighter, lean, cut, massive, and fast. that's how different the bass sounds.
i dont quite know how they'll hold up for mixing as i dont think they're as flat as the stock cable but i think theyll be ok once i learn their new sound signature.
you dont have to get it to fully enjoy your em3's,.... but if you find yourself missing some highs, have $300 in your pocket and dont have a coke/hooker habit,... you wont be disappointed witht he eclipse.
