You may find their target curve from audio discourse, where antdroid is one of the reviewers there.
Here is
some info about how to read their target curve. You may dig a bit futther following the link on that post too. By the way BGGAR is HBB’s channel name.
I have both SA6 and Anole VX, and it is very very hard to tell by any mean you can value SA6’s treble over Anole VX.
But it could be his other variables, such as music genre(type of road), playing source format (speed limit), DAP (actual driver’s skill), etc etc. If you are only comparing Porche 911 vs Lambo on street with 80km/hour speed limit, yes sure! Maybe Porche could be a winner.
But it is hard to say at serious race tracks with professional racing driver in charge, it is inevitable the Lamborghini is a mile far winner.
The playing source format (speed limit) is very important, I do listen both, for some tracks I can’t find from TIDAL’s Master SQ(there are normal (160kbps/apple music’s AAC level), Hifi(1411kbps/lossless quality), and Master (2304-9216 Kbps, the mastering studio’s original source class), I go youtube music premium or apple music for the streaming, aside from my old CP ripping tracks stored locally. When you A-B test with youtube music/apple music’s lossless/amazon music HD to Master class TIDAL, there is an undeniably huge gap in amount of information that each sound quality has to offer. A different speed limit.
I’m pretty fine with both SA6 and Anole VX on youtube music level (80km/hr), and both performs at good level, you can tell some texturing and layering, and resolutions on both belongs to different class, but when it comes to 9.6Mbps? A mile mile far difference.
So speed limit (playing source format) is a key variable too.)
About precog’s rating you may read the post above. His target curve is u12t style pinna gain dip style.
For $200-500 upgrades with balanced tuning, my recommendation is either AFUL Performance 5 or AKG N5005.
I have both noted.
AFUL Performer 5. Disregard silly brand naming, it’s an unfortunate lost in translation.
Before you read any about P5

N5005 sound impression
Some voice made me happy by sharing that N5005 impression
