vocals dry, what does he mean?

Perhaps it is related to fullness. Generally the mid needs to be slightly full to feel the sweetness in vocal.

so the vocals are harsh?

If it is a headphone, that will be a valid assumption. But an amp doesn't really has headphone-like peak-and-valley frequency response so it is more about coloration and harmonic rather than being harsh.

 

[TheDreamthinker]

than it is recessed or/and muddy?

Any word on the bass boost on the E11 compared to the E7 on highest setting? I'm trying to decide which I should get for my iPod and my biggest priority is to get the most thump. I suppose I might just have to wait until one can do a side by side comparison though.

I think by 'dry' he mean thin and grainy.
Just a guess though

 

[TheDreamthinker]

the term "dry" is a bit ambivalent.....
 
better wait for some full reviews.

I am of the ilk that when a can is powered properly, the amp doesn't change the sound quality much.
 
Is this a valid opinion?

If by properly you mean, basically, comparable total/rms output power and current/dynamic power, then pretty much. Although I imagine a valve and solid state amp with comparable specs the former will have a markedly different frequency response.

This amp also has a bass boost which would make it a bit more than merely powering it properly.

thanks for the translation ClieOS - you're awesome

 

[slapshot30]

Any word on how much bass boost gain in decibals?

The bass boost in E11 is different with E5, E7! it will have lest effect to the midband!

 

[slapshot30]

That's understandable and a good thing, I was just wondering in comparison in terms of dB.
