Mavis,
I am really going to be interested in your comparisons of the 227 and 627. As you may remember I had mine changed from 627s to 227s (4-switch version), didn't sound too wonderful at first, gave it 6 days of un-interrupted burn in, and the sound was much better.
Needless to say, my memory of how the 627s sounded was pretty distant. That being said, there's just something about the 227s that's*not just quite right. I think they are not as quick and sharp in attack as the 627s, and I am thinking they (627s) may just have the edge in terms of dynamic range. There are some quiet bass notes that are just missing for me (Brahms Ist, bar 37, cello pizzicato note). whereas they were there before.....I think!!
I'm still going to hold on to the 227s for a bit and listen some more. Xin still has my 627s, so I can always switch back.
But I am eager to hear your comparisons.
