What the Erlkonig brings is the best of the best indulgence. The sound is clearly some of the best BA tuning available. The entire package is top tier. It is not a far out tuning, it is like the best missionary sex you have ever had, but it isn't going make you perform the tantra. Crin gets paid for the links on his site, so his negative style of quick listen sells to the uninformed, nothing to see here move along.
Set the tuning dial to your desired, preferred tuning or change it for each genre, the choice is yours, but enjoy some of the safest, BA tuning available. The bass is superbly textured and gutteral. The treble is safe smooth and extends details, without offending. The mids are one of the best, and VE has the mids game down, EVE, VE8 all superb.
Meanwhile, back at the farm, I own the Erlkonig and listen all I want, not for a quickie and then write my cool comments and move on leaving destruction in my wake.. Another case of nothing to see here, move along. Enjoy your music...that's why we are all here anyway.
