Ok, I just received my Ultrasone Edition 5, and of course, out of the same source (HUGO) I compared it to my TH-900, and surprise...
I prefer the ED5 !
I find the ED5 MUCH more detailed and after hearing it, I find the TH900 way to bass heavy. (for example the Church Organ from the "Bach Toccata anf Fugue" (from the "simply amazing binaural Sound Show" from Chesky) is almost un-listenable with my TH-900 because way to many bass, while it is pleasant with the ED5 because much more balanced.
With the ED5 I hear things that I never noticed in my recording before !
And as a side effect, I end up listening to the ED5 at a lower volume than I listen to the TH-900 (This is a good point for my hearing health ! ). Indeed, with the ED5 I listen to details rather than trying to be immerged into a flow of music like I do with the TH-900.
So, I start to wonder if having had my TH900 re-cabled with OCC cryogenised COOPER cable may finally not been a good idea ? Don't cooper cable increase the Bass ?
--> Wouldn't a Silver cable have instead increased the details and reduced the bass ?
I am confused.... I use to love my TH-900 but now...I find it too bassy, hyding details.... is there something wrong with my TH-900 ? the Cooper cable ?
