sound of PS1000 is really something special.
Actually its one thing i'd like to ask here regarding my recent adventure with PS1000 )
The story is, recently I got PS1000, liked them from the first try... really fantastic. Serial number was starting 36xx.
The small issue was overall used condition. So i started to look for some more offers, and get one more pair of PS1000 (from this forum.. thanks) good deal. SN 21xx suggest a bit older then mine but in really good condition. The idea was to keep those and sale previous one.. BUT
After A/B them the sound is differnt! My biggest problem at the moment I like them both and cant decide which to keep. )
Coming back to sound..
Here is the differance between two
1. 36xx (my first set) - it's really U shape, nice deep extended bass, some recessed middle, strong highs, excellent transparency and details.. i would say real Magic.
2. 21xx (second pair i get from here..) - i would describe as moved a bit right side U shape (more bright) more highs, shorter bass extend, but more textured and (meaty) detailed. More middles, similar transparency and details.
As i said they are the same PS1000 with different sound. Its makes me thinking how somebody can listen to PS1000, have an opinion, but other pair of PS1000 can sound just different. Really different.
What is it? One is used more.. so opened up.. drivers lot, PS1000i ..Amy ideas?
Sorry odessamarin, I wish I had some kind of explanation or answer to your post. The pair I presently own is my second one & I personally don't remember my initial pair sounding different or vice versa. It wasn't that long ago either that I sold my first pair so, I could be wrong but, again, from what I can remember about the first pair's sound I'm pretty sure I would have known if there was a noticeable difference between both. There is one question that came to mind : did you listen to both PS1000 with the same source & amplifier ?
