Headphoneus Supremus
Well, considering that I've only had time to update it and then load my music into it, with no burn-in at all, I'm impressed. It's hard to quantify how it compares with the SP1K just because of no burn-in, but overall the sound has more body and more bass with my 60's rock regardless of the Amp used. I have to say the Tube is a lot of fun, though I seem to keep going back to Hybrid half-and-half. So far I'm sticking with the default filter. Treble is perhaps a bit up there, but I think it will calm down a bit with burn-in, and I like treble. I'm most impressed with guitar sounds, lots of tones above and below the notes. All this is with an EE Zeus and a PWA 1960 2-wire. I'll be able to give better feedback after I put 50 hours or so on it. My SP1K took about 100 hours to settle in, so it will be a while before I'm comfortable making distinct comparisons. But certainly no buyer's remorse here.
