Got my translucent black ATE today. Got to let them burn-in littlebit before sharing impressions. From what I`ve heard so far out of them, seems to sound same as silver ones (from memory). Will grill-mod them again for sure, this time with wood+golden grill+custom cable ;P
Plastic molding is much better quality than silver but nozzle neck is still not sure what "gender" it is, lol.
About ANV, I really think I need to do exchangeable nozzle mod too because I`m not sure I`m getting 100% proper fit - need longer nozzles. Want to try ED9 golden nozzles on them to boost littlebit sub-bass.
Btw, added some walnut today to my wood-mod ANV, looks much nicer now imo:
One thing I regret - leaving stock cable. It`s not bad but want something better.
Unfortunately can`t change it anymore, permanent. Oh well... another reason to buy 2nd ANV
