I prefer the gold as well. Most of my stuff is 16/44.1 or 24/96 using a Fiio e10k.Tried the brass barrels closed with/without sponge all day yesterday.
I just don't get that rich tonality with the brass barrels that I get with the gold ones when the mastering on FLAC is spot-on,nor are they v-shaped in my set-up....maybe out a cheaper phone,yes ...going in that direction.
Either found the brass barrels ragged in upper-end or sterile with my set-up.
When the gold ones are powered correctly, they sound superb (for the money).
Looking forward to get the ED10s for exercise. Thanks for the tips/advice everyone. Earphones now sorted after a long break from earphones.
