Hi Guys
I have a 5.5G iPod with SE530's and I've been happy with the sound for the last few years, but as always you want to improve the sound eventually.
So I bought the RSA Emmeline Mustang P-51. I ran it in for over 150hrs before even listening to it, which was hard to do.
Anyway I finally started to listen and I instantly noticed a slightly better instrument separation, treble detail and a tad more punch and clarity in the bass. Nothing major though, but worth the money I think.
However after using this combination for a few months now, I find it hard to get a sound/EQ for lengthy listening. It's the mids, they are too hard/forward and my ears are compressing on high mids (not all albums, but most) it's driving me crazy.
So I'm thinking of the Westone 3's as a replacement.
Any other suggestions would be welcome.
Main artists I listen to:
George Duke
Incognito
Level 42
Acoustic Alchemy
Donald Fagan/Steely Dan
Sting
Some classical and other artists in the rock genre
Cheers
