Thanks for your input. I listen to a lot of distorted bright guitar, as I'm mostly a prog/metalhead, but I'm into many music genre that use clean strings, such as jazz, classic, blues, flamenco and etc. So, for the price do you think the Blessing can be one of the bests an allrounder? What's is it that you don't like, the timble/tonality? What do you listen to (just so I can hae an idea/reference). I have the Blon-03 and like it's tonality (aside from the bass quantity). If you have it and can use as reference for comparison would be nice.
Also I play guitar too, but I don't intend to use the B2 as a monitor, for the moment.
PS: Really liked the second song you mentioned. That was a nice find, thanks
I'm afraid it's not the best all rounder; doesn't mean it's not a bad iem per se, but due to its tuning, the blessing 2 as I've reported (Moondrop thread) is picky on recording and style. Tbph, I knew it was a gamble purchase (Semi-retired from this hobby) it's a curiosity purchase really. Tricky tonality may lead to bad timbre ime. Too much emphasis on 3k shout and not enough below it. I'm really not impressed the way trumpets are in my face (will upright bass can disappear sometimes if not most of the time) but distant violins gain more presence in large scale recordings, with the subbass sweeps swell every now and then.
Tricky iem... it has some good points but I'm partly disappointed on their decision because it would have been really really good. I'm gonna medical tape mod this and give more appropriate feedback.
Ot aside, I'm gonna look for the graph on this Tea iem... it sounds promising from what I've read.
My personal library is eclectic and obscure compared to popular, includes Dir-en-Grey, AsBloodRunsBlack (first album) -- Death Metal?
Meshuggah and Metallica-- tonality sounds off
Jucifer and Electric Wizard -- yet to try
Stuff I listen to often:
King Crimson -- fond of the Wetton/Brufford Era
Yes- Close to Edge (Progeny Live is MAD INTENSE)
Tanya Tagaq - Animism (could have been a metal singer easy) --artsy, ambient and an imaging treat.
Nina Simone, Trilok Gurtu, John Zorn.
Ron Sexsmith because I need my mellow songwriting.
That's all for now.
Going back to the Bill Frisell tune, I swear his tube amp/rig comes out alive with the B2. But yeah, I'm not sure I'd use these live myself...
