UPDATE: Auvio cable (on my office rig)
:
Poppin' out with Madonna's "Holiday". 3-D space is jumpin'/jammin'. Bass is tight and full.
Ethereal-sounding to quote our decorated Mikros 90 Hyper-MODDSTER, Lors. A bit of middle-high frequency emphasis/coloration with the Auvio, but it is fast and well-resolved.
Quarterflash's "Harden My Heart" very engaging. That high frequency emphasis--especially on the lead guitar--creates an "other-worldy" feel to this track. Transcendent, Man.
Culture Club's "Do You Really Want to Hurt Me" tight and brisk. Love the '80s POP!
Simply Red's "Holdin' Back the Years" : BIG bass on this track. Great upper mids and treble interplay between muted trumpet, tambourine and electric piano!
Mikros 90 + Auvio cable = Great POP CANnons.
Give them about 30-40 hours to settle down.
Rank-ordering of Cable Preferences (for pataburd):
Pipeline ET-4: clear, balanced and coherent
Auvio: nicely tuned for pop venues, slight upper mid/lower treble emphasis, nice 3-D space, +PRaT, +Slamm, +midbass presence over stock [Better than the ET-4 for POP IMHO.]
Stock: a little incoherent but respectably balanced
Beats knock-off: a little less resolved, +midbass presence over stock
FiiO RC MH1: soft, a bit lackluster and slow, but nice for red wine and candle light venues
The Mikros 90 are blowin' my mind--again!! after 400+ hours, these Babies continue to surprise and delight me!!!
LOVIN' MY LOGANSSSSSSS, MENGGGGGGG!
