What we need is a mod to do away with that lower treble peak.

This is the worst "cheap" can to walk away from....IMHO.
Mikros has a clean refined sound...like finely shifted flour...v absorbing once u get sucked into the way it presents the music...

Man i was wondering if I was the only obe who thought the treble was a bit sharp. Going to see how things go after a bit of burn in.
Huh! I haven't noticed that myself yet (and I was expecting it a bit before burn in). Most likely the music I am listening to isn't prone to that.
Fired up the Burson last night.
Nice bass rendering, but overall I was missing the tube "realism", body and breath of the Bada's 6SN7 tubes. The Burson also sounded comparatively 2-dimensional versus the Fitz-improved Bada PH-12. Plus the dynamics and micro-dynamics edge goes to the Bada.
The GCHA is due tomorrow. Had a good audition last week at the audio shop. Let's hear how things play out on the home system.
The winner of the first round (HA-160 v. GCHA) advances to final versus the Lehmann BCL [which I have not found yet].
Will keep the open-cell foam mod going for the next 50-100 hours.
Hmm that's probably the case. The kefs treble is a bit more subdued so it works well on some aggressive edm tracks. Though with some other music I listen to its not as bad... Though i don't think sharp was the exact, accurate term to use.
Try holding the home and power button for 20 secs on the clip.

I'm a bit reticent to post this since the hype train appears to have too much fuel already, but these are damn impressive. My reference for portable cans at this price range was my Gemini HSR1000 (a.k.a. Takstar pro 80) and the Mikros thoroughly whoop them on all (sonic) fronts. These have an incredibly wide and natural soundstage that belies their size.
If I manage to remove brain-crushing clamping force with some shoebox therapy I'll consider this $60 very well spent. The prospect of these improving with burn-in blows my mind.
