finally the dm6 arrived. I've had high expectations because of the hype... i still need to do more tip rolling and possibly buy copper cables and burn ins but as it stands i personally like the kpe sound signature better. it sounds more natural to me. the dm6 sound good but there's colouration ( i can't figure out what it is yet but sounds different) and treble is more pronounced and lacking sub bass. i do think the dm6 is more resolving but that could be because of the increased treble. kpe to me has the bigger sounds stage.
summary:
kpe let's you enjoy the recording as is and as it's intended for better or worse. not lacking in any frequency
dm6 more in your face but technically capable so it still sounds good. has holes in the frequency range that's compensated by other frequencies (possibly in a good way..). or maybe not holes but other frequencies are heard more...sorry not sure, I'm still lesrning how to describe what i hear
lots of rambling because I'm still collecting my thoughts but i wanted to share my initial impressions.
