Greetings for starters, new member;
After Googleing to see if it's covered anywhere, i came across a single thread, within which a single person offers an opinion regarding a "slightly" modded T1 -whatever that may mean, they're not explaining- versus a stock 007-tii. Not quite the fair comparison.
So for context: I currently own a heavily modded T1 with a B serial number, which i want to replace (and donate to the nephew, hooked him into this, so least i can do); i've come across a very good local offer for a used stock 007-tii but haven't ever heard it, stock or modded.
Assuming anyone's in a position to answer, i've been wondering whether there'd be any differences between identically modded T1 and 007-tii?
More realistically put, perhaps someone having compared them stock to stock?
* By identically i mean both having a CCS mod, both having said same tube replacements, both having furutech sockets, DIY gold-plated STAX headers, etc. etc. Same exact things done to them both.
While the financial aspect is always a factor when determining the 'worth' of a purchase, i'd kindly ask you refrain from factoring it in. It's a very good offer and as such am only wondering if it'd be accoustically worth it for me. My T1's already modded, his 007 is not, so as it is it'd be a leap of faith; which i want to avoid
Am also purposefully not bringing any specific headphone into this; am aware of the T1's driving 'limitations'; also not a concern. Amp vs amp please.
And thank you for reading.
