I'm a reviewer, it is my job to present honest information

Not everyone is afraid of sibilance, and some people are way less sensitive to it. I'm one of those people actually, I am less disturbed by Sibilance than most. But I know UFO 112 is a touch sibilant, and easy to reveal it, which means that especialy with older recordings, it will be visible. New and very well mastered music doesn't show it, and Dubstep / Pop / Electronic / Anime-related music sounds really good, but I would not use UFO 112 for punk and old rock, especially bands like Alexisonfire, where they really can show the sibilance of that album.

The trade there is that UFO 112 has great detail and a holographic sound.

After many different combo & cable testing, here is my latest set-up: AK1000SP + Shure KSE1500 with MandarinES eartips + Brimar cable.

A long way since the TU-05 Amp + AK100 + Fostex TH900 pictured above post (still a very good sound but... much less portable ! )

Endgame ? You never know ! :wink:

Nice, was so tempted to get the R32 even when I knew I was going to have to keep the Frau happy! That blue one was to die for:wink: These were my babies, sorry for the poor quality as I put these together some time ago!



So as to not stray too far of the thread topic today's venue is:


Very nice
Cars and today's rig

You cannot be wrong with Mark Knopfler. :smile_phones:

Indeed, Love over Gold has some of the best licks he’s ever laid down. Of course I feel the same way about Carlos’s “Blues for Salvador” :rolling_eyes:
