I'm not Precog but I really love Clairvoyance's tuning, perhaps more than MMKii. and I love Oracle's tuning more than both Clair & MMKii.Hey, @Precogvision can you please share any feedback on how Monarch Mk2 compares to the Clairvoyance (and perhaps Oracle Mk1) in terms of mids/vocals and technicalities?
I know many love the MMk2 and looking purely at how the graphs of the these compare it seems that the Clairvoyance (and perhaps Oracle Mk1) should be no worse.
Any feedback by Precog or links to his impressions and thoughts highly appreciated, thanks!
Oracle's midrange is lovely with just the right amount of note weight & it's quite snappy. female vocals are realistic to my ears. lower midrange is a little warm-ish which makes the overall midrange presentation luscious, though, the upper midrange can be a tad thin. the treble can be wispy and it might show a somewhat "granular" quality at a high loudness level, so, it's very ear tips dependent. ear tips with the same length & same bore width as Spinfit CP145 are recommended. I find Spinfit W1 gives the best "tactility" to the sound perhaps because of the material. oh, Oracle also has the best sense of micro-dynamic shift among them, for example, on vibratos & horn attacks.
resolution-wise, I think we all know the order. to me, MKii is like 1 time bigger in resolution than Clairvoyance & about 3 to 4 times better than Oracle.
