Saladin vs Saladin+ (Paired with Aroma Musical Box Twins)
Saladin takes on a warm approach, providing a natural & rich listen. Bass performance is full-bodied and texture is rendered with great smoothness. The midrange shines in the lower mids department and the thickness helps to express male vocals effortlessly. Treble presentation is smooth. On the other hand, Saladin+ boasts quicker bass decay, more forward midrange and better treble extension. Soundstage is noticeably greater in magnitude for both aspects, width & depth.



Just ordered the loki 8 wire for my u18. And so the wait begins!
Looking forward to your impressions on the pairing! :)

What's that? I got mine from Japan. Not sure if that's a special version or not.

The box says "no. 5 JP version"
The termination is of rhodium plating which brings bit of brightness out...
