Yes thats true phantom has the treble tamed by quiet a good margin. Enough in my opinion to not consider them for classical genras but so perfect for spotify and picky trebly songs. That was my case...

But I miss sub bass and better shimmery bells alike treble chirps, cant have that on phantom.

Thought if valk have the juicy treble and the sublime sub bass with the weapon IX and keep the phantoms outstanding authoritive mids all this could be a straight gift from heaven )
And effect audio cleopatra. Oouuu olala yes please I whant it ) ) )

Ive heard that one of the reasons for the tamed upper treble was actually feedback from Zeus. The tamed upper mids, not sure but it was an issue a lot of asian audiophiles had with Phantom. Female vocals were very veiled.

Even with a pure occ silver cable off the balance off the 1A this was a huge problem.

The sub-bass is insane on the Phantoms, easily the best for BAs. I take it you're not a fan of DD bass? I suspect the Weapon IX DD would match if not surpass it on the Valk. Mid's are BA still but its possible they retain the Phantom's, though it would need a lift in the upper mids for me.

The EST is a concern for me given the criticisms for recent tri-level hybrids and the treble. Hopefully Empire opted for a tuning that doesnt go in that direction.

Cleo comes with the Wraith (Explaining that almot 4k price tag). Valk has Eros II.

Either way the 1A/1Z should have no problem driving either on high gain. And most likely no hiss, based on my experience with the Khan.

just upgraded my card to 1tb, works great. Now can store about 37000 songs.

you should fill that stella glass with Duvel! Is this the sandisk that's going for $450? Someone's got them for $399 on ebay, but still seems steep when 512s are going for $70

only 1.6GB free, too! I think I have 800GB new files in the last month, so many tracks...

It s the san disk and agreed Duvel is better. well i do have more songs to fill up more cards but 1tb already helps a lot on the go.

I did the experiment of converting my lossless library to MP3 lame VBR V0. From 1.16TB down to 452GB. Took 2 Days, 20 hours to convert it all.

According to customer reviews on the Lexar, it has about 10 GB less than a true 512 GB card like the Samsung models. Not a huge deal, but worth noting. Like PNY and Kingston, the Lexar is really a 500 GB card. I've only seen Samsung ones that format to 476 GB which is true 512 GB unformatted.

the kingston formats to 499 and the Lexar to 494, but the lexar is WAY faster, a bargain at only $58

Forgot to mention I am using 1024 base Windows format. You are using 1000 base format so the Samsung would be about 510 GB. Still, the Lexar deal seems to be the best $/GB.

Any difference in quality, that is long term viability of the drive?

Was waiting for deal on the 1TB. Thanks for the heads up! Just bought one myself for the 1Z

I personally have not had any failures with any of the aforementioned brands. For music storage there is minimal wear and tear on the memory since it is 99% read.
