Proedros,
How different is Zeus from NT6? I thought both specialty is their treble, and difference is NT6 has thundering bass, while Zeus has less bass but better quality.
If so, shouldn't both are pretty much performing at close category to each other. What makes you like Zeus much more?
well Zeus sounds more spacious and effortless first of all. NT6 is amazing ciem and its clarity/transparency is off the chart (better than zeus infact). But zeus sounds more cohesive and full. the funny thing is that i use NT6 on the job/outside and i always catch myself saying great ciem (which it is) but Zeus is better. Now i am happy to have both of them (3 if you count the extra Zeus signature/switch) and no plans on selling any of them.
Nt6 does not have thundering bass , its bass is linear and lean while zeus is more full (that word again)
i think that NT6 is more slim/lean , zeus is more spacious/full
also remember that zeus costs twice as much and it is not 2 times better , so NT6 is probably the better bang for buck here
also remember that NT6 scored better than Katana in
@flinkenick TOTL shootout and katana costs like 700$ more so that says a lot about NT6
both zeus/nt6 have great synergy with wm1a , which is also another reason of keeping them both
zeus is better , but NT6 is up there too , i am sticking to givng it 5/5 * some months ago - for 1200$ this is one amazing ciem (and paired with the whiplash hybrid v3 cable , it gets even better)
. It sounds pretty good with 1A, it has typical DD bass, I think its good with pop and jazz, that's what I listen to mostly. If you can get it at around $300 to $400, it's a steal. Heck, I think it performs above its full price. You'll be surprised.
