Warm and dry eh? Btw, where can i learn how to do review like yours based on the sound signature chart like how you, Woody, oogenesisoo did? I think the chart looks quite cool
I want to amend the above with: excellent timbre, not simply good. I still think of the TGX line up this is my favourite. DS has the resolution/detail but strings aren't as textured as they are on Alpha, in my opinion.
As for learning to review, and I don't consider my reviews on par with oogenesisoo, it's really just a case of close ab'ing between models and using language consistently to describe what you hear. To place yourself on the tonality chart you just need to hear a variety of transducers to know where abouts you fall on the axes. It's not scientific despite the appearance of the chart!
