So I succumbed to swapping out the Dekoni's back to my fairly new stock pads.
I mean what I was hearing was nice and all, but the more I listened the more I knew I wasn't getting everything in terms of focus and depth and inner detail etc. that my system was capable of delivering.
I KNEW that there was more there, there, than what was being presented.
So I fussed and learned how to remove these fairly easy to install pads.
Which weren't as easy to remove I might add…
Immediately the impact of all percussion returned with proper leading edge dynamics, and obviously so.
The same with the degree of focus and inner detail and REALNESS, all returned to levels that were missing.
To the extent that I could say that the 'moisture on their breath' returned.
And yes the soundstage also stopped being 'pushed back' and was more immediate and 4d.
IOW more evenly spaced in 3d and stable thru time (the 4th d).
I figure they might just be the perfect way to smooth out the delivery of music for those who might find this makes for 'better' in their system.
And they are very comfortable even though the total contact area is many times greater than the stock pads.
Perhaps I'll cut out the inner dust shields and try them again.
I figure they should make them at least 1/2 the thickness, perhaps even less.
Which might be why the stock pads are so thin to begin with.
But for now, I just wanna enjoy it as my system grabs me and my feet and head start danc'n in place (HB&W - T3)
