as people describe the Noir is how i feel about my new to me Fourte. can be just as technical as u18t but does it without saturating subject in scrutiny. there is also some swing and the bass is good and solid but can also be fluffy too and so there is great variety. i'm s**t at this but there is air in the Fourte's presentation and that isn't totally easy for open back over ears to achieve (i think).
i am beginning to think it not ideal with pw 1950s maybe (i do this and it sounds really great for commuting but pretty stark i think (need a hugo to make it swing) because i think pw 1950s is a rather flat presentation. doesn't work together to optimise a specific feature of fourte (air).
previously 1960 was recommended by somebody who has actually heard various PW cables. what is working on the Noir?
hopefully one of these new colourful ones from Plussound maybe?
