What I don't get is what does Ruthenium mean to the sonic performance of the Edition 10 ? There is no information about its audio properties (damping, resonance, ...etc.) so I am wondering what makes Ultrasone pick this material. From all I read, it is like making something unique for the sake of uniqueness, and more like a marketing plot ?
Also, is Ultrasone using solid Ruthenium or just a thin layer as decoration ? Any one can tell ?
F. Lo
Ruthenium makes Edition8 and Edition10 scratch resistant and looks good but is prone to fingerprints, that is why Ultrasone went to paladium with additional version of Edition8. Ruthenium $ 250 oz, paladium $467 oz, it is not solid, it would be heavy and spendy.
