Early results are VERY VERY positive. Nothing went down. Better detail, wider deeper stage, more impact/dynamics in the midrange, sweeter top end, but just as extended. Better height and space around the instruments.
Pretty much all around better. I'm wondering how it'll breakin.

Cool thing was...like NO overhand adjustment from my helicon. I screwed it on. Dropping on my overhand gauge and sat down right where the helicon did...

More posts this weekend....

Jfrech,

Just wanted to let you know that I sent you an email through the audiogon system. It could wind up in your "junk" file of your email server so wanted to let you be aware.

Hope you are doing well!

Kind Regards,
Mary
