Quote:1) Graphene produced best spatial imaging and overall resolution you've ever heard in your system;
2) Graphene is very detailed, but not in an unnatural or clinical sense;
3) Graphene bass is leaner than Copper, but may fill in more with use.
4) Copper is still more ideal in bass department for the time being.
For #1 I’m going to break it into two questions.
1a. Graphene produced best spatial imaging? Sort of, It was very detailed and vivid. Nice level of aliveness. The bass wasn’t quite to the same level yet, It was getting better and better. I have a hunch that with more time the bass would have fully filled out and then it would be a true statement.
1b. Graphene produced best overall resolution you've ever heard in your system? Yes.
2. Correct.
3. See above, This was me reporting live type of comments so nothing is final. I did hear the bass coming in more after more time.
4. This is a tough one. The bass had more detail and precision with the graphene. Copper was a little silkier, had the sexy sashay that the graphene was still trying to learn. Again, I think the graphene was heading that direction.
I want to stress that burnin is a wild animal. The first 150-200 hours of burning in the Lampizator TRP I thought I made a terrible purchase. It sounded really bad, I felt sick to my stomach spending so much money and having it sound lousy. Now I'm over the moon with the TRP.
Twice out of the components and once into the burn in rig. The rig is a bunch of fuse holders daisy-chained together. The ones that have a spring and you screw the cap on. So not much stress.
The Furutech fused IEC holds the fuse TIGHT. Removing the fuse is a struggle both from the component and from the little plastic piece that holds the fuse.
