Without looking at the results, I felt #2 was the best. I actually liked it the best because I thought it was the LEAST sibilant out of the 4. #1 definitely had a cold peak to it that sounded harsh on the more delicate parts of a vocal (sss, ssshh, ch's, t's). My vote is for the Great River. |
Yeah - you're correct. This test is old as the hills, and I my opinions have changed since. I don't know if you could say my taste has matured - but it has definitely changed. What I think I - along with many others - was confusing presence and brightness with detail...Listening to this now, I'm shocked at how crispy everything is...
