I said I wasn't going to get involved in a quality judgment as that is question of personal taste and preference. Technically the tools are of different composition, that is a fact and not open to interpretation. In my experience, when you change the capsule and change the amplifier the resultant sound of the product also changes.

Whether or not this material change in construction gives a pleasing or less than pleasing response is a very much open to interpretation, an interpretation I have made on a personal level but one I will not share, nor will I participate in any discussion on that level .

I would highly suggest that everyone take the time to listen to both / all and form their own opinions as to how any of these tools will work for their personal sense of aesthetic and their general applications.

Peace.
