[QUOTE="fdlsys, post: 1110398, member: 2310"] It's a bit difficult for me to understand this sentence, so I'll assume that you meant to say that WITH Achromat "[I]distortion generating resonances are removed to dramatically improve the sonic experience...[/I]" while WITHOUT it "[I]upper frequency information tends to be truncated[/I]". Correct? If yes, well, I have bad news for you. You fell for the Achromat "splash", the lure of the exaggerated upper range response. I bet you also heard the "improvement across the spectrum with better defined / faster bass...". By all means, if you are a straight 4/4 rock music fan, go for it - it sits well with the genre. But I am honestly really surprised that someone who listens to classical music and forever pursues the ideal sweet sound of violin would fall for it. PS: Please define the A/B for me. Identical Sondeks? As in, exactly the same generation, belt age, base components and upgrades and setup by the same person? Same arms, tonearm wiring, phono cables, cartridges? One with, the other without Achromat? [/QUOTE]
