Thanks Mr. Dorsey,
It's interesting that the Millennia is more neutral to me, because the Earthworks spec says it's flat +/- .01db over the spectrum, but Millennia gives a +/-3db spec. So I thought the Millennia would have some db dips and peaks somewhere in the range that would cause it to be less neutral. But the Millennia has the reputation for being super-neutral, and I'm easily duped by specs. :-) |

This goes to tell you how useless frequency response measurements are these days. They are both so flat that it doesn't matter. Now, if you could see distortion spectra on them, THEN you might start seeing something interesting. But the Millennia has the reputation for being super-neutral, and I'm easily duped by specs. :-) Both Earthworks and Millennia have excellent support before and after the sale, and should be able to get you something to try out with a credit card deposit. Ignore the specs and listen to both. --scott -- "C'est un Nagra. C'est suisse, et tres, tres precis." |
