Less than two years ago (when aktive Akubarik was released) I bought ex-dem 242s from the designer of T1. As you might understand I've heard T1 several times before. I also heard 212s visiting two forum members wereas one of them had a pair for sale. Eventually my choiche was these 242s.u252agz wrote:....
It would be interesting to compare 242s to the T1s but I am not sure I want to really discover the answer - I am enjoying the music too much to then discover that there is yet another level that I should be aspiring to. Maybe after a few years when I have had my fill of the 242s.
Also, accepting that the T1s are more musical ( Fredrik is usually correct in these matters), would I be able to live without some of the lovely sounds coming from the 242s.
I suspect I would, but am too frightened to go down that road, at this present moment in time.
I am just grateful that we have such great products to compare and contrast; and find our own particular sweet spot between musicality and sound.
No, I don't regret this. Heard T1 several times after. Yes, Fredrik is usually right and I will not say against him. T1 is THAT good but as you put it "find our own particular sweet spot between musicality and sound".
Akubarik on the other hand, that's the one I would like to.
