Hi I have auditioned to Diablo 300 prior to the darTZeel CTH-8550 purchase. Overall i did like Diablo 300 , found it dynamic and engaging. To me it seemed to add its own musical tone and coloring , to be hones i did like spice spice that id added to the music. After listening to darTZeel CTH-8550 i find it even more detailed and bit less colored compared to the Diablo. Music flows more effortlessly and i find it more organic and true to the source. I almost can feel that it has less electronics in its signal path compared to Diablo. Diablo build quality is very nice but darTZeel CTH-8550 takes it to another level. Holding remote is like holding a gold bar. I wish it had bit more on the bottom end ( could be my preference ) but i have REL 212 going with Sopras and its a very nice balance. |
