My initial impression once I opened the box was the build quality fit and finish was top notch and never mind the Anaconda thickness and weight. I rate this build as good as it gets for up to 4 - 5 X the Price.
Now the listening sessions:
The 1st. thing that jumped out at me from a cold start and no break in was the bass. After running through many genres it was evident how composed and tight it was as well as delivering noticeable texture and layers as well as gowing much lower than before. After a full 100hrs of breaking in I sat down again amd listened even more so not to miss inform. Well I can say that the Bass was all there with tight and muscular with plenty control again dipping down lower than before with a noticeable tones and layers. The mids where not hot or cold it was perfect natural through out never thin and never too thick yet silky smooth hold its composure throughout the spectrum. Now for the highs, it again was was able to distinguish the texture and sweet sizzle of the cymbals and the many little micro dynamics they produce, as a percussionist I zero into this intently as I listen. Putting in in simple terms everything sounded real not veiled not harsh not exaggerated guess that is the beauty of natural. After owning many power cords in the past wont mention whom costing many times over, I see no reason to ever spend a penny more.
Great Job!
