Reviewers from parttimeaudiophile have found the following***:
Piano tonality improved further with additional weight in the keys and improved transient response. Strings received more texture and weight. Reproduction of the piano and cello would be hard to beat with perfection in tonality, weight and transient speed. Room ambiance definitely improved and the kick drum became a little more weighty.

Pros
  • Impressive tonality and transient response
  • Excellent build quality
  • Impressive bass and treble performance
Cons
