Reply to comment by Fc-Construct in 7Hz Timeless AE Review: A Year of Difference? by Fc-Construct

Most measurements I have seen, including yours, the upper mids look a lot smoother in the AE.

Is that difference audible at all? You can see in all these measurements the OG has a very sharp dip at 3-3.5kHz, I have it and mine has that as well. I can't say I really hear it in music, but it seems gone in the AE, smoothed over. Both that dip, and its absence in the AE, seem consistent over multiple people's measurements.

Yea it's interesting, I noted that as well in my measurements. The upper mids on the AE don't have as much of a jagginess to it while the original does.

In the original Timeless, I would never have been able to tell you that it graphs jaggy like that. With the AE, I don't think it's really all that audible but I'll admit that my focus is often drawn to the bass rather than the mids with the AE. IMO, the upper mids is more than fine on both so I don't stress the measured differences.
