In Reply to: ALL metal and ceramic or ceramic coated drivers have big time break up issues posted by morricab on June 15, 2015 at 04:12:11:
You have undoubtedly pinpointed driver material as THE source of certain sonic colorations. Good work!Now, all I'm left to wonder about is why ceramic driver break up nearly always creates "cool and analytical" sonic colorations instead of "warm and muddy" or "harsh and irritating" ones. Could be the materials themselves. Could be because, in our mind's eye, we envision "ceramic" as being of a certain way: Feels slightly cool to the touch at normal room temperatures, shiny hard surfaces, precision manufacturing, etc... Could be.
It almost seems that the term "cool and analytical" is associated with the absence of measurable distortion artifacts. Could it be that those ceramic drivers are performing too well, or too cleanly? Could be.
Certain types of sonic artifacts might be thought of as "musical" sounding ones - at least by some of us, some of the time. Could be.
