My only concern was the harmony between Michal’s creations and my HD800. I would also be trying my trusty Audeze LCD-2 and compare the Sonic Pearl 2 with his first Black Pearl with PSU, Cembalolab’s Spring 1 and Burson’s HA-160DS amplifiers. I parked myself on my desk and assembled a useful playlist. My first selection was Mullova. For me, Viktoria Mullova must be one of the three finest violinists currently active with James Ehnes and Vadim Gluzman. I am a big fan and followed her since her Bach albums. Her impeccable technique and soulful tone are what I look for in a violin player. She and pianist Kristian Bezuidenhout met on this Beethoven Violin Sonatas Nos 3 & 9 album released on Onyx. Here we have period instruments with shimmering synergy. EarStream’s reproduction of the violin’s timbre was pellucid without being harsh even on Mullova’s high-pitched passages. Bezuidenhout’s forte piano was a little dark but perfect for my HD800. Too much treble energy with the Sennheiser could be problematic. Because this treble was a little rolled off compared to the Cembalolab Spring 1, there was no need to decrease the overall volume.
