First night impressions: Definitely a step-above the spring 3, respectively. But there are a few things the spring almost keeps up with, mainly in low level info. The spring’s good with that or maybe the amber isn’t as strong in that area. Amber is more neutral forward while spring is coloured relaxed. And, yeah, hi gain is where it’s at, though I’m literally 2 steps on my volume on the allnic w/ utopia. It’s the only position I can use, and putting it on low gain doesn’t help that much. lol Fortunately, I’m not getting any channel imbalance.
