At least for me, after about 100 hours of break-in, my Gold now sounds a bit more rounded and enjoyable for classical piano. However, compared to another system I have (B&W 686 S2 and Sonos CONNECT:AMP) that costs only slightly more than $1000 for stereo, Phantom Gold still isn't audibly better at piano. RE: Sound of Piano - MountainGuy - 27-Jan-2017 I did not like piano too much with my Silver. But I do like piano a lot with my Gold. RE: Sound of Piano - JDtheJD - 01-Feb-2017 LGlwreetings Everyone! This is my first post and perhaps my third visit to this site which so far looks engaging. We have yet to receive our new phantoms so I am not yet able to speak authoritatively, but this threat interests me for two key reasons. First, I had decided years ago that is was better to invest in a player piano rather than invest in audio equipment if I wanted to capture the live performance in my home so given a choice between a 20k dollar audio system or a 20k dollar player piano, I would go with the piano. Second, in thinking about songs I was going to first play, I thought of "Kara Remembers" as by Joohyun Park and Bear McCreary along with other similar songs. I don't expect that it would sound equal to a live performance but I dont think it will disappoint either, I won't rule out that possibility either. Time will tell.

Try the audioquest Z3 powercables to the feets of the tree. RE: Sound of Piano - jonstatt - 02-Feb-2019 As a keen piano player myself I do know what to listen for. Firstly and most importantly, every real piano sounds different, even two of the same model. Secondly, Recording techniques have improved but recording a live instrument, particularly the piano is still a long way from perfect. Finally I find a piano won’t sound right unless played at the right volume. A piano is not a quiet instrument. The golds do a VERY good job of piano reproduction in my opinion. |
