As soon as I began listening to the 24/96 V-Link without the beneficial Resonance Tuning of the Carbon Fiber BDR Cones I immediately noticed that the Music had lost the pace, rhythm and timing that it once had along with the incredible attention to detail that the V-Link immediately regained once it was returned to being rigidly coupled to the desktop with its original set of .. | | Amp/Receiver/Speaker... | Soft dome tweeters or ribbon | On 2013-01-30 10:58, sonyeslover wrote: Ribbons are my favorite tweeter, they sound fantastic, very detailed, yet not harsh.
