#SEMI TRANSPARENT MUSIC PLAYER TUMBLR PLUS#
When plugged to the venerable VE Run About Plus 5 amplifier + TempoTec Sonata E44, healthy amount of air and details revealed, still subtle and polished but a bit more pronounced and with richer density.
Treble details largely depends on the capabilities of the source. The Bravery offered ample subtle shimmer and sparkle to keep things exciting. The approach for Bravery Treble is similar to Shure KSE1500, except that of course KSE1500 being a lot more airy, surgically detailed, and realistically pristine to the last aeons (practically perfect). I am so used to the sparkly dominating Highs of Etymotic ER4SR and VE Duke. However I do wish it could have a bit more pronounced presence.
Treble staging remained in check, harmonizing perfectly with the rest of the spectrum. As a matter of saying it will not jump into my face and takes precedence over anything. TREBLEThe Bravery Treble is very subtle. The warmth is expertly balanced to remain realistic and not overly colored. All in all I am enjoying this rich, musical yet detailed Mids presentation quite a lot. Suffice to say the sound attunement is geared more towards “Unplugged Sessions” type of presentation instead of “Studio Reference” – unplugged sessions being more focused on reliving the moment of live acoustical performances rather than outright precision as emphasized by studio recordings – if that makes any sense. Natural length instrument decays with realistic reverbs. Instruments wise, Bravery offers yet again very analogue but precise sound – instead of being sharp and bitey edged, the tones are more rounded and with lots of polished smoothness. The Bravery remained faithful to the mastering depth as exhibited in the original recordings. This behavior is consistent with other vocalists (Sinne Eeg, Diana Krall, Nick Cave etc.). When paired with something less intimate like the TempoTec Sonata E44 or Abigail, Alison now takes additional two steps back. For example on the already Mids intimate Ovidius B1, the presentation is outright forward focused – as if Alison Krauss is singing her peaky Soprano vocals right into my face at one step distance. Depending on the source characteristics, I am pleased that the Bravery is able to scale with the nature of sources Mids staging. Deftly tuned to emit rich realistic analogue tone with commendable textures and depth. In fact I believe the overall warm-ish signature for Bravery starts here in the Mids with the Sonion single BA. MIDSBravery Mids are tuned towards being slightly intimate and warm. Overall tonality sounds proper to my ears, there’s no odd out of place to the nuances of each tones. SeeAudio Bravery came ready with all these. I have been tuning my Etys here and there to get that analogue-organic balanced sound that I appreciate more than anything else now. Bravery is definitely NOT bright sounding despite using Knowles BA as the dedicated High Frequency driver. Being so long with the likes of Etymotic Knowles based BA, I know how metallic and bright sounding they can be in native tuning.
All in all, this sound signature came as a surprise to me as I didn’t expect balanced armatures to sound this organic. In contrast TForce Yuan Li is more accurate in presenting neutral balanced sound. Warm but not necessarily dark like what I have heard from the likes of Moondrop Aria. In lay man’s term the Bravery is a warm sounding IEM. I would not say that the Bravery is neutral, simply because the lower frequencies does sound a bit more muscular and denser that what I am used to. Very analogue tonality and close to balanced neutral timbre. TIMBRE AND TONALITYThe Bravery is decidedly an organic sounding unit.
