Would like to remind readers that a/b comments on these excellent carts are only a bit of this and that. The degree of differences is no near make or break. It is only curiosity and itches that drive these people with multi tts/carts.

Male voice: 2
Ochestra: 2

The AF3P combo mid-bass is organic but highs are a bit subdued, Vyger combo is more open and extended on highs but would be good if there’s a tough more bass/mid-bass

Do we know which is which on the videos? May be I wasn't paying attention...

Yes, if you pay attention to the arm on each table

Vocals:

Post #3 = 2
Post #5 = 1.

1 sounds cleaner, maybe punchier (?). Slightly more vocal texture.

2 sounds warmer, a bit "tubey", more bloom.

I would probably pick #1 based on videos but in person I could easily reverse that choice.

@gian60 it's great! Which speakers are we hearing here?

Edit: my listening was done through a Centrance DACport HD and headphones.

I could happily live with both sonics wise. If I were buying, it would come down to reliability and ease of use and ease of regular maintenance.

To be on topic

Orchestral - TechDAS/SAT/Lyra. More spatial projection, sound not bunched up inside my head as I am using headphones.

Male vocals - Vyger/Opus. Curiously I found the TD to be overblown in terms of the chest tones and the Vyger combo sounded more right.

I tried to look after listening. Still wasn't 100% sure which was playing as the video is a bit grainy.
Me too. They both appear to be spinning in the videos. We shall see when Ked reveals all.

Do Ked and Marc get to share a cell while they are in WBF prudery limbo? They'll be fighting with plastic forks over the Walkman.

I really don't want to declare a winner. Headphones and tubed headphone amp.

2 sounds less vivid but more natural. 1 sounds more vivid and dynamic, but perhaps a bit enhanced. I like both of them.
