Another AK'er and I independently compared his Six to some other gear. In comparison to a Sony 6055, Mac 1900, and some separates, it sounds relatively thin by comparison. The bass is there, the highs are there - I think the mids are just less sweet, warm, and full.
At first, I wasn't sure if it was just the sound signature of the single digits, but when I compared the 6055 to my Eight Deluxe, the 8D wasn't thin at all. The two (6055 and 8D) actually sounded fairly similar - both very good and balanced.
The Six is pretty much original - just the phono board has been recapped.
My question is: would just a tone/preamp board recap likely bring back the mids and fullness to the sound, or could it just as likely be the driver/amp board or main/big power caps?
Just trying to get a sense of how extensive a recap would be required based on others experiences.
