How does it compare to your Clarinet? I read on Head-Fi that you we were raving about it paired with storm. Btw Clarinet or Clarinet Pro?
I have the standard Clarinet, and it indeed handle the STORM, which was a shock that it would be able to do that. Now, it wasn’t optimal, but it got the job done, including for the Subtonic employee, so for anything less than a STORM, it should provide optimal drive except in rare cases. The Ru9 is a different tonality. Clarinet is livelier, bassier, and more mid forward, but remember, you can tailor the Clarinet to voice three different sound signatures. Essentially bass boosted, reference, and rock (which sits somewhere in between, and it’s the fw I settle with). Ru9 is more refined, warmer, has that tube harmonics and resonance that’s so addicting, has a slightly more dimensional stage, but less exciting bass emphasis. I won’t be selling my Clarinet, as it offers something complimentary, and nothing really overlapping in terms of signature.
Thanks for the sumup, much appreciated! ![]()
Was eyeing the Clarinet Pro for a while, don´t really need it but got some store credit to spend and am curious about it ![]()
