Yeah, I can see that too. Itā€™s not about 1 particular point on the FR, but the sound youā€™re hearing is a culmination of all the details, peaks and valleys etc. The lower pinna plus the tuning in the 300-400 hz region is most likely the cause of the added warmth. Good point, dude

Agreed, my preferences have been all over the place.

I hadnā€™t even considered how close the graphs are, that would be a great example of graphs lying to us. I agree with @domq422 , they are both lean a bit warm, but otherwise not that much in common.

It is a bit of an apple-to-oranges comparison since it is a single DD vs 2DD+3BA.

How is compare with Moondrop Variations?

Doscinco vs cinocotres, which has rich, lush and overall better vocals (both male and female)?

Check out my review comparison between the two sets, I hope itā€™ll help!

Short answer; the Doscinco is warmer for sure.

Im looking to get either the Doscinco or the Cincotres as an upgrade to my Tangzu Fudu. My Fudu Slams and has lots of bass quantity but the texture and quality is kinda lacking, in fact i like the bass texture better on my Cinno. This being said, which set has the best bass texture and rumble out of the Doscinco and Cincotres?

Texture is the same on both IMO, and rumble is pretty even as well; itā€™s just a question of whether you want more warmth and midbass at the expense of clarity in the lower mids, or if you want a cleaner sound with less warmth. Someone else will have to make the specific Fudonand Cinno comparisons as I have had neither.

If you want a DIRECT upgrade to the Fudu, I say the Shozy Form 1.1 would be it. But seeing as how @John_W_Clark is still waiting for his unitā€¦guess I should not recommend it.

Iā€™d agree with @Sonofholhorse here and say that the texture is about the same on both, however, comparing it to the Fudu is hard for me because I havenā€™t heard them in months now.

The Sub-bass rumble is about the same on both sets as well (talking the Doscinco and Cincotres). The real difference is located in the lower mids and mid-bass with the Doscinco having more warmth and less defined mid-bass punch but an overall higher quantity. The Cincotres has more ā€˜popā€™ and punch in the mid-bass when it comes to kicks, but less overall quantity, resulting in maybe a touch more texture. But itā€™s negligible when it comes to the texture department. I go into more detail in my write-up for sure.

How does the Doscinco compete against the MP145?

I noticed they are quite similar in tuning.

Doscinco has a more natural playback overall at all volumes, harder hitting bass, smoother, balanced treble, (cymbals in particular) compared to the somewhat uneven upper mids to treble and power hungry response of 145.
Vocals come off slightly recessed on 145 in comparison.

Having a hard time deciding beyeeen the Cincotres or Doscinco for metal, specifically death and black metal. Any thoughts?

Excuse my ignoranceā€¦ :raised_hand:
If that is anything like Black Sabbath or something with heavy use of distortion pedals, duel electric guitars - high BPM (double bass drum/kick drum) the Cincotres has a bit less warmth, where Dosinco might be a more laid back warm clean jam (classic rock)ā€¦the speed and chaos of Death Metalā€¦only group I know is Cannibal Corpseā€¦Death metal ??..woul be better on Cincotres.

Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Old Metallica and Cannibal Corpse are my only refs in my library that might apply

EDIT:

Yeah, ā€¦and theses dudes are still around? Have not heard anything from them since years ago

So what Iā€™m hearing you say is that the Doscinco has the upper hand in all areas of sound?

Is there anything MP145 does better, and if there is, can an argument be made that is reasonable for some people to prefer it over the Doscinco or is the Doscinco basically just a straight upgrade?

Thank you for your input!
All great artists, Black Sabbath, Metallica, and Iron Maiden were my stepping stone to death metal so they will always have a special place in my heart!
Cannibal Corpse is definitely still rocking on, saw them live last year and they put on heck of a show!

Based on your suggestion, it sounds like I should go more towards the Doscinco for slower black metal type music or the cincotres for speedier death metal type, thatā€™s a tough one as my library is split 50/50 for those 2 genres, decisions decisions!
