Coming from a Shure M97xE. You think I will notice a difference? 
Audio Technica VM540ML v. N97xe Jico SAS
Sorry Viridian, trying to find out the capacitance of the Mani, doesn't look like it has it directly? Perhaps it's in the details here? Gain 1 = L, Gain 2 = L (Decca Mode)Gain: 30dB THD: <0.005%, A-weighted, at 1V RMSSNR: >90dB, A-weighted,...

I would like detail, but want to keep nice full bass. Anything to worry about with the 540? It's not too bright or thin?

Will Technology Kill the Audiophile Hobby?
LOL Millercarbon...I remember a video from Paul McGowan on YouTube sometime in the past couple months stating that we are at around 50-60% toward perfect sound and that in the next 20-30 years there should be some advancements that get us most of ... 
Will Technology Kill the Audiophile Hobby?
I could imagine a neural shunt similar to what Neo uses in the Matrix to learn Kung Fu, but instead, you can use it to hear the music as if you were there live. Or at the very least use it to virtually transport yourself to Michael Fremer's house ...
