Ah. According to Zach, there is no difference in frequency response. I feel like I am missing just a small bit of top end right now using the Au Suede Perf pads. I have a bunch of pads here I'll try out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Igz7E7bp_Ec

I think that’s the inherent nature of Auteur classic but I did not try swapping out pads or mesh as it was loaner unit.

This is what I had in my review here “ Treble is where Auteur lags behind some TOTL. I mean only thing that is missing in treble is some sparkle and bite.”

Yes. That's what I am experiencing. I am used to the 600s. The Auteur Cs have been responding well to tube changes and pad rolling, so I think I'll be able to get there. I would rather not change out the mesh if possible. And really, these have 24hrs on them so I should likely wait until I have 100hrs before making any big changes.

Pad rolling really really really changes the Auteur. Don't go by the published compendiums. I LOVE the Universe Suede with these. Everyone else hated these with the AuCs. For me they bring the treble bite, forward mids I like, and big clean bass.
