Beside I'm not a Goto eGotist and I own about 7-10 years old drivers, for what I'm concerned their sound is correct, quite lean if compared to 2440 and 2420, thicker sounding - but very, VERY detailed, quick and musical. |

Surely to a very converted person. Mocking the Moronity of audio public is something that filed a large portion on my site. So…
Anyhow, returning back to the subject of the thread - I was asking because I do have an interest to learn how Goto drivers sound. You should not be the Goto-evangelist – in fact all of them are Morons. All that I was asking is to pass your observation about the drivers. It is not a big deal that your use 7-10 years old drivers. I use 60 years old drivers- so what? There was a major advancement in sound reproduction filed during the last 2-3 years, wasn’t it?
Anyhow, Stefano, among what you said there was something interesting. You said that from your point of view GOTO are” quite lean if compared to 2440 and 2420, thicker sounding - but very, VERY detailed, quick” May I ask you: did you try to rectify this leanness by loading the plated of your SETs harder: for instance if you use 10:1 with 2440 then to use 6:1 with GOTO? I always suspected and expected that GOTO must be “lean”. This feeling I dot from a few years back what I was playing with filed-coils and discovered that pursuing for high flux rate did killed the harmonics at the bottom of the driver (well documented at my site). Goto goes for very powerful magnets with a lot of flux – it might not be necessarily a good thing (it might be as well if some other thing is made rationally). Anyhow, I feel that loading harder the amp might be an interesting direction to go. It would give you more harmonics with GOTO and it would be very interesting the rate with which Goto gain body of sound and loose the “quickness”. The only thing that I ma afraid that it might give the effect of a correcting low mass of MC cartridges with too shallow VTA, if you know what I mean…
Nevertheless, I think the dynamic with which GOTO would react to SET loading (if you know you SET well) will be a good indication of what doing on.
