Behaviour & character
The Shiro retrieves fine inner detail and air while keeping the Takumi sense of calm and order.
Its fine-elliptical diamond reads delicate modulations with minimal groove wear.
Voices gain texture and space; cymbals and strings are reproduced with natural extension, free from harshness.
The overall impression is open, transparent, and effortlessly balanced.
