Rhapsido Return Scorings

Average Tunign Grade

Tonality remains inconsistent, with uneven peaks and dips that disrupt musical flow. You'll constantly notice peaks or dips pulling focus.

Average Technical Grade

E-

Everything sounds flat and suffocated, with even elementary passages losing definition and energy. Expect little in the way of micro-details.

Mids C-

Midrange is passable yet unrefined, revealing grain and occasional harshness. It sounds a bit grainy on detailed recordings.

Treble E-

The top end feels muffled, with air and shimmer barely audible. Ambient reverb tails are chopped short.

Dynamic range feels limited, smearing micro-contrast and transient attack. Soft details are smoothed into the background.

Soundstage B

The presentation supplies a believable venue outline where each instrument owns its pocket of space. The stage opens up nicely for live cuts.
