    Hey Darren

    How do these compare to the Shuguang Kt-88Z 50 year treasures I got from you? Do you think they would have pretty much the same sound? as I think Psvane & Shuguang are the same. just curious.
    And GLWTS!

    Hey Voltz...good to hear from you bud! IMO there is a slight difference between the two, although very similar. I'm not the best with descriptions, but here goes....

    I would say that the treasures are smooth & lush sounding compared to the Psvane smooth & more detailed sound

    laid back (Treasure) vs a little bit more forward(Psvane). Again they both sound similar but the Psvane are a little more dynamic!

    They both produce that buttery smooth texture, but the Psvane's highs and bass are more pronounced
