SOUND & TECHNICALITIES
(The following impressions are done with the silver nozzle in use, which presents a mild V-shaped tuning.)
With this setup, the MP143 has a sub-bass focus, with decent rumble to 20 Hz. Bass is speedy with minimal bleed in the mid-bass. Texturing is above average and it copes well with complex bass riffs. Overall, we hear a clean-sounding bass (the red nozzle is of course bassier but isn't as tight).
The lower midrange has a slight depression, but is quite transparent as there isn't a big bass encroachment. Upper mids hit ~ 7 dB ear gain, which pushes vocals forwards without overtly veering to shouty territory. This is in contrast to the usual steroid-infused upper mids in other CHIFI gear, and the red and gold nozzle will further tame down this area.
Treble has moderate extension, but even with the silver nozzle, the MP143 isn't a very airy set. This region is quite sibilant-resistant, so all-things-considered, the MP143 should be a safe offering for the treble-sensitive amongst us, more so on the red nozzle.
In technicalities, with the silver nozzle installed and with amplification, the MP143 has quite an expansive soundstage in all 3 dimensions. Micro-details are present but it isn't the most analytical planar set. Imaging and instrument separation are average amongst the other planars.
