Post Subject: Headphones sound from playbackPosted by Romy the Cat on: 12/4/2017
I have a local audio guy coming to my room recently and he hive
me an interesting feedback. He said that my playback sounds like a headphone. I
had years back, when I lived in Boston apartment somebody told the same things.
There is a point to comparing the sound of my playback with headphones. One of
the objective that I always had is that listening a playback installation at
the listening position with and without good headphones should not make any difference.
For sure it will be a difference in term of space, imaging and a few other
aspects of presentation but overall balance, the unity of sound, proportion dynamics
across octaves, tonal aspects should be generally the same or even better. Headphones
do allow mentally focus of this of that aspect sound of music, a playback
sound do the same. It is important to note that association of sound of playback
with sound of headphone has absolutely no indication of musicality of playback.
But is does serve a good technical listening starting point.Rerurn to Romy the Cat's Site
