In the Thread: Interested in reading more of your headphone experiences
Post Subject: Romy, these look like most of the only other possibilities that might "work"Posted by SearcherOfBetterSound on: 5/6/2007
I've sort of "analyzed" your thinking (more like taking what you've said so far and continued with my own ideas) and come to the conclusion the most you could do in "your" (could be more like mine) type of way to try to improve your playback would be trying Audio-Technica's ATH-M50 headphone, trying the Stax 4070 electrostatic headphone with a McAlister electrostatic headphone amp, and maybe other cheapish sources. There can be more stuff to think about of course, but there's the base of whatever's left in my head to think about as possible main ideas, especially headphone market-wise. I'd be especially interested in hearing anyone's experiences and comparisons of the electrostatic setup, with an ATH-M40fs or ATH-M50. I have this theory that the electrostatic should be more spacious than the Audio-Technica (not as "psychedelically" as other electrostatics), yet have an efficiency (the closed studio-ness helping along with the headphones closeness to your head already adding some! possibly exciting because electrostatics are not as efficient as dynamic) and relaxed neutrality (more so than the other electrostatics) like the studio-ness of Audio-Technica, in such a way so as to be more forgiving to the possible details of a top transport and details/grain of an amp.Rerurn to Romy the Cat's Site
