I think Kitekis point is that while measurements can be useful as tools, one shouldn't put a complete trust in them; I think Kiteki means that there are intangibles to take into consideration as well. Stuff like imaging and such, are probably a little harder to read out of a FR chart.

 
Pretty much.

back to T90

Hi,
 
Hey everyone, I have great news. Peter Carini and Beyerdynamic SA has agreed to send me a review sample of the T90 once production has begun, which is slated for August.
 
I'll keep you all posted, ok?

 

[Mad Lust Envy]

Sweet. Do you still have any of the DT990s?

 

[Zombie_X]

Unfortunately I don't have a DT990 to compare to. Think I can snag one from you when the time comes?
 
Oh and here's a promotional wallpaper I designed using images that beyerdynamic provided me. Took a about an hour to make it in Photoshop.

Lol, I no longer own one. I'd have been happy to send it to you.

After the D7000, the DT990 wasn't getting much use, so I replaced it with the Q701, since I wanted something to compliment the D7000, not battle with it for the same genres.

That looks really nice.
 
Can you make others, like on a backdrop with waterfalls and tropical birds, saying "T90 - Finally you can see and feel the music" ?
 

 

[Zombie_X]

I can try to make one like that but my photoshop skills are not that good.

Production has started weeks ago. In Germany it is being sold since the beginning of June and several guys in the German HIFI-Forum are proud owners.

Not according to beyer. They told me production would be finished in August. I'll hit them up and see.

just wanted to share my impressions of the T90 - compared to HD600, t5p, t70, t70p, dt1350, dt880 250ohm
 
yesterday i visited a hifi shop in berlin / germany
 
the salesman said that the t90 was running in for 2 days.  gear:  mf m1 hpa (ss amp) + consonance cd player
 
the t90 had the same issues as all other tesla series - bright, empty body, unmusical, awful tonality - maybe a tubeamp would help
 
the t5p had the best definiton, transients, separation and a really nice kickdrum and overall tonality of the beyers
the t70p was really bright and lacking in the bass
the t70 bright but a nice midbass
the t90 almost had the speed/resolution of the t5p but lacked in definition, imaging, bright tonality and the bass weakest of all beyers. (maybe more burn in?)
the dt1350 was fast but lacked in prat and couldnt reach the performance of the larger beyers - would easily prefer my slower M50.
the dt880 was slower, had less resolution but had the best body and prat of the beyers with good tonality (actually all the tesla cans lacked in coherence, timing and body - no prat at all with those amps)
 
my stock hd600 was slower than the tesla beyers but it had the best prat of all (only with the m1 hpa. the lehmann rhinelander and mf v-can couldnt deliver the pace and timing of the m1 hpa) + great tonality, coherence and warmth / body. it easily was the most enjoyable of all.
 
sorry all beyrer fans but the t90 had really low bass level and an uncomfortable peak in the highs with the usual tesla tonality.

 

[Mad Lust Envy]

Bah. Doesn't sound like its anything close to worthwhile.

 

[dragoonv]

thats sad to hear

 

[dragoonv]

that being sad, i like my DT1350 tho....hmmmm

 

[kiteki]

Thanks for the amazing review vonjuergen.
 
So the T90 has the speed, resolution, depth, presence and realism of the T5p?  omggggg it's going to sell like hot cakes now.
 
No bass well equalizer+XB1000 = fixed

speed & resolution of the T5p ? ALMOST
 
presence & realism of the T5p ? no, not at all - even the dt880 was better in presence and realism than the t90 (IMO a body/warmth/image density thing)
