Hahaha running it through a programme soon! Will release the results then . =D

Thanks for the feedback! Haha... Care to share why it's odd? Sadly it's what I could think of as I was doing the survey. Haha =X   The results are still pending; though I've already given the tentative results in a previous post! =D

Hey thanks everyone!   It's great to see that there are so many music lovers out there! And interestingly the age range for the survey the most was 22-30... And interestingly enough Classical and Modern Jazz were the two most selected genres. Most people prefer Melody, then Harmony, then...

Thanks guys! As it is MELODY seems to be the most important factor... =) And almost everyone surveyed is a music lover! =)   Definitely some interesting results too... But will share more when more results are in. =D

Hey everybody,   I'm doing a short simple survey on Music Appreciation and would appreciate it if everyone could help to fill it up. It's just 10 simple and straightforward question but it'll really help give perspective to interests in music.   Thanks! The survey is here...

The function of guitar amps are mainly to colour the sound in a guitar way. Most electric guitar amps sound super mids heavy to give a growl to the sound and therefore do not function great as a head-fi amplifier. But if you like the sound, it can function as such, but it was not meant for high...

I would agree that expectations and a whole bunch of other things such as image come into the picture when a usual audiophile comes to buy items. Rather than using one's ears usually people use preconceived notions and ego to listen to the music. However I would like to disagree with some of...

Because studio amps are too "analytical" and "clean" for most.   Very often hi fi amps have a lot of added effects to the music and add something often termed as "musicality" which is enjoyed by audiophiles. The matter is that people are not really interested in having a sound which is...

Quote: It's my favourite post out of the whole of the Head-Fi...   Quote: Yeah and ironic that the original music would have so much clipping. Not a nice sound in my opinion. Haha

Would just like to join in with my opinions...   I like the people here on this thread. I hear a lot of clipping in the first recording right away. There's a lot of distortion for Kelly Clarkson's voice during the first track. The effects are there but more obvious in the first track. But...

Because I can't reach in and touch around without screwing the volume. Plus even the software has gain

Rockbox's latest firmware updates include Line Out volume control. I have no idea why. I was trying to remove that option but can't.

Wouldn't it depend on which sound signature you prefer? W3 is a warmer, more "lush" sound, whereas UM3X is more of a forward mids, less bass presentation. If you're going for a bit more on details UM3X is the one for you. If you prefer lush sounds W3 would be good for you I believe.

I think there's this funny thing about neutrality that people tend not to understand... Or correct me if I'm wrong. Volume of a frequency has nothing to do with neutrality. If there was such a thing then digital EQs would rule over the effects of earphone sound signatures. Neutrality is...
