If this is the case, it's worth every penny. We need to get a unit to Hirsch for an offical evaluation. Perhaps someone can score a loaner (unless I buy one first!) for the next meet.

He gave it a listen with both the Grados and the Senns and said there was no point in even trying the EarMax -- the Dodd beat it in every way. He also said he'd never heard the Grados sound that good. A month or two earlier, the Head Room guys came through town with their amps and some stuff from ASL and I think the 300 SEIs from Cary. Anyway, my friend spent the afternoon there, liked the ASL stuff and loved the Cary. The Dodd didn't beat the Cary, he said, but it may have bettered everything else he heard. |
