E-mu Teak / Denon ah-d7200

[The Third]

I'm referring to generally the woodies. There is no woodie I found resolution especially impressive, and I would say TH900 is about on par with HD6XX, which isn't bad. I think Ebony is slight less detailed than it, but I still prefer the Ebony over the TH900 due to it's stronger bass presentation and overall better balanced tonal response.

I mainly meant for Teak to suck in resolution, but in general, resolution is not impressive with woodies.

Ebony will not sound thin. It's main strength is when you hear double bass, it expresses it like no other headphone can. It actually sounds like double bass and I attribute it to the wood causing the resonance that gives it realistic timbre for such instrument. So, it expresses that double bass thickness, so it's not thin sounding.

I heavily disagree with the statement that the EMU Teak's lack resolution. For comparison's sake, I have the HE-500 (driven by SMSL SP200 AMP/ Topping E30) and find it lacks the soundstage and the top end sparkle the EMU Teak comes with. Sub-bass is even, mids a slight advantage to the HE-500 and highs the Teak has the advantage. Overal the Teak is definitely more detailed to my ears. The HE-500 is pretty much on par with the HD-600 but with better Sub-bass and planar layering.

Allow me to explain a classical interpretation mistake.
When a headphone has realistic soundstage, it gains the ability to make soundtracks sound as the creator intended, thus some pieces of music might sound more spacious/thin and others more upfront or in your face sounding. It's a classical mistake to link good soundstage to thin sounding music. Because we tend to see and hear things in contrast, A-B'ing a small soundstage headphone to one that has a more spacious sound might make you believe the bigger soundstage headphone is thin sounding. I believe in reality you just prefer the impactful colouring of the upfront headphone to the music of your choice. EMU Teak is not the most upfront woody, but certainly the has the best soundstage of the woodies I tried (Mahogany, Bamboo, Zebra, Walnut, Purpleheart), though it can make soundtracks which have a small soundstage sound quite upfront and is comparable to my HD25 Aluminium on those tracks (which is an upfront sounding small stage headphone with a huge bass body). The EMU Teak doesn't necessarily focus in on texture due to it's smooth tuning from bass to mids. Teak's higher frequency extension is quite unique for a woody and adds a lot of sparkle and speed to the headphone. This top end sparkle scares away people who have been listening to headphones which taper off rapidly after the 10khz frequency. Lastly, due to it's fairly neutral presentation you have to really focus on the sound in order to sense most of the detail. This is also why a lot of listeners end up daily driving a V-shaped headphone as it makes it easier to interpret some details while others are masked.
