For those of us with multiple headphones, which ones are you listening with now?

You're welcome. Try this album when you get a chance. It shows how capable these HP's are at resolving every macro detail in it's own space. Simply amazing 👏

Currently hitting the Black Sabbath early albums, hard.

Playing these way too loud. Volume firmly on 11.

11 O'clock or 11 on a scale from 1 to 10? 🙄😉 Are you still driving them with the Rotel?

"temporarily" moved the Rotel into the bedroom, as this is where I do my serious listening.

Partner is thrilled, obviously.

My new old K340's sound pretty much like the green driver model I already own. I don't think I would be able to tell them apart from doing a blind test. There's just something about them that keeps me coming back for more. ☺️

Grado GS-1000e. Can't decide between it and 20yr old Denon AH-D5000 which I prefer. They both play music, unlike some recent uber-hi-end headphones I've been trying recently which sounded ghastly by comparison to either.

(a) RS-1x is the headphone for this LP;
(b) This, for me, is their best LP;
(c) The only superior version is the original [1969] vinyl pressing with the turquoise lettering on the LP cover. With a Supex SD-900e moving-coil cartridge … 🤪😝.5C54CBE8-9D87-4D74-AE4D-55A8C63D1939.jpeg
It's great but I'm a Led Zep II guy - OG Atlantic UK pressing

We could debate the merits of each album until the levee breaks … 🤔🤣🤣🤣

boston.jpg


Boston (1976) by Boston - I have fond memories of catching the Boston hype train in 1976 along with millions of others, I had never heard a guitar sound so good and Brad Delp's voice was just off the charts. I don't think I could ever grow tired of listening to this album, any album starting with More than A Feeling is almost guaranteed to be good and then there's the amazing Foreplay / Long Time, which is almost as brilliant. I picked out the SR325x and had a think about what would sound really good through them and Boston is what I picked, they sound nigh on perfect together. :darthsmile:
