Audio-Omega
Headphoneus Supremus
Hopefully one day soon, somebody will be able to tell whether HD800 is better than Sony R10 or Audio Technica L3000.

So accuracy and neutrality need not mean a lack of excitement and involvement - but the excitement and involvement will come more from the original performance and how it was recorded rather than how you play it back; and that's how it should be. |
