As one final attempt before I drive somewhere far to test headphones out for myself, I'd like to get at least get an idea of what I should be looking for when I go.
A few words about my current headphone tastes and jazz:
I find the MS-1's overly bright for jazz. they may be considered "neutral" on these forums, but man, most of the instruments sound totally fake.
In hearing the super.fi's I have also found that they are too dark for my tastes and seem to affect the tibre of every instrument in the exact opposite way of the ms-1's.
What are some possible suggestions in the up to 400 dollar range for good jazz headphones based on my ideas on these two?
Also, are there any Head-fiers who live in Charlottesville, VA, that possibly have a headphone collection that they'd let a head-fier sample?
