100+ Head-Fier
i know hi-fi people take months to run-in their speakers at really loud volumes, despite owning my hd580 for more than a year now, i haven't really done any formal run-in. i usually listen to classical music, which is rather mellow compared to what most of you listen to.
so i was sitting at home the other night, and suddenly have this thought: how much torture can my hd580 take?
this is also a good chance to run-in my new Clou Blues.
so i took my spare x-cansv2, popped my Kodo Taiko CD into the player. plug hd580 into it, and turn the sucker all the way up!
i swear, i can hear the music loud and clear all the way from my living room to my bedroom. for those who doesn't know, the Kodo is a Japanese drumming group, with gigantic 5 feet diameter drums. very very loud.
i was scared that i will literally burned the hd580 or the x-cans2. but well, what the heck, it looked ok.
i hid the hd580 under a few layers of comforter/pillow/blanket mix, so i can actually get some sleep.
the result? well, after a day or two doing that. i noticed some difference!! literally, the music is now coming out of the hd580 is so much more effortless. the bass response is better, everything sounds much more open!
try this at home, but don't sue me if you blow up your cans, ok?
