Haven't compared the HP50 on a live music or instrument. But if you're gonna compare, it would be a fruitless endeavor because there's no way to tell if it's the recording that tweaked the sound of your grand piano or the HP50 or HD-800. I mean, the recording could have made the sound of the piano rolled off on the treble, and the HD-800 is just compensating for it. On the HP50 it would sound rolled off, but actually it is just reproducing the actual recording accurately.
Oh ok. I will make sure to let my sound engineering friends know. I guess we can throw all the gear measurements out the window and all those years of experience be damned... When you say stuff like this it is about a tenth of a step away from trolling and it certainly isn't a nice discussion. Of course, it is possible that we didn't do anything to check to see if the recording quality is the weak link in the chain, professionals never think of that. And all that high end reproduction gear somehow magically put back what was lost through the poor recording quality. Interesting theory... not.
