well, ....like i said before, the problem is easier to hear on different models of headphones. if you were to come to my meet on march 1st (sorry for the ad... heh he) i could prove it to you!
it's possible your w1000's are one of the harder headphones. on my ear buds (mdr888), i can't even hear the problem, even if i listen REALLY carefully. but on the k1000's, for some reason, it just pops out at you.
...of course, your hearing could also be damaged.... but not likely. this problem is pretty audible with the 7506's and hd600's.
...instead of trying to specifically listen for static or that sort of noise..... close your eyes, and try to feel the tone of her voice. it just doesn't sound right. like something's distorted.... then you can pinpoint it to some sort of clipping problem... it's like water rippling upon a lake--the lake isn't moving, just the surface is shaking. it's like that.... her voice sounds fine in the middle, but something on the surface is grainy and staticky...
i think some people are more sensitive to these types of problems.... personally, i've been critically listening to music for a long time, trying to mix my own music. you develop a ear for this stuff over time. don't worry if you don't get it.... someday it will hit you. i can hear lots of problems my friends can't hear..... i'd be like, "the balance of this speaker is different from the other"--and my friends would be like, "yeah right...." but i know i'm right.... but like i said, don't sweat it if you don't hear it, right now.
you know, i posted a thread on DJ Sammy's CD months ago too about similar problems..... the girl's voice on his famous song is WAYYYYYY distorted. same thing... thought i broke my k1000's................ scared me for a moment. those k1000's are really handy..... everyone should get one just for critical listening....
hope this helps.
