I know from what I've got at home that good and bad stuff doesn't mix well. That's probably why the Etys didn't work for you either. |
Jopi,
My ETYs to
MY ears only sound good through
portable equipment, where on my home setup, the extra impact of full sized 'phones wins me over... Thats not saying that the ETYs are bad, its just saying that I know their place...
My EJ1000 and E905, whilst not being of stellar [sonic] quality (I must admit I can easily tell the difference between them, and my kitted out setup) DO stand up with a certain degree of certainty with an amplifier... so to say that Lou's MD is trash... could be a little harsh?
I personally love my main setup (as listed below) but there are undoubtedly people who, even after hearing it would think its total trash... so be it.
This isn't a flame, because I do see where you're coming from... but, some people just don't see the need, or the want for multi hundred dollar systems... - Its all about justification, and if the supreme doesn't give Lou the wow factor, whereas the CHA does... then, isn't it Lou's right to comment to that effect???
Personally, I think i'm as contrary as they come... citing that I thought the V6 sounded better than the HD580s, that I prefer the CD1700s over anything else in my collection... that for a while, I thought my MX500s and D777 were the best thing since sliced bread... what has to be remembered, this whole hobby is part of a learning curve... if you went from a pair of Sony Q-Ears with a cassette walkman straight to a pair of MDR-R10s with a Wadia CD Player, and a killer amp... yes, you'd have great sound - but, you'd miss out on the fun... wouldn't you?
