Can someone who has heard both compare the RAD-0 and the ZMF Verité open?
I am interested to see what part of Rosson RAD-0 owners EQ the headphone? I personally think that it certainly does benefit from EQ, especially in bringing in more treble and more detail. This might be a personal preference, fed by using the HD800 for a long time, but I think that with boosting the treble region somewhat it does not lose the great timbre and how sweet the sound is, but it does become much more detailed.
As far as I know, there are two EQ profiles from reputable sources out there:
- Crinacle: https://github.com/jaakkopasanen/AutoEq/tree/master/results/crinacle/gras_43ag-7_harman_over-ear_2018/Rosson Audio Design RAD-0
- Oratory1990: https://www.dropbox.com/s/f972x6s5xwyn30p/Rosson Audio RAD-0.pdf?dl=0
I would be curious to know if someone uses any of those two, which you prefer or if you do not at all agree with my statement that the RAD-0 can be improved with EQ.
Hope to hear!
Do you possibly have the parametric EQ band parameter values so I could apply it in Peace? Very interest in the effect.Those EQ profiles can be used as starting points. Every pair of ears and RAD-0 are slightly different so one always have to use a sine sweep to adjust the EQ to one's preference.
Below is the EQ profile I use for my RAD-0. One can say it does not make a big difference except to the sub bass region. My EQ preference is not to make each of my headphones having similar neutral FR but to have each retaining its character.

How do the sr80e compare to this? lol
A new arrival in the house. Let's say I'm just shook at the sound of these.

Absolutely beautiful gold flake style!
I think some songs of the beatles the headphone in particular shines with, such as Come Together and Yesterday. Very intimate and powerful. Also Sara by Fleetwood Mac, the drums just after 1:20 engulf you ears.Any tracks you all have that specifically shine with the RAD you can't get enough of?
For those of you with multiple TOTL headphones, what would say is a good compliment pair of headphones to the Rad-0 sound signature wise? I’m open to open back or closed back, and the headphones that pique my interest are controversial things like the Ether 2, Empyrean and Z1R. I had a pair of ZMF Verite Closed, and though they were lovely and super enjoyable, I found them too close in sound to the Rad-0 and wanted to allocate resources to something more distinct/different from the Rad-0. In terms of DAC/amp synergy, I’ll be keeping the Pendant and Bifrost 2, selling the Mjolnir 2 and picking up a GS-X Mini.
What do you think based on your experiences?
