I need some help from qualified posters (as I define below).
I think the Sony SA5000 is perhaps the best headphone you can get (possibly excluding the Sony Qualia 010 and UE 10 pro) in terms of reproducing natural and realistic sound.
I think many complaints of the SA5000 from others have to do with problems in their signal path (components, cables, etc.) that they are unaware of.
Will I be as happy with the AKG K701, I ordered over 6 weeks ago, when they arrive, as I am with the SA5000?
I listen mainly to classical which places many hard demands on the signal path (components, cables, etc.) as far as natural and realistic reproduction.
I am asking those who have listened to both the SA5000 and the AKG K701, for at least a week of intensive listening with the same components and cables, to reply in this thread. The weak bass of the AKG 701 is not that important to me - natural timbre of voice and instrument is important.
Please do not post here unless you are such a person. If your experience with either of these headphones is limited to less than a week with each ( as in auditions at meets), please do not reply.
