Sod it. Went straight for the comparisons.
first impressions....
507 better mids
507 more grip on the music
507 a bit louder?
I'll try and put a sig. driver on the 507.....
oh man them pins just slide out real nice on both sets. The SR507s pins are steel.
My T1 is now feeding the Signatures and the 507s at the same time, and I have a Signature driver on my left and a 507 driver on my right
507 louder! Id have to cut the right ear a little to balance the volume.
Did that and now I have a sort of balance, I say sort of because the differences in the drivers are pretty obvious. Its obvious there is a difference I mean. The 507 has a great mid, beating the Sigs, the sigs sound softer and scoopy.
I was listening to the first record I could find, Gun's 'n' Roses, but now I'll put on my mono White Album so both channels are the same.
Its probably one of the best side threes in pop history until George comes along and spoils it at the end.
Them 507s are definitely louder, and keep sounding louder quite a way through the turn.
Thats all I can be sure of right now, but Im thinking the 507s are a little wider, and Im enjoying its mids a little more than the Sigs
The bass guitar on Helter Skelter is a little more pronounced in the Sigs, its like the sigs just have less mids full stop. And the bass has a bit more of a hole to sit in. Or something.
But like stats the bass guitar is wonderfully defined in both.
Now a ladys voice.....
B52s Roam 12" single
Oh yeeeeeh these 507s are great cans for pop, way more pronounced mids, the voices are way more present. The voices in the verses (the intro vocals are very processed and would sound good on a broken gramophone)
I just had the sigs on for 30 seconds....the poor things are getting beaten right now by the 507s on this song.
Im hearing more hihat, when i really pump it i believe the Sigs cymbals are suffering just a fraction, while the 507s just serve em up lovely and they stay up there. nothing like dynamics, these cans.
The 507s sound much more alive sounding than the Sigs, just copped the saxaphone solo in The Logical Song on the 7s, amazing clarity, I can hear it ripping.
The Sigs are mellower and certainly quieter.
Just a few jumbled thoughts in my first hour.
The 507s are really quite a bit better built, much more forward, better highs, mids, and probably the same bass. Dunno yet.
I like the 507s better but I should hope so, I spend $600 more on them.
