Interesting review, I am looking at getting a Sugden within the next month or so. And maybe an R10, too.
I guess it could be your headphones (the R10s) -- try it with your others. |
Originally posted by Flumpus Interesting... so the HD600s need crossfeed to sound their best, but once you use the crossfeed, you gotta add a brightness filter? And what's the difference between doing this and applying an EQ to make up for your headphone's/amp's flaws? Ya, ok... Am I the only one that finds this strange? He has headphones that are widely considered to be the best dynamic headphones ever made, and he's auditioned countless others, with tons of different amps, and he's supposed to try something that's not as good? Maybe for the sake of the review, for what normal people listen on (sorry Vert, you're not normal), but maybe his R10s are telling us what the crossfeed really sounds like? Maybe its not the headphone's fault (probably isn't), but the crossfeed, and the HD600s just don't allow you to hear everything the way it should be heard. Just my opinion of course, I suspect all the HD600/Headroom fanboys will come to their equipment's defense |

I think it's you who sees it as a little more Westside Story than it is. |
Originally posted by Flumpus Well, if the Sugden is that much better than the MOH, then its probably better than the Max |
Yeah, who said that that's not what's happening? Maybe it's saying what the crossfeed sounds like through the R10s. |
This is all assuming it is better than the Max of course, haven't heard the sugden yet so I'm just commenting on the stuff in this thread |
Originally posted by Flumpus Jude, you can sit there and say that I'm just trying to add a little drama to my life all you want, but you didn't respond to my main points. First, what's the difference between EQ'ing a headphone to make up for its flaws and doing the Crossfeed/"Brightness Filter" (a fancy word for EQ)? All you're doing IMO, based on Vert's and countless other VERY positive reviews of the R10, is making up for its flaws. No, I'm saying the R10s are telling us what Headroom's crossfeed sounds like, period. The R10s are allowing the listener to hear more than the HD600s are. That's why it works so great on the HD600s, they're not truly transparent. And ya, I'm waiting for the fanboys that claim HD600s and Headroom amps are better than anything. There are people like that here. There are people that refuse to accept that anything is better. I never said you were one, I just quoted you to make a point that its ridiculous (other than for the sake of benefitting a normal listener, who only had HD600s) to listen to the crossfeed with a less transparent headphone, when you have the best dynamic headphone available at your disposal. |
