I have bitten my tongue for 2+ years in the name of saving other folks money.
One of my childhood best friends..the best.. was a kid who's father played sax in the New Black Eagles Jazz Band. We went to local gigs (stiky wicket etc..) and ran around ,listened, played around and this is on top of my mom and her epic 70s set-up and vinyl collection and her mom...my grandma playing chello with the Boston Symphony Orchestra. I went to more live events before I was 13 then most go to in a lifetime. Relic is a well respected member on here and me and him were battling with awesome FiiO X5 themes and mine were retro vinyl based themes. I absolutely live and breathe my childhood again whenever i can.
The HD800 and my T1 play music in a precise manner
that is not like being there. It isn't. My time corrected, driver to freq range dedicated car systems are not similar to live shows in clubs or concert halls or stadiums. Headphones are even further away with a single driver dedicated to the whole range.
Whether it was the Boston pops at the halfshell or the Violent femmes in the Orpheum or Pink Floyd at Foxboro or Aerosmith at the Civic center or....the NBEJB at the sticky wicket...the SZ are the closest to
being there I have ever had. There are more resolving sets with great stages and I own them to...... but
being there?
I was
there a lot man.
SZ2k, MA900,EX1000/800...and I'm good. ****...I'm almost
there!
