Well... I'm just stating my opinion as to the topic of this thread: why would one spend an extra $400 from an hd600 to an hd650 and if the difference is really worth it (granted the actual difference isn't $400, but I took it to be a generic question of why people spend a lot of money upgrading audio gear).
I don't think I was criticizing. But there's a thin line between stating an opinion and criticizing others, and since this line is mostly subjective (maybe my description fits you too accurately so you feel it was a criticism), I don't see how I can avoid it other than not saying anything to begin with-- in which case, I don't feel I should refrain from stating an opinion in fear of offending someone.

I'm not trying to paint myself as anything, neither was I implying that spending $$$$ setups makes you a music lover-- if anything, it was the opposite. I feel a music lover would enjoy music no matter what equipment it's played on, whether a $10k setup or a $100 one.
The difference between a music lover who spends $10k and one who spends $100 is that the former hears music through headphones, while the latter hears music in his head even without headphones. For the former, music is entertainment. For the latter, music is a state of mind. IMO, of course!

You feel there is no music artist that is worth the $$$$ setups. I find that ironic as you may not be the music lover you like to paint. Some headfiers can subjectively say that they are worth $$$$ for their music. |
