For mainstream I do find Alicia Keys and Beyonce to be quite good. Skylar Grey as well when she gets serious. Adele is already well known. 
 
Was looking for Key's new album but my local BB didn't have any in stock. I thought it would match well with my Z10 :frowning2:

Checking in with T1 (s/n : 11157) with WA2, simply loving it, mainly on classical music with my Mytek 192DAC

 Now, I have a problem, what to do with my LCD3

Okw, isn't your LCD 3 an early one Sankar is going to replace? If so, be wise to break it in first dontcha think? You might like it!

For the record, mine were both 250 and 600 ohm. And slightly better matching doesn't really mean much IMO as the 250 and 600 ohms sounded very similar too. The T1s were head above shoulders better to my ears.

I listened 880/600 Ohm, and T1 side by side. While the 880 sounds closest to T1, including other Tesla models (T5 is harsh like AKG K550 without proper amping, T70p sounds like cheap Sony), its treble is not as extended as T1. Now if you dislike bright headphones, you should stick to Sennheiser HD600/650. The T1 is for those who prefer brighter sound and I don't hear any spikines from my cans. My problem with T1 is that it is very revealing of recording flaws like classical piano tracks. Some of those sound rather awful during quiet sections.

^ Yeah piano is rather difficult to reproduce, and to record too I imagine.

What specific recording flaws do you notice?

This is in reference to piano intro in tracks from iTunes like Debussy "Reverie", Mozart "Piano Sonata No 16" and Laura Fygy's "The Good Life". These are just few examples. My T1 picks up some mild distortion at piano strokes, like a scratchy echo, rustling which disappears as the track gets  louder.  I sampled many versions of piano-centric track like sGoldberg Variations but there is no such distortions. All other recordings: string classical, rock, pop, electronica do not have this issue. Only quiet piano Classical & some Jazz. All this seems to come from my right cups. A lot of classical recording seem to be left channel-centric. Is this true?
 
Or I have a T1 with defective driver.

Thanks. I'll have to check this out. For classical piano I mostly listen with LCD 2, but I'll do some with my T1. Give me a day or two.

Thanks for doing this. I also heard from another forumer that Beyer actually tweaked their drivers starting from serial 4XXX because of some ringing & resonance at 8K frequency (link below). My model has serial number 6XXX but I think what I perceive as distortion is this "ringing" or "resonance" mentioned.

UPDATE: I did play around with my iTunes equalizer and the resonance seems to be lessened fi you turn down 500Hz to 1K Hz completely. I also notice that many classical recordings tend to sound louder from the left channel. My AKG K550 has none of this imbalance when playing the same track. And I heard Beyerdynamic produces a lot of imbalanced drivers in many models. I guess I could be the unlucky one.

Multimeter to see if their is a serious impedance driver mismatching .
