So I can re-enforce and over-emphasize piercing treble just by getting a bright-sounding amplifier?
Where do I get in line for that, sign me up

I have listened to a wide variety of songs but have yet to encounter a situation where these phones were shrill. I would love to have some sort og reference point. |

There are others, but those are three notable examples. I can't pump up the volume on those tracks.... too bright. |

All cans have a volume "sweet spot", my HD650s have it pretty loud, with my goldies it's at the same spot on the dial, but with my Micro amp's gain set to "low" instead of "medium". Tyll Hertsens does a good job explaining the whole concept of Grados as low-ish volume cans on his blog, actually. |
