Cool. The only other headphone I really want to try is the Sigma. Maybe I can find a normal Sigma soon. You send them to Stax? for modding?

So I wonder of it's a source problem or an amp/headphone problem. Any opinions? |

I hear a conciderable increase of the highs of my O2mk2. For the past few weeks somehow the highs opened and become more shrill and noticeable, some squeaky and ticking sounds protrude above the whole sound "picture". I mean sounds like the sound of a harpsichord or the movement of the fingers over the quitar's neck, or some "parasite" sounds which are found in all acoustic records. Before this transformation the sound of the O2mk2 was smoother and more laid back without anytning annoying and distracting my listening. Now it's more k701-like I've tried different sources and have found that it's not a source issue. It's just the headphones or the amp. I repeat - I don't know if it's a problem or a burn-in effect. But I don't like it. |
