Getting used to the sound of electrostats is not like getting used to the sound of a bright or dark headphone. You just have to get used to the extremely fast presentation, which is a very good thing to get used to. It's less fatiguing in addition to all the benefits of a faster driver.

Would you expand on these two quotes? Are you finding the O2 MK1 both warm and bright at the same time, or are the differences indicated above due to other factors such as variations in recording quality etc?
FWIW I have seen a few comments, that seem to point to the Anedio having a thin sound, depending on system compatibility.
Actually, I was finding the midrange to be a bit recessed, but I noticed that the upper mids and treble were just a bit emphasized. I'm not sure if it is due to the Anedio or not, but most of my headphones are EQed with the treble and upper mids down.
Don't be too concerned about the overall difference in db for the EQ. It changes depending on how sensitive to treble I am at that point in time.

Wind016,
Could you describe for me how you apply your PSP Neon in your setup.
I generally use iTunes and would have no way that I know of to filter the music through a 3rd party EQ.
Sorry if it's a bit OT.
Cheers!
No worries. This thread is open to anything and it's going slow anyways.
I use foobar and I've just started changing everything to foobar. It's worth it because you can still use iTunes.
This is what I do and I try to do things as organized as possible so things are neat.
1) Download foobar and I manage the foobar library by linking it to the iTunes music folder. That way I still use iTunes to make changes to songs and will affect both libraries. I also manage FLAC files with foobar since iTunes is not compatible with FLAC. Also, I have Winamp to convert FLAC files into WAV files so iTunes can play them. Then I use iTunes to convert the WAV files into MP3s or whatever.
2) I use George Yohng's VST wrapper DSP with foobar. It's the most stable DSP that I could find that allows me to use VST plugins.
3) I download VST EQ plugins and run them through the VST wrapper. FYI, foobar can only run 32-bit VSTs since it's a 32 bit program.
I hope this makes things easier to make the change from iTunes. So I have iTunes to make changes to my music files' tags, add music, and transfer music to iPhone. I use foobar for listening to music. I use Winamp to convert FLAC.
