  3. It's blacker, has more buttons, and more channels, and less power per channel.
  4. Holy poo, that is a good price.
  5. I think I may understand the confusion. You think music has a variable sound in the real world, so getting your brain used to your transducers is ok. I think music is supposed to sound on headphones as close as possible to what it sounded like when I recorded it live. So I'm a little more picky. That's not to say I'm a huge fan of senns. I owned a pair of 580s, liked them well enough, and sold them. But even the VTGs, which are among my favorite headphones ever, didn't sound quite right. It was a compromise I could live with for good closed phones, but in the end, I decided to let them move on. There really is a right and a wrong with sound. You may not mind wrong, but that doesn't make it right. You're welcome to that opinion, and in a lot of ways, I agree with it. There are a lot of variables in sound reproduction, and everyone picks the ones they care about. But there's a reason W5000s don't command the respect other ATH woodies do.
  6. I think he' saying anything that takes an hour of adjustment time so that you don't hear the sucked out mids indicates a problem with the headphones. Your brain can get used to anything, but that doesn't make it right.
  7. I'm personally a big fan of invictas. If I was shopping for a $1000ish watch, I'd probably go with one of their swiss auto divers.
  8. Mastering does matter with 16 bit depth tho. But if they just select the best 16 bits, instead of compressing, or overloading, you should have no trouble fitting any recording in that dynamic range.
  9. You can get breitlings and omegas in your price range at costco. Look good, run well, are durable. Modern watches are pretty darn reliable. The sapphire crystals both use are very durable, and are the main thing you get as a benefit when going to high line watches.
  10. Bit depth isn't what's important, and isn't resolution. Bit depth determines dynamics, and 16 bits is 96db. If you can't fit the dynamic range in 96db, you're fucked anyway, because that's from below normal room sound to jumbo jet taking off. As to resolution, 192khz will have more of the harmonics, so could theoretically sound better than 96khz. But it'd be really subtle. REALLY subtle.
  11. grawk would get in trouble if this topic showed up in google [iurl]http://www.head-case.org/index.php?topic=2724.0[/iurl]
  12. Hey, finally you post a real picture
  13. penguins have trouble with precision layouts

  16. And everyone in alabama takes august off to drink.
  17. He's in alabama, it's still august there.
  18. Heh, I have maybe 75 hockey pucks floating through my house
  19. That said, 86.4% of statistics are made up. And most external dacs are better than the dacs used in consumer gear, therefore, given the two issues here, I'd say you're flat out full of shit.
  20. flats suck, use turnips.

    slow forum

    Except the only place the short bus takes you is to school...
  22. If you want something recorded, lemme know. I'll see what i can do to help. I don't own gear anymore, but have lots of friends in the area who still do.
  23. how the digital signal arrives is irrelevant to whether or not it's balanced. Balanced means differential drive, where it outputs + and - for each channel, rather than +/ground.
