I spoke with her on the phone yesterday. She could not tell me which brand was better. She only said: "it’s up to your own personal taste in music and sonic signature." And I think she’s right about that.
Thanks for the heads up! I think perhaps I could message you or others here regarding my listening impressions once I try the gear out. It has been a long time since I had seperates components for audio. I’m really excited to see how far high-end audio has progressed since the vintage days!
Thank you for confirming! Plenty of great information there. I will certainly take your advice to heart. My ideal sound would be slightly warm in the midrange and treble....just enough to make sharp sounds a bit softer. And peaky vocals a bit more tame. I guess you could say I’m aiming for a smooth overall presentation with my music.
I’ve got a pair of KEF M500 headphones. Maybe not the best, but aside from speakers I would also like to collect some nice headphones. I’ve been doing quit e a bit of research on sites like HeadFi and watching some YouTube headphone reviews.
