| 1K range phones that will work well with Schiit Jotunheim? @russ69:One speaker is partially blocked by a couch. Also, furniture placement precludes me from pulling speakers as far out from the wall as would be optimal. There's nothing I can do about this situation. In our next abode, I'll have a dedicated... | |
| 1K range phones that will work well with Schiit Jotunheim? @tooblue:OK, but I still don't know what you meant by "too much", regarding their presentation.If not "too analytical", then "too much", what, exactly???? | |
| 1K range phones that will work well with Schiit Jotunheim? @russ69:You mean because audiophiles can always justify buying something new... or ... ?????? | |
| 1K range phones that will work well with Schiit Jotunheim? @freediver:Looking back, you did.I just somehow missed that! | |
| 1K range phones that will work well with Schiit Jotunheim? @tooblue:Do you mean too analytical? | |
| Fidelity vs. Musicality...........Is there a tug of War? @millercarbon:Are you suggesting this for mods... or ???????? | |
| 1K range phones that will work well with Schiit Jotunheim? @tooblue:I'm sorry, but I don't know what you mean by "presentation wise". Do you mean physical appearance? | |
| 1K range phones that will work well with Schiit Jotunheim? @freediver: Thanks for your comments.RE: Focals, Chord is not a brand I'd ever use in a main system or with headphones, so that pairing wouldn't figure into my decision. I have a Jotunheim, which is why I worded my original post as I did. The HE6... | |
| 1K range phones that will work well with Schiit Jotunheim? @freediver:Thanks for your response. I've never heard of iBasso. The Sundaras are indeed widely praised but reviews have said they are bass-shy. That is the only thing that's kept me from buying them. I'm curious-- what didn't you like about the C... | |
| Fidelity vs. Musicality...........Is there a tug of War? @mijostyn:Thank you for your response. What you assert is certainly consistent with my experience. I started out with a really (in my room) edgy combo-- B&W's with Rotel and Creek components. After that my knee-jerk response was to go too far ... | |
| What 3 recordings from different genres do you and your wife/partner appreciate equally? And a great idea for a thread on your part, dayglow! Interesting what you suggest about most audiophiles' taste not being consistent with that of their wives. . . I will say that although our musical tastes are very similar, mine does not share m... | |
| Fidelity vs. Musicality...........Is there a tug of War? "It "moves" you or it doesn't ".+1This is what I go by but clearly it's not the credo for many posting here. I can't help but suspect it makes a difference if you actually play an instrument. | |
| What 3 recordings from different genres do you and your wife/partner appreciate equally? Actually, we have pretty similar tastes. Being a guitar player, I do tend to enjoy Rock and electric Blues somewhat more than she does. I never play Led Zep when she's at home! Picking just three titles for each genre is kind of ridiculous but he... | |
| Fidelity vs. Musicality...........Is there a tug of War? @kijanki: "One might prefer to look at the paintings thru yellow glasses. There is nothing wrong with it, but he doesn't see what artist painted". Yes... BUT we are not robots with identical identical sound perception software installed! We ... | |
| Bad recordings and high end audio @daydream816:There are those who will only play music that sounds optimal on their systems. Perhaps those salespeople you encountered were of this persuasion-- preferring to let the tail wag the dog?I say, if you can't play the music you like and ... |
