Yup I get it.
In my 2 channel system I don’t experience that same kind of listening fatigue because I listen at lower volumes than you. I’m my headphone rig though subtle changes in that near field presentation can make my rig almost unbearable. In the same breath done right, the subtleties of detail and textures in a properly tuned headphone rig are incredible and one of the reasons I enjoy them so much.
In my headphone system the difference In tonal signature between both is surprisingly small. Just a tad bit of warmth/richness or dryness one way or the other. |
chazzzy,
The recording is on the laid back, mellow side, then all of a sudden near the end, the higher pitched flute surprises with its loudness. I didn't hear much HF from the flute, but it is brighter than the preceding instruments, so appears to stick out on this veiled recording. The ear is most sensitive at 3-4 kHz, so we are hearing high energy in this upper midrange/lower HF region. Sibilance is usually at 6 kHz, and is usually heard with consonants of the voice especially since singers often put their lips on the mike. Processing effects exaggerate this.

Hey Viber6 check out electrostats like Martin Logan, plus tube amp for sweet tone of violin! Let me know if you agree. Great for saxophone too which I use to play!

They call it "Vibration Management for Superior Sound" That is what their platforms are designed to do They Good thing is they do not cost 5-10k. I cannot fathom why any of these devices should. just make sure to buy the Audio points (spikes) and the coupling discs . They are sold separately. One set of Audio Points goes on the bottom of the platform and with your Carpet , you doo not need coupling discs for the bottom( only for hardwood and such on the bottom). Then for the topside of each platform you need a set of the Audio Points
(they come in different heights) AND the coupling discs . they go between the spikes and the speaker bottom side , so that you do not scratch the hell out of the bottom of the speakers like dummy me.
