metalfan247 Posted September 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2014 So far, this is what I've found, but the quest has only begun since I now need to look for an equally good headphone amplifier. http://www.head-fi.org/t/634201/battle-of-the-flagships-58-headphones-compared-update-audeze-lcd-2-revision-2-6-4-13#user_EPILOGUE http://www.head-fi.org/t/715478/headphones-for-metal-music-ultimate-solution http://www.themasterswitch.com/best-headphone-amps-2014 (Grace m903 reference amp) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not discuss it there? The Grace m903 is an excellent choice, by the way. And unholy carp, that chart! There's no way we would ever attempt anything like that, I don't think we have enough data points, much less active members willing to participate.

Sherwood Posted September 8, 2014 Report Share Posted September 8, 2014 Been awhile since I last saw Mahler's big flagship review. Seems pretty on-point as far as my listening preferences go. I also like that he owns all these simultaneously, and that he has proper amps (more or less). OP, just read through that chart, and choose the best one you can afford. Problem solved.

Yeah, his review is damn impressive and pretty spot on. Spamming this link and your "choose the best one you can afford" advice seems like a good default HC response to these types of inane posts.

DefQon Posted September 9, 2014 Report Share Posted September 9, 2014 Holy hell, that write up from DavidMahler must have taken forever to write. Unbelievable.

metalfan247 Posted September 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2014 Coming here to ask a question, then answering it yourself by posting links to another headphone forum is a shitty start. Just fyi. Most of the posts in my thread here haven't exactly been serious posts that are in any way informative. More trolling than anything. Therefore relying on that as an answer is completely useless and so I decided to keep looking at the same time. Notice I didn't answer my own questions yet, I've merely narrowed down the search somewhat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
