Tony Posted February 8, 2009 Report Share Posted February 8, 2009 OK. Good clarification. I didn't think the Omega 2 had bigger soundstage than SR-X Pro. The latter to me seemed very decent compared to SR-003, for example... but I am too used to IEMs to assess about full size headphones soundstage. Maybe one day I'll be ready for an O2 rig.

faust3d Posted February 8, 2009 Report Share Posted February 8, 2009 OK. Good clarification, since I usually hear the Omega 2 has small soundstage. Then the SR-X Pro does worse. SR-X soundstage is horrible when it comes to size, walnut size comes to mind , it is accurate when it comes to positioning but SR-X have no layering what so ever.

Tony Posted February 8, 2009 Report Share Posted February 8, 2009 Hahaha, still better than SR-003, which is decent for a portable headphone listener. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faust3d Posted February 9, 2009 Report Share Posted February 9, 2009 Hahaha, still better than SR-003, which is decent for a portable headphone listener. Don't know about that. My SR-001 had much better soundstage than SR-X Mk2 normal bias. Maybe SR-X Pro is better in this respect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted February 9, 2009 Report Share Posted February 9, 2009 Yes, it was definitely better when I heard both out of a SRM-1 MkII Pro last June/July. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mypasswordis Posted February 9, 2009 Report Share Posted February 9, 2009 Walnut soundstage is what I'm most afraid of. I'm not a complete soundstage addict like Faust, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faust3d Posted February 9, 2009 Report Share Posted February 9, 2009 Walnut soundstage is what I'm most afraid of. I'm not a complete soundstage addict like Faust, though. Well I am addicted, but I still can appreciate good headphone when soundstage is small as long as it's not flat He he he, that came out kinda funny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mypasswordis Posted February 9, 2009 Report Share Posted February 9, 2009 I agree. Although I admit I prefer a slightly smaller soundstage that is more well-defined to a larger soundstage that is diffuse. I need to listen to some Sigmas sometime in my life.

Smeggy Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 Yeah, I saw it, nearly went for the last one that was listed. I don't know how good they are but damn sexy looking! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mypasswordis Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 Totally agree with the first statement. But why sigmas? Or are the 2 statements unrelated Somewhat related. Sigmas have the biggest soundstage of any headphone short of the K1000 (I assume), so I want to see if I like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elephas Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 The treble on the 4070 is very good and certainly on par with the SR-X Pro. The 4070 is a closed headphone so you loose a bit of sparkle due to that but they are never harsh. Ruthlessly revealing, yes, but never harsh. The Jade reminded me of the 4070. Clear-sounding and neutral. A bit cold and lacking some refinement compared to the O2. Didn't the Jade remind you of the 4070? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spritzer Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 Didn't the Jade remind you of the 4070? No, not really. Sure both are forward but the 4070 is far more reserved and without all the sonic artifacts that the Jade has. The bass on the 4070 lacks bloom but it very detailed and tuneful which can't be said about the Jade. The upper midrange is more open on the Jade but that's just due to the closed nature of the 4070.

padam Posted February 11, 2009 Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 I decided not to give up on the SR-X and with a tweak similar to Asr's Qualia mod (putting something between the headband and the top of my head) and by replacing the old pads I think I might get fair comfort. No, I won't post pictures about it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mypasswordis Posted February 12, 2009 Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 Hey guys, big news! I just found out the KSC75 sounds the same as Stax, at a fraction of a fraction of the price! What's with troy, the troll? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's with troy, the troll? Wud, I thought it sounded more like the Senn HD600. In any case you should mod it for best effects. I saw the auction a couple of days ago, but forgot about it. Thanks for reminding me, I put a bid just for kicks. How much was it? I can't find the auction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
