Maybe one day I'll learn to play my big fat piano accordion. Which means I would still not know how to play bass. I likes big smooth basses though.

TP mod. 2-ply Kirkland.



Look pa. I fixed it! See FR below. No peak. I may go to just single-ply, but the 2-ply definitely is very effective.

BTW. EXTREMELY AWESOME DISTORTION MEASUREMENTS. WELCOME TO TRUE HIGH END YOU FUCKERS.

There is a lot of clearance between the dust filter fabric of the earpads, and the driver magnets underdeath. Damping can definitely be fine-tuned.

Edit: that THD is sick.  :o

Shame about the stock 2k dip, but the rest looks nice.  Thanks for the measurements!

Can we get lower noise floor a la 009/HD800 eventually with top down views when you get a chance?  :)p5

Top down CSD / Sonogram

Floors at -40, -45, -50. Take away "ortho wall" artifact and very clean between 5kHz - 10kHz - what I call "resolution alley". You know this fucker is going to resolve well. In all likelihood. Only peers are 009 and HD800.

Looks like even the thinnest membranes can do bass very well.

Very low distortion ...

what's with the lingering below 1kHz .. outside noises ?

Close enough to the "BBC dip" often used in speakers. It's actually a great "EQ" with a lot of naturally mic'd recordings with too much room reverb.

Typical pad and baffle reflections. Only very very open baffle headphones don't have them. Orthos are open-backed, but really not a dipole dispersion since the backwave is isolated from the front wave via seal.

Oh I might add, from a timbre point of view, something like a cross between HE-560 and HE-6. Most of the best parts of both. At least when powered properly. Quite a good sound. Otherwise with weaker amps, we end up with a Maggie planar type of sound. Again, not a bad thing necessarily.

This is absolutely a fantastic headphone. Give HFM your money now!

Does the TP veil things or are we all good there? Measurements indicate lack of high treble which I know is just a measurement artifact. Are you getting good air up top w/ and w/o TP?

Is the stage depth on this guy filled in? As opposed to the one we heard at CanJam which was super-stereo.
