Like this?  Scary!!  What kind of conclusions?

but I'm worried one day people will return to measuring heads and drawing conclusions from them - be forewarned. ;-)

Like Phrenology?

And welcome!

thanks, and yes I did refer to phrenology. but don't get me wrong about metrics of all kinds - love them, live by them. it's just that I often feel we should stop making what is measurable important, and start making what is important measurable ;-)

Audeze has given a hint that they are moving into the Phrenology department of audio.....

BEWARE.....beware!!!

Hey my name is, huh, Serge Alex, and I'm here to stir up trouble! like every good pirate

And I'm a proud owner of a Koda^2 MKII !

Basically I came here because I love Purrin's graphs and plots, especially the CSD waterfall style. They learned me I had at least one very bad headphone (I already named it) and one very good headphone.

Actually I would prefer calling those two, weak and strong performers, respectively. I don't think objective measurements using 90 dB pure tones and square waves correlates too well with music playback at normal listening volumes; in that regard I'm more of a subjective-head. Although, when you crank up the volume, I think that those plotted flaws becomes a reality --I'm a bit objectivist too--, so that's why I prefer talking about a good or a bad performer, rather than a good or a bad sounding headphone. Oh and I listen only to Grados, lol, my "very good headphone" is a HP-1000i.

In a perfect world every one should be able to measure the performance of their headphones and mods. I hope Purrin will continue making his CSD and FR graphs for many more headphones , and I thank him for his awesome work.

I saw some funny looking curves and colorful waterfalls, so I decided to join. Me too like drawings, especially in color.
