Bob Katz is deaf.

Katz has strange taste. His innerfidelity review of the Oppo HA2 + PM3 was like WTF levels of adulation

I have and appreciate his text on mastering audio, and many releases he has mastered. His preferences on IF have consistently confused the shit out of me. I think my preferred gears leans way more neutral and resolving. Smh

"To be honest, in an immediate comparison, the PM-3s sound shockingly wimpy. But what would you expect comparing a small $399 phone against a $4000 behemoth?" Just wait until he hears the Edition HE-$6000!!!

@DigMe probably something like "in line with Hifiman house sound, Shangrila is extremely silky velvety smooth and ethereal. Listening to Enya, I was transported to a space where she sings betweed clouds that no live performance can match. Heaven."

"The bass response seems to go down to the center of the earth; deeper and cleaner than any moving coil headphone in my experience, and rivaling my equalized Audeze LCD-X and Stax cans driven by the world's best desktop amps."

Katz on the PM3s circa March 2016. Not to crap on the guy but jeez...

And the LCD-4 is $3600 better.

I had chance to demo LCD-4. It was alright, as the only Audeze I could tolerate. Then it was recabled with $$$ pure Cu. and the sales guy got confised because I spent more time on HD800 than LCD-4. He's an Audeze fan.
