        It might match whatever curve it wants. Still going to have different sound on different shaped heads, can't change that. So on the one they measured it with it might have, measure it on another system, it won't. And on your head it's something else. On mine another too. So..

        That said, I liked it. And it looks super cool. Would never ever give that amount of money though

        Orpheus 2 is is too bright with not enough relaxed fine detail. Let's forget about modern senns, they're not worth it and built for a price bracket instead of listening enjoyment.

        There was a rumor flying around a couple of years ago that he was working on something TOTL, but I haven't heard anything about it since. Someone should ask him at one of those CanJam seminars he does.

        Interested in the result knowing that you'll compare against EQ'd 800S. My money is that for you, the 800S will win.

        I don't care about hype, unboxing experience or price tags. May the best sound (to my ears) win! :)

        Nice writeup! I hesitate to comment on the Meze thread because I heard them out of the Dave's HP out, which admittedly isn't the best for planars, but I definitely thought it was better than an LCD-4. The upper bass and lower mids didn't quite connect correctly on the Meze and that the transients weren't as good as the Senns to me. I get the feeling if you gave the 800S some tubes, you may be set.

      Is Rafe the Anti-Tyll? We finally have what looks like a review of the unboxing experience for the new Meze headphones!

        I love how Rafe says he’s going to do listening tests of the HE6 using his portable. $5 he says it sounds great.

        Once you put all the EQs into the EQ window you go to file -> export -> "filters impulse response as wav" Ezpz way to try these out without needing fancy VST wrappers or whatever, plus the foo_convolver plugin is super fast :D

      Sample from Rafe's new piece: 3D multi-plane imaging that never gave the impression of distinct horizontal or vertical vertices. WUT.

        Of the two I much prefer vertical vertices for their mellifluous alliteration and the way they roll off the tongue. I'm only sorry I don't live in a universe with the right number of dimensions to observe them.

      Went back and skimmed through Dave Mahler's famous 'Battle of the Flagships' on HF. He calls the HD800 the king of neutrality. :O

        What he compared these to and his upstream gear taken to account, I wouldn't say he was far off. He's take on neutrality is a bit different than is used around here. I think he refered to consistency in timber as neutrality.
