In Spring/Summer I should come into a nice sum of money. The priority is to use my money for a nice home but it will probably have to be out of London, perhaps even in a new country.
I am hoping I can keep the Goldnotes (I just love what these speakers do) and get my system up and running again.
However I am exploring other options if I do not have the space for them.
So I have been exploring High end headphones just to get a feel for what out their. I been putting the same kind of energy as I did with finding the Goldnotes I learnt it is worth investing time and energy into getting this right.
Sennheiser HD820
Lasted about 10 seconds on my head. The treble was far to hot for me.
Audeze LCD-5
Nice open sound, detailed and engaging but something missing that puts me off them. Close but no cigar for me.
Meze Audio Empyrean ELITE
Yet again nice headphones but somehow I am expecting to be wowed at this level and I am not experiencing that/
Yamaha YH-5000SE
Extremely detailed sounds, kind of remind me of TADs but in headphones. Lots of punch. However, they are just so uncomfortable that I cannot wear them for long. At this price range they really need to address that.
Stax SR X 9000
Wow. Open, detailed, dynamic. But bloody expensive when you factor in the enginezier. I did try a couple more Staxs all were good but the 9000 has a bit more magic.
Thank you Audio Sanctuary
