Nordkapp Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 Mood dependant. I've yet to hear a 2 channel hifi render more recording detail than properly set up headphones. Now of course I am referring to high end stuff, not cheapola kit. You can just hear so much more information through cans. But obviously, there really is no deep, visceral, you are there feeling like a proper stereo in 3 dimensional space with acoustical treatment. So yeah, depends on what I'm in the mood to listen to and how. Getting great sound from hifi means dealing with so many other factors too, mainly room and positioning. Link to comment

Do you work for some 2 channel consortium? We fully understand your position. You've expressed it here ad nauseam. Your position is not universal. Accept it please. And stop trashing others who happen to enjoy them. Link to comment
Nordkapp Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 IDK. Listening to Coppice Halifax's newest remix album, .WAV file. Sony Z1R. Pretty damn impressive sounding..... ? But what do I know, I'm stupid, I like class D amps too. esldude 1 Link to comment

Nordkapp Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 Besides, having hair interferes with soundwave entering the ears, thus creating another level of distortion. Bald guys rejoice!!!! carlosmante 1 Link to comment

The truth is this: for the pure equipment cost, you can get peak world class headphone performance for the price of a mid-fi 2 channel setup. Speakers are more than just high prices — its engineering a listening space. For the amount of money I spent on my speakers, room treatments, pre/pro amps, cabling, etc, I could have got a Utopia with the finest OCC silver cables plugged into best headphone amps and be at endgame. The problem is, I’m addicted to the full-immersion experience of speakers. The unfurled soundstage. The physical dynamics. No matter how good, headphones can’t provide that. This is in fact true.
