Guns N Roses Appetite For Destruction Remastered High Resolution

[Musicophile]

A pretty irrelevant side note:

 

I checked this album out on Qobuz using my Sennheiser HD800, as I used to really like this when I was younger (these days barely any rock gets played on my system). 

 

I finally understand why some people don’t like the HD800.

 

They are totally useless for rock. On my main system and on my secondary HP system with the Beyer T90 everything was fine. But the Sennheisers, as much as I love them for Jazz and Classical, really no point in ever playing any rock music through them again. 

 

Parenthesis closed.

Sounds great on my old Grado RS-1

Sure, Grados are great for rock!

Haha, hello Musicophile. I've been absent for quite some time on the forum, or rather passive, because all my time was consumed by playing vinyl records recently ? What you don't like in HD800 for rock? I have T90, which I like them a lot, even for classical and jazz.

 

Anyway, is the same remaster available on Qobuz as well? What I see in the DR database, the original version still got more dynamic range that this one, but of course DR range is not everything, so I need to check it out.

Welcome back!

 

On the HD800 Rock question: well, all the things that work well for classical and Jazz, the extreme analytical clarity and transparency, really aren’t what I look for in rock music. It just lacks not even bass, but more of a dirty/physical feel, which the Beyers deliver much better than the Senns.
