Why are you so certain that this is calibrated at 425Hz? You’ve obviously not provided any logical explanation for your rebuttals to other members responses to your questions.
it's interesting that both of them are science oriented companies from Southern California that specialize in planar magnetic headphonesAudeze is one of only two companies providing headphones to me for testing. For this alone, they deserve many kudos (as well as waiting some 6 months for me to test this headphone )
Because he knows I calibrate to 425 Hz although in this case, I pulled down the levels a bit lower to make EQ easier.Why are you so certain that this is calibrated at 425Hz? You’ve obviously not provided any logical explanation for your rebuttals to other members responses to your questions.
Distortion percentage nullifies that difference in response since it is all a ratio.Wrong. It is allegedly calibrated at 425Hz and therefore will have bass at -10 to -20 lower than it would be with a Harman-correct headphone.
That would take many years of selling my body.Buy one and drop ship it to amirm
There was meant to be a wink on my podt, sorry. I feel your pain though. But, I reckon with audeze you can probably eq the X to sound very similar to the 3, 4 or 5. Can't be worth the difference surely.That would take many years of selling my body.
Although, distortion measurements are ultimately more useful than compression measurements, as it's distortion that is the detrimental aspect, and it's probably hard to determine that from the compression tests, for instance with the HD560s there was some compression but the distortion was still fine at those very high levels still (except maybe at 114dB below 30Hz):Compression also shows up as distortion in the measurements, so you can infer the former from the latter. (And this means if it's claimed the measurement mic compresses at extreme levels, its distortion measurements at those levels would be inaccurate too.) As Oratory said in his message to you about his measurements of your HD560S:
These are not moving coil headphones. They are magnetic. I don't see how they would be tightI think sometime ago I heard somewhere that their hp are low distortion mainly because of how tight their drivers are, and that it reduces the lifespan of the hp. Not sure if this true though.
Membrane tension perhaps?These are not moving coil headphones. They are magnetic. I don't see how they would be tight
Perhaps. But they have a flat membraneMembrane tension perhaps?
Well, I didn't say "sound the same" nor did I mention the XC. But I would question how much better an EQd 5 is compared to an EQd X to the same target.. One would hope there were some pretty obvious improvements in some areas of the sound to warrant the $$I see it differently.
The LCD5, plays in a completely different league, compared to the XC.
(I adjusted both according to Oratory's EQ Settings).
Because there is nothing to be learned from that: https://audiosciencereview.com/foru...view-closed-back-headphone.31102/post-1098030Im sorry this surely has been asked a thousand times already but i wasnt able to search through all the previous reviews
Why doesnt Amirm measure and plot a diagramm post his EQ settings?
Are Sony, Bose and Apple science oriented companies? I am not sure what that means? Audeze are headphone manufacturers. Sean Olive is doing science, for what it's worth. Science research and application engineering are two different things.it's interesting that both of them are science oriented companies from Southern California that specialize in planar magnetic headphones
i dont think so since resonances can occur if you apply any EQBecause there is nothing to be learned from that: https://audiosciencereview.com/foru...view-closed-back-headphone.31102/post-1098030
The post EQ frequency response will be precisely raw FR + EQ FR.
