    beyerdynamic DT 1990 Pro Headphone Review

    Partly, yes, but SPL from long ago rather than at the time of using the headphones. I'll warn anyone who'll listen that hearing protection at gigs is a must. I think there must be more to it than that though, since at any given SPL the ringing is worst with these, vs a fair bit with noise...

    beyerdynamic DT 1990 Pro Headphone Review

    Ah ok, by listening. As indicated before I can't really hear that high anyway, all it gives me pain and ringing :(. But I have used the same technique before for lower frequency eq. Good advice for LunaRay though, and in general.

    beyerdynamic DT 1990 Pro Headphone Review

    Yeah, it's worth mentioning the specific eq config. I've used these: https://github.com/jaakkopasanen/AutoEq/tree/master/results/oratory1990/over-ear/Beyerdynamic%20DT%201990%20(balanced%20earpads)...

    beyerdynamic DT 1990 Pro Headphone Review

    I've used them with eq for a few years, which does cut the highs right down, but still there's that ringing afterwards. I guess there are some peaks that still cut through. I've recently slapped a -10.5dB high shelf on at 10kHz to kill it off. Can barely hear anything up there anyway so I'd...

    Dan Clark NOIRE X Headphone Review

    Good to know. I'm looking to get closed backs to block out the thud of key presses while playing keyboards. I've tried the E3 and love it, but I found it hard to justify the price. With even better comfort and noise isolation it looks like this is my new top choice!

    Yaqin MC-84L Tube Stereo Amplifier Review

    I got curious and tried playing some music through my usual tube amp sim a while back. Fairly similar harmonic distortion to this (although with controls to adjust), and it adds some of whatever's going on below the test tone frequency too. The sound was... interesting. Lightly distorted guitar...

    beyerdynamic DT 1990 Pro Headphone Review

    I got mine in about 2017 when I wanted some very accurate headphones for my keyboard and a little mixing. Always came away from practicing or listening with my ears hurting. Then one day I discovered oratory1990's measurements and EQ settings, which I put into an EQ plugin in my DAW and...

    Sennheiser HDV-820 USB DAC & Headphone Amp Review

    Sorry yes you're right. I was probably thinking of the low sensitivity and assuming high impedance.

    Wharfedale Denton 80th Anniversary Speaker Review

    In some UK shops, the M16 is currently on sale at £599, which is only £250 more than these 80th Anniversary Dentons. It's still a leap, just a lot less than $900.

    Sennheiser HDV-820 USB DAC & Headphone Amp Review

    Yes, it does worse with them according to the measurements here. But the Expanse is high impedance and this was not great for that either.

    Sennheiser HDV-820 USB DAC & Headphone Amp Review

    Oh dear. I demoed the DCA Expanse and this was the HPA in the demo setup. I was so underwhelmed I knew something was amiss with this rather than the Expanse so thought I'd look it up and sure enough... I wish it wasn't profitable to create such garbage.

    New Neumann MA 1 - Automatic Monitor Alignment

    Hi, sorry if this is mentioned somewhere in the last 60 pages but is the alignment supposed to adjust each speaker with the same EQ or does it tune per speaker to correct for reflections only one side of the room? I ask because I've been trying out KH 150s and they're louder on my right side...

    RSL C34E MKII In-Ceiling Speaker Review

    Yeah, KEF's coaxial approach seems to be the way to go, especially if you want it to sound the same at all angles, e.g. off-centre of your HT or just other rooms where you want some music through the ceiling. Amir reviewed the ci200rr-thx and it's the best ceiling speaker I've seen so far. But...

    PrimaLuna Dialogue Seven Tube Amp Review

    Cool. But it's so expensive, no control knobs and... RCA input?? Where am I supposed to plug in my electric guitar?

    Neumann KH120 II Monitor Review

    Is that definitely a resonance at 334Hz? It doesn't correspond to the resonances visible in the decay graph or driver components graph, and the absolute level of distortion doesn't grow at that point with SPL, except at 96 dBSPL where it's dwarfed by broader distortion that is actually higher on...

    Neumann KH120 II Monitor Review

    I think without attention to placement and room treatment that's going to be far from 'perfect'. Certainly some sweet kit though.

    Cocktail Audio X45 Streamer/Ripper/DAC Review

    I actually meant multichannel analog out, but thanks for pointing out it only has stereo ADAT - something not so clear in the spec. Also no mic pre... I suppose you may want an external phono stage then - still in budget. I'm certainly happy with putting together and using a setup with a PC and...
