Definitely will try the tilt if needed. I have had two top tier Me’s mention to not touch the low end on 4z. Bob is one of them. Albeit for whatever reason I’m not sure.. Did I unknowingly figure out the discrepancy about the no headphone eq vs headphone eq war? In a sense that it appears most...

Thanks for this informative feedback. Do you think the slight 1k bump on the 4z needs a eq dip?

Yes however there’s 2 exceptions to this. Mastering on headphones is becoming more common. *not the exception.. 1. It seems likely that spending a good amount on a good dac/amp/cans and possibly headphone eq for mastering is much better than having subpar monitors in an untreated room. I have...

I got it from an individual with a huge discount so if I don’t like it I’ll have to resell it. Many mastering guys praise it for its low distortion and resolution. Bob katz opinion is most eq suggestions such as auto eq, sonarworks, Dsoniq to be too aggressive for eq’ing (aka more harm than...

I just ordered the lcd-4z with a killer deal from a third party vendor. I was stuck between picking these and the Audeze MM-500. I posted a poll on a Fb group full of mastering engineers, almost all except bob katz voted for the lcd4z over the mm500. I plan on using the 4z for mastering. The...

Hi title should explain all :). Currently I have the smsl m500 v2 Dac. Will this drive the mm-500’s well? Thanks

I completely agree. i just have no choice but to master on headphones atm :(. one day ill get the dream mastering control room. maybe lol

Lol no worries :)

Thnx Robo! i ended up getting the hd 560,s. Translating incredibly well to speakers and cars. What i hear in my cans with Oratory's eq is so similar to what i hear on speakers. btw i am using goodhertz can opener, and occasionally checking club and car in dsoniq realphones. With some reference...

I actually loved the k371. Most beautiful pair of cans i have ever heard. Slightly too euphoric imo for a mastering context. Intriguing. I wonder if other share a similar opinion. *im really liking 560s rn. Doing my first master test on them. so far so good.

fascinating. I second Gary's concern of using IEM over Studio Headphones for mastering.

I’ve seen this IEM term a few times. Could you shed a bit of knowledge on what that is?

Hey guys! surprise here. I ended up getting the Sennheiser hd 560s :0... Im not saying im keeping them, ofcourse i can return them. But with oratory eq its boring. And thats what i need! to my ears i hear ZERO coloration. Its very neutral. Need to spend more time with them however, and do a...

I have not tried those although they do look good. I’m starting to lean more towards aeon closed x because well I don’t need vsx for it’s room emulations. Aeon is about $25 more, but look very good for my Mastering needs

Quite late to the game here im highly considering getting the aeon closed x for audio mastering. I have the Smsl m500 Dac/Amp so im wondering if this dac will suffice for these cans. Thanks :)

The Shure SRH1540 also look good for $500. so far it seems like im between 1. slate vsx, 2. Aeon x, 3. maybe Shure SRH1540

This is my second contender to the slate vsx . Have the vsx been measured here yet? I guess one pro of them is they have eq profiles for different headphone models. Hmm curious what ppl here measure on the vsx.

Great question. I did try oratory’s eq. It sounded very balanced and neutral, but thin and inappropriate. However maybe it’s just my opinion but perhaps the k371 arnt really meant to be equalized. Either way I just returned the k371. Even for the one day I had them they were absolutely...

Funny enough I literally just bought them yesterday to test them out but will probably return them for a few reasons. First off Phenomenal sound, absolutely gorgeous. However for a mix/master context it seems inappropriate. 1. With auto eq correction the k371 sounded worse with all profiles...

Thank you for your long and descriptive response. Sorry for the delayed reply in advance. I brought up the idea of room emulations in software to multiple veteran mastering Enginner’s, including my personal mentor. They came to the same conclusion that all this will do is emulate the potential...
