Yup, lots of electronic music. I believe it's the most demanding genre in hifi and definitely the one with the highest potential in music making. We're just starting to scratch the surface of this genre.
thanks mate for your opinion too!
Audeze LCD-4 vs Hifiman HE1000 V2
I live in Italy and it's not easy for me to get a pair of Audeze LCD-4 at a reasonable price.
All the prices are well over 5000 USD.
For Hifiman HE1000 V2 I have some contacts in China and I'm able to get them for only 1700 USD. So it's relatively a bargain.
Now.. my question would be... Say I equalize both of them to the Harman target (with bass frequencies raised a bit above flat), what would be the difference between the two? I guess LCD-4 is probably not worth 3300 USD more than the HE-1000 V2
1) Will the equalized HE-1000 V2 have similar bass impact to the LCD-4's? (and as a plus the Hifiman seems to have a better soundstage)
2) Does anyone know the HE-1000 V2's distortion performance?
1) The LCD-4 should have more bass impact. First it clamps a lot harder so you will have a much tighter seal, second the default earpads (leather) don't leak as much as the much more perforated earpads that Hifiman uses. You could get more bass impact with aftermarket pads with the Hifiman I guess, but some people don't like modding things physically.
2) It's doubtful you can really hear any distortion with drivers this big at headphone listening distance/levels. These planars are like loudspeaker sized drivers.
