It is weird but if you watch enough of his videos, your brain adapts and you can tolerate it better!
How many IQ points does that cost though...
It’s about your target curve. Something from Etymotic, even the XR, is way too bass-life for me, my definition of neutrality is different. The KXXS would be more in-line with what I call neutral bass.So people are morons because they love analytical/flat sound than the bassy IEM's with bad treble/mids?
Mine are dressed. Oh wait!I'm beginning to see a pattern here...Zeos has anime cuties while Amir has pink panthers
In this interview from 15:30 Paul talks about Z Reviews and DMS paying a visit to PS Audio office with the goal to either hear the difference between USB cables or prove it's all snake oil:Sadly he says he convinced them cables sound different.
Would be good to hear Z's version of the events. I never heard them comment after the show. Now he says they went and visited him at his company???In this interview from 15:30 Paul talks about Z Reviews and DMS paying a visit to PS Audio office with the goal to either hear the difference between USB cables or prove it's all snake oil:
Why wouldn't he? Their doors are open to anybody to come and listen and they have visitors every day.Anyway, if he lets me in there
That would be epic if you do that. Don't forget to bring your own cables and maybe a cheap good-measuring DAC to compare with PS Audio's gearI can test him with his and other USB cables, I am happy to do so. I am sure I will have the reverse story to tell.

Still Mark was welcomed at PS Audio’s officeHe did refuse the public debate with Mark Waldrep.

Zeos isn't a reviewer, he's an entertainer. I really enjoy his videos but I wouldn't look to him for actual advice on headphones. Reviewing Chewbaca the cat was probably the best thing he did in terms of a real review but I like him as he makes me laugh.
Great cocktail bar thereIv got a lovely suite booked at the Renaissance st. Pancras, anyone want to help me out with it ?

Spoilers:
"They were completely against idea of cables... They showed up unannounced and brought their own USB cable"
"I just let them in the room by themselves and they did everything they could to disprove it"
"But our main system is so revealing, it's so easy to hear"
"They were banging their heads against the wall, but walked away thinking they can't believe it, but it's true (USB cables do make a difference)"

And from 22:10 there is another story about Mark Waldrep's (Real HD-Audio) visit to PS Audio and listening for differences between standard vs hi-res material:
- Surely, Mark, you heard the difference?
- Absolutely.
- Well, so you're changing your stance?
- Nope
That post is from 2005. As far as I know, these days PS Audio does not sell USB cables. The only kind of cables they offer are power cords.This guy probably saw that video and bought a PS Audio I2S cable claiming significant night and day differences while justifying that $xxxx price tag for such improvement
Why wouldn't he? Because of the huge potential for bad PR. That's why. And no, the open-door policy does not mean someone like me can spend money to fly there and expect to be let in and put Paul under blind listening test. He needs to accept the challenge and make an invitation.Why wouldn't he? Their doors are open to anybody to come and listen and they have visitors every day.
