I've been to quite a few symphonic concerts in recent years. Orchestras do sound different, halls do sound different, and it of course matters where you are seated. But across these variables I feel I've got a good model for what a symphony orchestra sounds like. So I do have a baseline based on real life - and it includes not just stereo, but surround-sound! I consider a headphone to be neutral if it provides a realistic impression of listening to a symphony orchestra (across a range of recordings, since the way something is recorded of course also matters). That is, I do not have to concentrate to getting into the illusion, but am pretty immediately drawn in and think about the musical piece being performed, the performers and the space it was recorded in. For me this seems to align pretty well with adherence to a Harman-ish frequency response. With most larger deviations the illusion becomes difficult to achieve or impossible.

I dream of these having time codes. I don't even mind going through all of it as I can't get enough, in fact. It's just so much that I don't have time and can't keep up at all.

One day we'll have these more well produced. At the moment we rely on the community for that. But I have some ideas on how we can make it easier to navigate

[@rem792]

In Flames are not good now but their first few albums are legendary and a must for anyone who gets started in melodeath, especially The Jester Race, Colony, Whoracle. I don't listen to anything else after Clayman.

Where are the Davinci impressions in this 3.75hr stream?

[@rem792]

That's a good question 😆

The Grell was the worst headphone I heard 2 Canjams in a row so if they manage to turn that around it will be the redemption story of the year.
