progressive anyone interested in a short sample? xeonster dun mind rip a sample track for us.. here you go.. sample on progressive.. its not very commonly a genre that is well received..most of the younger ones like me tend to listen more to ahbeng techno or newage sample

these are generally the tracks i use whenever i audition earphones/headphones/speakers/hifi setups... Mids/vocals Amanda McBroom - Crimes of the heart, Ghost in this house, Baby (beatbox) Alison Kraus & Union Station -> variety of tracks, silky voice, picked acoustic guitar melodies, mandolin + double bass Carole King - variety of tracks Pure Digital music Don dorsey - rage over a lost penny, moonlight sonata 3rd movement (pure synthesizer music, digitally produced pure sound, no microphone usage) Electronic music + vocal Pole folder - abrasions (clean low pulsating bass notes, good test for positioning of speakers) pole folder - fall in violet (clean vocals with blend of heavy background electronic beats/bass, often easily muddied if speakers dont represent them well) piano dynamics opus 4.1 - track 4, steinway D piano, played heavily, helps to keep un-desired piano-clanginess in check timbre & stage opus 4.1 - track 1, wind ensemble in a church, airy and space filling hugo records - great gate at kiev (nearly killed a pair of speakers with the dynamics of this song.. tweeter started buzzing :/) hugo records - broken zither string (this guy was playing a zither during recording, halfway, string snapped, and the string's wooden bridge dropped) Percussion Sheffield labs - Percussion test disc, track 2 -> electric bass + percussion, to determine distinction when bass guitar plays at a pitch very close to percussion bass drum track 5,6, pure percussion recording on specially selected drumsets.. most earphones failed me at track 5 and 6, due to the inability to achieve the desired bass drum depth _________________________ anyone mind sharing what they use to audition as well? need to add to my collection thanks
-
yeah.. interest in alessandros :/
-
maybe its your ear size i've much smaller ears, and it does isolate for me a little, and when it traps air, the bass response is there but i've long retired them didnt really like the sound.
-
the sr80 has a slightly stronger bass response :/ sound stage is pretty.. similar.. at least to my hearing
-
its pretty cheap these days.. i got mine at abt 100 in the past the last time hwz had a 2nd hand of this it went for 45-50
-
progressive anyone interested in a short sample?
-
OMFG SO CUTE!! the box!!
-
average price per product?
-
i have a pair lying around... its.. PRETTY bassy, but does not have my desired depth for bass the earcushion provides a BIT of isolation, i have a pair lying around dont use them anymore btw the ear cushion, if you dont use for a few months.. the cushion may dry a bit and the lining will break.. :/ not really replaceable..
-
marantz!! i loved my marantz before it died.. it sounds a lot fuller and more forth coming as compared to rotel/denon/sony, the difference is quite distinct actually, i tried running 2 cd players into the same amp, marantz gives a slightly larger output than most other players, no change in vol of amp, a switch of source you can hear the difference pretty much.. when you have a higher budget in time to come you might wish to try out bigger names like krell etc.. which are still out of my budget/reach
-
after having gotten this for 3 weeks already.. cant get over it.. still listening to it.. pole folder's zero gold listening to some old albums too.. amanda mcbroom, and alison kraus & union station etc..
