Blues 0 Report post Posted June 10, 2003 btw, I voted the first option the stereo simply cannot give me the same performance/detail for the same price of the cans/amp Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fishball79 0 Report post Posted June 10, 2003 Human perception of feelings and thoughts cannot be measured. We always judge a products worth by the comparison with other products we have experienced. Although you might not have heard high end stuff but something deep down inside tells you all the $0.50 freebie earphones or $50 cool Sony Streetstyle headphones don't sound right. This is again, a comparison with real life performances and such. You'll never upgrade had you never tried. *brought to you by the loudspeaker bias group* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mackie 0 Report post Posted June 10, 2003 Mackie, Oh dear... have u tried DNM Reson? Very similar... No matter what, you'd enjoy the Fishball, I have not tried this but I'm still very contented with my MAS speaker cables in shotgun wiring. For me, it's either OCOS or no change for me.

Blues 0 Report post Posted June 10, 2003 well.. you are probably right.. but then again the speakers just cost sooo muchhh and headphone/amp are more transport friendly When you move house, you don't have to worry all about the cables.. speakers, stuff also Granted, I want to move to speaker system someday too.. but I think it's better to own 2 at the same time. One cannot replace the other, because both just provide a different form of enjoyment. So speaker isn't necessarily superior to headphone too, imo. For me, I spend about 3 hours in front of my laptop everyday. The cans are very intimate and brings me closer to the artiste than speaker (in my experience, with limited speakers ;P) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fishball79 0 Report post Posted June 10, 2003 Mackerel, Got chance try. It sounded to me like OCOS jr with less transparency and bass details. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blues 0 Report post Posted June 10, 2003 oh yes.. and also, I have a friend who clearly prefers headphone over speaker. He said headphone is better than speaker coz it's closer to real sound. I don't know.. but he plays piano. Any of you/your friend is like that? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mackie 0 Report post Posted June 10, 2003 Fish, That's what I'm afraid of for the Krell is so sensitive to overly warm or bass-light sounding accessories that it will collapse. Its signature simply disappears. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fishball79 0 Report post Posted June 10, 2003 Guyferd, I spend just as much if not more time in front of the comp too. I got a good compromise between sound, portability and size... sub/sat systems! I think even a lowly (in comparison to mackie's mojo rig) Klipsch Promedia 2.1 or VIdeo Logic's sirrocco crossfire (if u can still find em) are good stereos...
