Re: Cheapest path to audiophile sound = headphones?

IMHO, this premise is unsound. It's like surmising an orange tastes the same as a apple. Although they are both fruits, they still have significant differences.

I believe the only valid conclusions which come out of comparing headphones with conventional speakers and/or set-ups, is that:

- they're very different listening experiences.

- both have pros and cons

- IMHO, the best conventional speakers will ALWAYS top the best headphone when it comes to simulating a live listening experience.

- Both can sound exceptionally good "in their own way".
