Really nice bass response!
ReplyDeleteYeah its linear bass and sub-bass extension are quite extraordinary
DeleteThe comparison with the EL8 in the 6 to 7 kHz range is very interesting and something I wanted to see done using the same measurement system. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteIt really is interesting. BTW I recently got a replacement of brand new EL-8 open-back from Audeze. I'll gonna upload the FR of EL-8 latest version shortly. Sound is quite changed from the previous version!
Deleteyes，Tyll also measured a newer el8, seems there are a 4K high Q peak before the 6k hole. Curious about your measurement
ReplyDeleteI see. Where can I see that? I didn't know that Tyll did the measurement of latest version.
Deleteit is just the only sheet out there. Interestingly, he replaced the old one with the new one.
DeleteI see. I just checked out, and looks like his pair is rather similar to a older version. I'm curious about the serial number of EL-8 that he measured. Anyway, thanks for the info!
DeleteYou are welcome. Indeed the overall FR is quite similar, but the impulse response now shows inverted polarity, also some added noise in the step and impulse response due to the underdamped 4kHz peak.
DeleteAnother thing is that I am always curious at how the 6-7kHz hole forms. Is it a null because of standing wave formation？ That way it would be very interesting if one could change the position of the reference plane a little bit to see if the hole changes.
Actually my new pair does not have a steep hole @ 6kHz. I'd like to do the measurement that you've mentioned as well, but I don't have a older version anymore.

Check this out. I just uploaded the measurement of a new model.
