Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion The Water Cooler What kind of headphones do you have?

Running Grado 80's through an old silver faced Pioneer integrated amp and a Carver C-9 Sonic Hologram Generator. The Carver doesn't work for all pieces of music, but when it does, the effect is remarkable. I've never cared for the "in your head" soundstage created by headphone, but what can you do when the rest of the family is hogging the livingroom. The Carver helps expand the image horizontally and puts a bit more space between the instruments. Everyone else is right about preferring their speakers. Headphones are terrific with some forms of music (Radiohead, Pink Floyd) but they never provide the "You Are There" feeling of a live perfomance your speakers can provide.
