In the "Review of two recent recordings"
https://www.decware.com/cgi-bin/yabb22/YaBB.pl?num=1593494841Steve Deckert used 4 different headphones and said:
"Let’s just grab a third headphone. This one is complimenting the presentation the best overall while each of the other ones did certain things better."
Then trying a fourth pair:
"This last pair I am at the back of the pool and everything sounds completely real.
If I’ve learned anything tonight it’s why serious headphone listeners have so many different pairs."
This has me wondering:
Considering the cost of modern headphones, would it be money ahead for the listener if Decware were to build a headphone amplifier having one amp chassis with several circuits, and owning only a single set of headphones instead of multiple phones.
A listener could then plug into one of four or maybe five jacks to get the sound he wants. Or possibly the chassis has only one jack with a rotary selector switch to choose between the circuits.
Perhaps they would not need to be complete circuits. The effect may be achieved if some resistor or capacitor or something were made multiple and placed on a selector switch.
