Campfire Cascades are worth mentioning.

My pair of HE-500s is at least 8 years old (since that is when they were discontinued) and still rocks harder/has better mids than anything in their newer line. Grab yourself a pair of you see one.

Sometiimes it’s just easier to reach out and turn a knob, and can be more fun/satisfying as well. No argument though that a DSP serves the same purpose and typically offers much more precision.

There is zero evidence given here to support such a blanket statement. Fair to say some versions/mixes/masters may be better than others, including vinyl over digital? Certainly. Claiming vinyl ‘often sounds better’ based off of this n of 1? Nope.

A head…phones.
