#PERSONAL NIGHTMARE REVIEW PROFESSIONAL#

The trumpet on track #3 sounds sharp (almost squeaky) and unnatural on the 009, despite EQ. Many of the pickiest professionals will still want a true Reference focal for at home/travel with MacBookPro, perhaps after utilizing our more sterile phones/monitor-speakers, at the desk.įocal’s near future potential has me truly excited more than anytime in the last 7-8yrs Focal will smartly occupy the market for professionals who still want to enjoy the emotive harmonic magic of what they’re working on throughout the process, with lower impedance to use them directly from our MacBookPro’s, like the AKG K812.

Whether Mark Knopfler or Xavier Naidoo, they 'had' more feeling on the Utopia.īut as I said, actually, both are on par.Ĭlick to expand.Every headphone I’ve heard from Focal has has had some degree of truly beautiful “magic”, and when coupled with their treble and upper mid attenuation, this camouflaging gorgeous sonic beauty kept them from being universally able to be used for professional work.Įven when they bring forth their most bright/crisp/neautral reference phone… their identity and relatively consistent “house sound”, leads me to believe they will not dare make it too sterile, like the HD800. Haunted Hotel: Personal Nightmare has a Illustrated realism style and uses a Point-and-click control scheme. The decisive factor for me is ultimately which HP can convey more emotion,Īnd there the Utopia is my personal winner. In addition, the Utopia has a better 'grip' on S-sounds. These sounded more harmonious, more present, more engaged, and above all more emotional on the Utopia. The biggest surprise for me was that the Utopia showed the 009 what to do with female and male voices. The Focal equally stress-free, incredibly dynamic and energetic, and almost as finely resolving. The Stax completely stress-free, extremely high-resolution, and indescribably musical. Then, it charges 0.79 up to 3 million, 0.69 up to 5 million, 0.59 up to 10 million, and for accounts with investments over 10 million they charge 0.49. Very bright, strongly mid-emphasized, and extremely low bass.Īdjusted according to Harmann, both headphones are on par.īoth are a hi-fi revelation in my opinion. Personal Capital charges 0.89 management fee for account management if you have lower than one million in your account. Without this, the 009, would be completely unusable for me. Dan Perkins is a published author of 4 novels on nuclear and biological terrorism against the United States and is a current events commentator for over 20+ news blogs. I must mention again that both KH are set according to Oratory's EQ settings (Harman target). That is given with the Focal, not with the Stax. I expect to be able to feel and see that in some way.
