Firewall for Headphones second review, "Fine Art for the True Connoisseur!"

Dear esteemed clients,

The soon-to-be-released Firewall for Headphones has received its second review. It has just been published by Srajan Ebaen of 6moons.com.

Firewall for Headphones: easily demonstrable, surprisingly oomphy!

August, 2024, author: Srajan Ebaen

"To my mind, such originality deserves a moment of silent appreciation. It's Fine Art of the audiophile sort"

"for the true connoisseur."

"If Gideon Schwartz did plan on another coffee-table book for Phaidon, on The Most Interesting Hifi Inventions… today's Firewall for Headphones would surely have to feature."

"heightens the visibility of connective tissue."

"Instantly notable on the piano's shorter more quickly damped high strings, being enveloped in this connective tissue enriches tone with micro reverb. It also gives transients rising inside the overhang of prior tones a less wiry texture."

"Yet turning it off by removing the Firewall for Headphones dries out this atmospheric element. That also hardens the sounds occurring within in. It's easily demonstrable"

"It goes beyond just more suchness of space. It allows us a deeper look into the ephemeral play of harmonics which give instruments their individual timbre. With the Firewall for Headphones out of the signal path, that overtone spectrum dried out just like the atmospherics."

"I found this difference dead easy to hear."

"The Firewall for Headphone's addition is surprisingly oomphy. It's a bit like what direct-coupled or ZOTL'd triodes do; without any concessions to noise or bandwidth. Recorded space occupies a broader percentage of the listening experience."

"the apparent nothing of empty space becomes its own far-from-nothing entity."

"maximizing this purity could become a heady mandate for super-serious listeners"

"it does exactly what Louis Motek's award-winning Firewall for Loudspeakers already does for speakers."

"It's definitely oomph not uff!"
