26 October 2020 | On 14 May I promised you a complete, unexpurgated explanation of why I had to pull six headphones from the HTL listing because of uncertainties about their frequency response measurements. Well, it has taken this long to identify the problem and fix it, because it proved to be something of a surprise. You can read the full story here. |

15 May 2020 | Further to the item below, additional checks have ascertained that all the measurements conducted up to end-September 2019 are reliable. As two further headphones were measured subsequent to this date - the Mysphere 3.2 and Abyss AB-1266 Phi TC - their test results have also now been removed from HTL, I hope temporarily. |
14 May 2020 | It has been brought to my attention today, by someone who uses similar test equipment to mine, that our response measurements, which used to align well, diverged beginning earlier this year. In the circumstances, the only responsible action is for me to have the ear simulator in my artificial ear recalibrated, and remove from HTL those tests (while this issue is addressed) which may have been affected: AKG K371, Audeze LCD-1, Audio-Technica ATH-AWKT Kokutan, Dan Clark Audio Aeon 2 Open and T+A Solitaire P. I apologise for this thorougly undesirable situation. When the issue is resolved, I will provide a clear explanation of what the issue was. And, if necessary and I am able to, I will post new measurements for all the headphones affected. |
