![]() The Silver Dragon pairs well with genres, especially classical, jazz, and other music with lots of nuance and instrumentation. It will also tighten up the bass frequencies for a more controlled sound. This cable will also expand the soundstage on your headphones, giving a sense of airiness. That joy of hearing something you never noticed in your favorite song? That's the magic of the Silver Dragon. The Silver Dragon will find "lost" middle and high frequencies for enhanced detail in your music. It's not a world apart from the 7520, but clearly better, more natural in the mids.Īlso considering Dan Clark Flow RT Closed-just to broaden my horizons, I don't think any will get me to spend a lot of time listening on headphones.The Silver Dragon Cable will beautifully complement the warm and smooth sound of your AudioQuest planar magnetic headphones. Compared with the other, Lola has a nice low end (as do 7520, lacking in 7506), smooth mids (better than 7520, which lack clarity in the vocal range by having a critical mid dip accompanied but a bit of sizzle in the highs), and not over-done highs, giving it a smoothness. They sound quite good listening to music in general. In listening to various songs, vocals came across very well. I'll have to give a shot at tracking vocals tomorrow, but I expect it will fill the bill very well. Less than half what I paid for the 7520, definitely a bargain (and only $50 more than the ubiquitous 7506). ![]() They came in late day, I've spent some time comparing with the 7520 (and even pulled out the 7506 for a 3-way). It's a legacy product on the BLUE site, and BLUE is the Amazon seller. I was considering a change in tracking headphones, and while considering AKG K371 and looked up BLUE yesterday on a whim and saw the Lola on sale, $150, 40% off, on Amazon (returnable), gave it shot. Same use case, primarily tracking vocals, scrutinizing tracks. Of course, the RT sounds more like the ZMF than the NightOwl so wtf. ![]() I guess it's what some might think of as an 'warm' or 'analog' type sound vs a 'cold' or 'digital' sound from the RT. As a micro example, the piano notes during the introduction to the song Echoes hit your ear with the RT but arrive more softly, almost numbly with the Nightowl. Strictly from a neutral point of view, the RT tends to stay out of the way and allow the music to play. Soundwise I think the RT is the superior headphone. The Nightowl isn't holding up well as the leather suspension band isn't well connected to it's anchors. I love the lightweight suspension design. The RT demands plenty of electrons be available in the various ways they can be.īoth are comfy and stupid looking on the head. The Nightowl plays louder with it's saner. If I recall correctly, the felt pads tamed both the bass bloominess and the treble peakiness. This is with the included filter in the RT and the leather earcups in the Nightowl. The Audioquest Nightowl has much darker sound that emphasizes the midbass and tilts downward from there with a treble peak or two, but otherwise, comparatively syrupy. The DCA Aeon RT has more neutral sound, with a gentle cupping at the frequency extremes but not quite a V shape imo. I like them both equally for different reasons.
