Ok that makes sense.
I wonder if Olive has mentioned anything about spatial qualities in headphones.
Yeah for me imaging and spatial things matter a lot. And why most of my listening is done via speakers.
Like I feel too claustrophobic with headphones that are way too in my head. Which of course is the case with most headphones so I can’t listen to them for hours on end.
Imaging helps in that front. Having some space around the instruments is good.
I can listen to mono and be happy actually.
But in my car which I have tuned with DSP , if I listen to it now with the factory amp, It weirds me out. Of course I could get used to it again with sound just coming randomly from everywhere.
But listening to it with a proper phantom image in the middle of the windshield and images to the left and right is pleasing to my brain.
