)will dispute as a reference set are stax pro's.  having the good fortune
)to know someone who owns a pair, i use them when i can.

They were comparing CD players, not speakers or phones!  Unless both the
speakers and phones used block out the same portions of the audio spectrum,
the DIFFERENCES should have still been audible unless all the listeners
were total tin ears (seems unlikely) or the cat was meowing too loudly.

I'd like to hear the results of a similar CD A-B test with the Sony
CDP-200 and the Pioneer 900 videodisc/CD player.

I would also like to know about any headphones with great sound, reasonable
price and 50 to 60 db attenuation of ambient sound.  I have a pair of
Sony MDR-CD5 that sound great and give maybe 10-30 db attenuation
(vs Sen's which have almost NO ambient attenuation) but would like to
have more isolation, the better to enjoy CD's in my computer room.
