Once channel separation and noise floor improves, EVERYTHING becomes clearer. Notably, the unnaturally strong left ear/right ear ("ping-pong effect") sensation that some recordings produce will become more evident than ever before. This is considered by some to be one of the major drawbacks to headphone listening, and it only gets worse with balanced drive. In order to make certain recording sound more natural, I am considering the use of an external crossfeed processor for listening with my balanced amp and headphones.
