Though you are more of an HD600 fan, tell us why you think the SR-71A is a portable worth of the HD650.

SR-71 can handle the high impedance of the HD6xx with ease, it has enough headroom to kick the butt of those phones. The primary phones used to voice the SR-71A is HD600.
cheers.

How can a portable drive them as well as a desktop amp? & I never got a reply when I sent you my condolences when your father passed. I sent you a card. Did you even get it?
