Is the cord attached properly? I remember when taking apart my hd580's that I had to plug the cables in so that the 'R' on the cable connector was facing out.  Don't know if that's it but worth a try.  The other question...

Have you tried another source, besides the computer?   Try connecting an iPod or similar to the Graham and see how that works.   If no change, try the Sennheisers directly to iPod.   Better yet, if you have a CD player...

Upstream path makes sense.  If you really like the hd595's (they're great headphones) then keep them and work up the chain.   I thought you were considering getting hd600's, which may be more of a side-grade from the 595's....

I just upgraded hd580 to hd650 and, while they're not burned in yet, am really enjoying the upgrade.  I missed the Amazon sale but bought them on electronics expo and used a coupon code I found on head-fi called BOUNTII.  ...

HD-650's arrived today.   Burning them in now.  Will play with them on the Yamaha for a few weeks.  My short list for amps is now Schiit Asgard, Little Dot Mk IV, and Bottlehead Crack.  I also really like the Burson...

Hi.  Just getting back into headphone audio and built out my current setup from old equipment I had sitting in my basement.  The system needs work.  I decided to start at the amp and work up.  From a sound...

Thanks for the reply. I like a dynamic, but clean, sound and hoping to get a little more bass from the 580's. I've been reading a lot about e Bifrost, but also looking at a DAC from Emotiva. It's only $249 but I've read mixed reviews....

Hi.  I haven't been around the audiophile / head-fi scene in about 10 yrs and just getting back into it.   The usual home theater stuff has been a constant but just getting back into 2-channel and, particularly,...
