Quote:Originally Posted by wolfetan44 Or the 600's. And then a O2 + ODAC. The reason I recommend a 600 is because the 650's love tube and the 600 love SS amping and SS amps tend to be a lot less money. So this I think would work...

It depends what you want. If you want a more neutral, accurate tone than go with the 600. If you want a warmer more laid back sound with more bass presence go with the 650. The 600s will certainly sound closer to what you are used to...

Alexnova, The HD650 are anything but cold. They are a very warm headphone and will shine with proper amplification. I've always found Grados to have a thin sound to them, regardless of their lowest or highest end model, but again your...

I personally prefer the HD650 to any Grado I've heard, as I'm just not a fan of the Grado sound. If you are used to the Sennheiser sound chances are you'll have a hard time warming up to them, but I hope for your sake I'm wrong, unless...
